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.
@just-brajan exactly, his solution doesn't work,
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.
@GalliumDeathbro ... you drunk?
I am not here to argue but:
1) I admitted nothing so don't quote words i never said;
2) Registry tweak doesn't slow driver response, it does extend the the OS driver recovery time allowing graphic driver to complete its computations before Windows restarts it. Exactly this triggers the DXGI error most of the time.
The default value is 2 seconds so without a tweak, after two seconds of no response from driver Windows will restart it and cause game engine to crash with DXGI error. Tweak extends this timeout to 8 seconds. It's a workaround really, not a fix but still ...
Please get your facts straight before talking rubbish.
Ive seem to fix mine. DDU your gpu drivers, restart PC, once booted back up, go to device manager and go to display adapters. right click your gpu and update. DO NOT GET DRIVERS FROM GEFORCE EXPERIENCE OR NVIDIA WEBSITE! THEY'RE TRASH!
Ive been trying to fix this issue for days now. ive tried at least 10 different drivers and nothing worked.. the solution above is running flawlessly now!
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.
