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.

No worries man, I'll make a small edit to it.

I know it seems to have worked for quite a few people.

Cheers for the reply.

Max in game settings.
Full screen.

Same error.

Driver 418.81    Rolling back made no difference.

Game is unplayable.  Within a few minutes, every time, it crashes with that specific error, or no error at all.

I tried repairing the game and that made no difference.

I keep getting this damn error, I have no idea what's causing it.

All platforms are having the same issue.. one common denominator. Apex Legends

I'm running a 2080ti and i9, me and a friend with the same GPU had the same issue. We managed to fix by rolling back the drivers to 417.35 -  released 12/12/2018 (not the most recent ones) and using MSI Afterburning to downlock the core and mem speed by ~400, not really sure which fixed it but is running fine now. Might be worth trying if you're in the same boat with a 20 series. 

I'm having the same issues:
PC - Windows 10 Pro 1809 build 17763, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz (12 CPUs), ~3.7GHz

Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Pathfinder
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? Randomly across the mapHow many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 1

When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 5.2.2019 22:35
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Game crashes to this error: Engine Error - 0x887A0006 - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.
What should be happening instead? No crash to error
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? no idea
