Ihave EA Play through Gamepass. Trying to play Dead Space 3 coop with my girlfriend but it we can't invite each other to our game or see each other listed under "browse friends games". Running in Origin isn't an option because EA Play is only recognized in EA Desktop, not Origin. Don't get me started on how foolish that is. Is there a fix coming to the Desktop app soon for co-op play in games like Dead Space 3?

I'm also having the same problem, I use EA Desktop and I can't invite my friend to play Dead Space 3 co-op. When I invite him, he appears online, but there is no option to invite him to the online match. I've created both public and private rooms and nothing, I just can't call him and he can't call me to play either. What is the solution, because going through the Origin app, the game is not recognized. In the attached image, where "..." appears, there are only 3 options: View profile, Block and Report, there is no option to send invitation to join the game


first of all - make sure that you are the friends with the person you are trying to play with (BOTH in the Xbox app and the EA Desktop).



Secondly - if you are getting these notifications (attachment 1.png and 2.png), you have to change the NAT settings. Go to the video below and follow the steps:


that's the second step (If nothing will help you can try this step aswell...), the third is adding some things as an exception to your firewall.



Open your firewall

Go to advanced settings

Click Inbound Rules and then - add the New Rule, select Program, enter the path of your DS3 location and then click the deadspace3.exe

Allow the connection

Check everything (domain, private, public)

And name it however you want (in my case it was Dead Space 3 ANY bcuz you allow the game to use any internet protocol it wants, so you dont chose between the udp or tcp)



Make another rule, but this time select the Core folder in your DS3 directory and then click the ActivationUI.exe



Now go to your Control Panel, click Network and Internet, go to the Network and Sharing Center and click Change adapter settings on the left. From there you should:

Disable and then Enable the internet connection. The name of connection will depend on what kind of the connection you are currently using, but in my case it was called Ethernet (basically the wired internet name), anyway that's the thing that helped me. Also, just in case, you can reboot your internet connection and restart the PC, but I don't think that's necessary.



Btw you can't send an invitation through the EA Desktop since the app doesn't support the invitation feature in the Dead Space 3 (which is really laughable). You have to make the public lobby and wait (for the person you are waiting for) to join, this person should seek for your lobby in the browse friend's games menu.



I hope this will help some of y'all. Imo it's worth trying, the game in the co-op is amazing, so the effort pays off!



EDIT: One more thing... I couldn't play today and i've spent lil more than an hour re-doing all the steps, and I've figured out that this game doesn't really like the Riot Vanguard, so if you'd like to play the DS3 co-op - you probably have to uninstall the valorant and riot vanguard in order to do so. Uninstall may be crucial, bcuz exiting vanguard didn't fix the issue in my case.


Hey! You were relegated to my junk folder, sorry for taking so very long. We first tried within the game itself, then tried through the EA app, but no luck. We can't see each other listed. I'll grab a screenshot when we try to connect again, not at the home PC at the moment.


Oh my God, You're my savior @Maciejosmuchacho ! Exactly today I wanted to play with my friend in Dead Space 3 and we've tried a bunch of different suggestions but your one helped! After changing the NAT settings we finally could start the game together. Hope your answer can help others too.


This method of troubleshooting is way more complex than this should be. People should be able to just "Invite Friends to Play" regardless of what platform they're on, be it PX, XBox, or Playstation (Provided they're playing on the same platform)


Dead Space is a science fiction/horror franchise created and directed by Glen Schofield. Dead Space was developed by Visceral Games and published and owned by Electronic Arts. The franchise's chronology is not presented in a linear format; each installment in the Dead Space franchise is a continuation or addition to a continuing storyline, with sections of the storyline presented in prequels or sequels, sometimes presented in other media from the originating video game series, which includes two films and several comic books and novels.


Primarily set in a 26th century science fiction universe featuring environments, weapons, and characters typical of the genre, the Dead Space franchise centers on a series of video games beginning with the release of the first Dead Space, which centers on starship engineer Isaac Clarke and mutated undead horrors that surround him. A central theme in the games is the fictional cult religion "Unitology" and its fanatical adherents, who believe that information about an alien artifact called the "Marker" is being suppressed by "EarthGov", the central political administration of Earth. Their primary goal is to use the Marker as a means to bring about the "Convergence", or complete destruction of humanity, with the Marker and its malevolent influence being the source of the undead monsters encountered by the series' protagonists.


The Dead Space video game series has been positively received; the first game in particular won a number of industry awards for the varied elements of its gameplay and development, and is often regarded as one of the best video games of all time by critics. From a commercial perspective, EA considered the video game series as a whole to have underperformed. After the financial disappointment of 2013's Dead Space 3, no further media for the franchise was produced until a remake of the first game was developed by Motive Studio and released on January 27, 2023.


Systems engineer Isaac Clarke joins a search and rescue team for the USG Ishimura, which had gone radio-silent, after receiving a message from his girlfriend Nicole. Their ship suffers damage when attempting to dock with the Ishimura; while the rest of the crew assess the situation and search for a means to leave the Ishimura, Isaac explores the ship to look for Nicole. The ship is overrun by Necromorphs, forcing Isaac to defend himself by weaponizing his mining tools and "Resource Integration Gear" (RIG) spacesuit capabilities. Due to the Red Marker's influence, Isaac experiences recurring visions of Nicole, who guides him to return the Marker to the planet. Towards the end of the game, it is revealed that one of the rescue team members, Kendra Daniels, is a double agent. She betrays Isaac, but is killed by a large Necromorph creature before she can escape, while Isaac commandeers her ship and escapes Aegis VII after defeating the creature and allowing the Marker to be destroyed by a sabotage attempt he had initiated earlier. The sole survivor of the entire ordeal, Isaac soon hears something behind him and looks back to see a horrific hallucination of Nicole.


Dead Space 2 reveals that Isaac has become mentally disturbed and unstable after he destroyed the Red Marker on Aegis VII, and that he was captured by EarthGov and taken to the Sprawl, a massive space-station built into the remains of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Once there, EarthGov scientists extract information from his mind to build another Marker, and he is later confined to a hospital on the Sprawl due to a dementia-like mental illness caused by the first Marker. A Necromorph outbreak in the Sprawl instigated by the Marker copy soon occurs, thrusting Isaac into a struggle to survive the Necromorph epidemic. Haunted by hallucinations of the deceased Nicole Brennan, Isaac manages to destroy the Marker copy and undo its influence on his mind. Isaac succeeds in escaping with another survivor, Ellie Langford, before the explosive destruction of the station, and goes into hiding from EarthGov authorities as his mind still retains information about the Markers.


Dead Space 3 occurs a few years later. While Isaac Clarke and Ellie Langford returned to Earth and dated for a while, their relationship fell apart. As he is struggling with the breakup in his apartment on the moon, Unitologists led by Jacob Danik activate a Marker near the colony, causing a Necromorph outbreak. Isaac is rescued and enlisted by EarthGov soldiers to help locate Langford, who had traveled to Tau Volantis, one of Earth's oldest off-world colonies, in search of the true origins of the Markers and a means to stop the Necromorph scourge once and for all.


Rumors of a revival of Dead Space within EA appeared in early 2021. Venture Beat reported in July that this revival was a remake of the first game, in the same vein as the Resident Evil 2 remake, and would be a relaunch of the franchise. EA confirmed the remake of Dead Space, under development by Motive Studio, in their EA Play event the same month.[8][9] It was released on January 27, 2023.


A prequel to the first Dead Space, Dead Space: Extraction follows a group of colonists from the Aegis VII colony who are beset by Necromorphs created when the Red Marker is removed. Originally released as a rail shooter title for the Nintendo Wii in 2009, a port with PlayStation Move support for the PlayStation 3 was later released as a downloadable game on the PlayStation Network in 2011. It was also bundled with copies of the limited editions of Dead Space 2 for the PlayStation 3.
