Re: Engine Error 0x887A0006 - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Hello to Everyone. I have the same problem and the game is always crashing for me. After season 4 i am constantly crashing every 2-3 games.I had to press W+TAB to see either 0x887A006 or 0x887A005 error.

I did something yesterday night and i haven't crash since, dont know if it's a coinsidence. Have tried before every possible solution i could find here, reddit Etc, including formatting 2 times etc etc.

So, what i did yesterday ? I thought how come these streamers not crash ? And i found someone launching the game with the following commands :

First of all, at origin right click Apex Legends - game properties - advanced launch options and i added the following :

+exec autoexec -refresh 240 -console - preload -forcenovsync -high     

Notice here after refresh you should enter your monitor's refresh rate - mine is 240 , and also you have to make an Autoexec file for the first command to apply. Plenty of How-To make

Autoexec.cfg on internet, i will only type what i have in the Autoexec :  

mat_compressedtextures 1
cl_ragdoll_collide 0
fps_max 0
cl_forcepreload 1

So that's all i did and the game feels very smooth, i havent had a single crash and specially at Firing range which i could not play even 5 minutes before.... Could you try this too and see if it works ? I noticed the fps are not so stable, many ups and downs, BUT the game is really very very smooth since.

My rig is 9900k - 5.0ghz / 1.290v (notice here that i have AVX Offset 0) - 2080ti - Gigabyte Aorus Master / M.2 / 16Gb Ram @3600

Hope i dont crash again and this could help the community too.

    I'll try that dude. I hope this works because this issue starts pissing me off ☹️

    I'll be back soon, or I hope not.

  • Okay, after 15 min, im back. No.. Thats not the solution. I tried everything and I still have the issue.

    Restore video drivers (uninstall, clean, and re-install), also restore BIOS by default (worked for 1 day), and other ways to try it, but nothing works...

    This issue is pissing me off a lot, it should be solved after last nvidia patch (442.50), but its not... Actually, starts appearing after that patch. But I think that was just a coincidence.

    Help please 

  • I'm sorry to hear that man, i have not a single crash for a week+ so now, the only things i changed is what i did at my last post, i did some windows updates, disabled EVERYTHING in origin and i changed my Arctis pro headset to Earbuds. I changed nothing else. Maybe i just got lucky i suppose.

    Hi guys. I finnaly got to fix problem on my PC. I just turned off all nvidia audio driver stuff in device manager. I attached image.

    What i did before that didn't help:

    * clean driver installation

    * DDU utility

    * bios update

    * all possible driver update 

    * directX reinstall

    * old drivers till first one was released

    * windows reinstall

    * bios settings change

     Only closing this two things got me to play apex today for couple of hours. Hope it will help you too
