I appreciate you replying on this thread. It seems to me that a substantial amount of other people are also having this same issue. It is in the vast majority of this forums other threads. It would mean everything to me be able to play this game again. This is really frustrating.
I have sent in two tickets with the DxDiag with this error, but both of them were marked "closed" without a resolution. I can reply later with a DxDiag - however, I am not at home right now.
The error is verbatim: [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"
This will happen once I am in a match, sometimes it takes 30 seconds, sometimes it takes 3 minutes. Game runs buttery smooth, everything fine. Then bam - The game will Freeze, and the above Error will pop up. Clicking Ok on the error window will close the game window.
I was playing since your launch without any hiccups whatsoever - but since yesterday (2/11/2019) I have been unable to finish a match. Through 6 hours of trial and error last night, I have tried all the following - with a corresponding control test, and every combination inbetween to no avail:
1) Rolling back to every Nvidia driver version going back to 416.94, also deleting Nvidia GeForce Experience
2) Switching between Fullscreen + Windowed + Borderless
3) Any and All Video Quality Settings, from Lowest possible, to Highest Possible
4) Turning off V-Sync
5) Turning off G-Sync
6) FPS Limiters
7) Stock CPU Speeds & Stock GPU Speeds / Overclocked CPU & GPU
8) CPU Core limiters
9) Repairing Game Files, Uninstalling Game via Origin Launcher
10) Clean Re-Install of Origin & Apex Legends, deleting all cache files etc. etc.
11) Turning off/Removing any and all Overlays - Origin & Third Party.
12) Turning off/Removing any and all potentially invasive background processes
I guarantee there are more tests/controls I missed on this list - I tried everything. Im serious.
6. hours.
Please advise. Thank you for your help.
