Apex Legends crash

Temporary Fix (For Myself & Hopefully Others)

For those that are still getting the error:

0x887A0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

or

Instant crashing to desktop 

The best way to fix this is to uninstall you current Nvidia drivers, which should be version (418.81) and the roll back your drivers to a previous version (15 January drivers, 417.71)

I personally use DDU (Display Driver Uninstall) to fully remove all traces of a display driver and once restarted then install Nvidia driver version 417.71. DDU can be found below, feel free to read up on it if you wish as great bit of software.

Drivers are still listed on the official Nvidia site and can be found here:

I done this and managed to play Apex Legends all night (6 hours plus) without a single crash or error appearing. Previously I was crashing with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG every 30 minutes or so.

This is only a temporary fix until the new Nvidia drivers are out and correct.

After speaking to a chap from Nvidia he mentioned that they have managed to replicate the error we are having and are working on a fix asap.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
