DirectX error in Battlefield 6 DXGI
Since the start of the new season, the game has been crashing due to a DirectX "GetDeviceRemovedReason" function failure, resulting in the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error. These crashes occur at various...

Here is some additional information I gathered during testing. I tried various tips—including those from Reddit—ranging from changing drivers to lowering RAM frequency. I adjusted the game's graphics settings and tried every preset. I switched from DX11 to DX12. None of this yielded any results. I ran stress tests in other games, and everything was fine. I also ran benchmarks (OCCT, AIDA) with no issues. The game crashes at the exact same spot every time: on the spawn selection screen after dying. Nowhere else. A micro-stutter occurs—as if the GPU load suddenly drops—followed by a driver timeout. It is impossible to predict when the crash will happen; it might crash several times in a single session, or not at all.

Community ManagerSo the spawn selection screen was an issue. I know updates 1.3.1.5 and 1.3.2.0 both had updates in them with that specific issue. I am looking for that issue though. It has been a good min since I saw it. Apologies for the wall of text. This was the last thing I had seen on it.
Since standard graphics tuning and stress tests haven't resolved this, here are targeted workarounds specifically designed for GPU downclock and UI transition crashes:
- Set a Minimum GPU Clock Speed in AMD Adrenalin
Preventing the GPU core clock from plunging too low during UI transitions helps prevent driver timeouts:
- Open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition > Performance > Tuning.
- Select Custom tuning for Battlefield 6.
- Enable GPU Tuning and toggle Advanced Control ON.
- Set the Minimum Frequency (MHz) to roughly 100–200 MHz lower than your Maximum Frequency (for example, if Max is 2500 MHz, set Min to ~2300 MHz).
- Click Apply Changes.
- Disable AMD Driver Enhancements & Overlays
Driver-level frame generation and latency features can crash during 3D-to-2D UI mode switches:
- In AMD Adrenalin (Gaming > Battlefield 6 profile), turn OFF:
- AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF)
- Radeon Anti-Lag / Anti-Lag+
- Radeon Boost
- Radeon Super Resolution (RSR)
- Disable Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO) in Windows Because you are running a dual-monitor setup (LG UltraGear + BenQ)
- Download the official Microsoft MPO disable registry file (or set WriteBlockTest to 1 under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM).
- Restart your PC.
- Increase Windows GPU Timeout Delay (TdrDelay)
By default, Windows resets the GPU driver if it takes more than 2 seconds to respond during a transition stutter:
- Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
- Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
- Right-click in the right pane > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Name it TdrDelay and set its Value data to 8 (Decimal).
- Restart your PC.
