Battlefiled 2042 - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG - Fix (For me)

I tried everything. Latest BIOS, Reinstalled Windows, graphics settings, latest GPU drivers. LIST of thing I've tried was ENDLESS

It seems this below has fixed the issue for me.

Watch ALL of this video to understand why the issue occurs.

Whether this is AMD or Nvidia GPU set these undervolts / clock settings. 

- MAX MHz Freq 2015

-Voltage 1030 (mV)

This should resolve your BF2042 DirectX errors. Let me know if you are successful!

5800 x3d

Radeon 7900 XTX 

32GB DDR4 Memory

1200W PSU

  • This hasn't worked for me unfortunately. Same setup. 7900xtx with a 5800x3d 32gb ddr5 1200psu. I've just about given up hope and about to request a refund.

    It pops up for me from time to time too (1 time in 100), but I haven't played with the voltages (I prefer not to take risks). I just cranked up the fan speed so that the GPU doesn't lower it when the temperature reaches 70 °C. The top RTX's are walking wavetables, they get very hot and to keep them from damaging themselves they undervoltage.


    Currently on my RTX2080 the temperatures don't exceed 69°C and the voltage and power consumption doesn't drop, so I don't have any artefacts etc. and most importantly, FPS don't drop by GPU undervolting.


    The default GPU cooling configuration is generally too weak, unlike new CPUs , GPU cores are more delicate and should be cooled at all costs, unless you want to have artifacts and other problems after the warranty expires because the section/memory will start to break down due to damage from too high temperatures especially as you block the graphics undervolting. Just because the GPU core doesn't exceed 71°C doesn't mean the memory doesn't have much higher temperatures 🙂


    GPU manufacturers have a sick rule of thumb :
    First undervolting the voltage and power consumption, then the clocks, and if that doesn't help then only the GPU overclocks the fan speed 🙂 What they don't do to make a card fit for scrap after warranty.

    Since the Radeon HD 3 series died as a result of overheating, I have used a manual cooling chart on every GPU since. Since I have been using this, I have not had any problems with the GPU.


    On my RTX2080 Super the only problem is the noisy fans, but as far as graphics go I have no problems.


    EA AC causes a ton of bugs because its whitelist is mega limited and until EA's studio expands it, problems like this will occur.

  • man u run your card losing almost 900mhz? i prefer to give up from this, have tme same specx and same problem

    Hi I had this problem with directx error only when playing bf2042. The only way I could get the game to work was going into the  mother board BIOS and disabling X.M.P . Turning the mother board ddr ram from auto setting to manual MHz of the installed ram. Then re enabling X.M.P . Hope this helps some one.
