DXGI Error Device Hung Fix

If you are getting the device hung error I was too. Hopefully this fix works for you because it worked for me. My game is now stable with the latest patch of season 4. Go and download a program call...

I am surprised none of the people getting this error have tried my fix or have responded to this post. Just and update... As of now I have played all night, many hours with no device hung error crash. Completely stable.

There is a faster and more reliable way to fix this (registry tweak): https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Possible-fixes-to-2-crash-issues-DXGI-amp-NO-ERROR-PC-Only/m-p/8730966#M62856
I went through driver reinstalling some time ago but eventually the problem came back. Registry tweak works fine still.

    My solution does work it worked for me. Just because for one person it didn’t work doesn’t mean it won’t help others. As for for you @just-brajan you’ve posted this in countless threads and people have told you this isn’t a fix it just slows the driver response time which isn’t good. You even admitted you link your fix to get up votes to boost your forum status. @DuckOff_TV I am sorry this didn’t help but hopefully it will resolve issues for others.

Hey, For those who tried to update their graphic drivers but it didn't work:

I also have this issue since I reinstalled windows 10 a few days ago...

I tried to reinstall my graphic drivers with DDU several times with different drivers but to no avail.

So with GPU-Z I checked what was happening with my GPU (GTX1070 EVGA) during the crashes and I saw that my GPU would reach 100% load at the moment it crashes (before the crash it is at around 98% load)

So I downloaded an "overclocking" GPU software (EVGA Precision) and set the clock to -50 and no more crashes in Apex.

Basically, I had to underclock my GPU to avoid the problems. I haven't tested that for a long period but when I tried it worked consistently for several minutes and when I would reset the GPU clock to its default value it would crash almost right away.

Hope this can also help others.
