DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED or DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Update from today - game seems to be running really well after further diagnostics- No signs of issues in Debug atter reg suppression

Description:

Battlefield 6 consistently triggered DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED crashes under Ultra settings on an AMD RDNA3 GPU. Through a multi-phase forensic diagnostic process, I isolated the root cause to invalid encoder parameters passed to AMD’s AMF stack — specifically involving AV1 or H.264 initialization — even when overlays and telemetry were disabled.

System Context:

• GPU: AMD Radeon (RDNA3)
• Driver: Adrenalin 23.x
• OS: Windows 11 Pro
• Game: Battlefield 6 (Ultra, DX11)
• Tools: DebugView with filters for AMF, D3D11, DXGI, HRESULT

Diagnostic Summary:

1. Crash logs showed AMF encoder faults and device removal:

AMFEncoderCoreH264::SetPropertyInternal() → AMF_INVALID_ARG HRESULT: 0x887A0007 (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED)

1. Disabled overlays and telemetry (EA App, Adrenalin, CCP_APP) — crash persisted
2. No replay/highlight toggle found in BF6 UI or config
3. Registry suppression of AMF and AV1 resolved the issue:
• EnableAMF=0, DisableAV1=1, ForceH264=1, EnableReLive=0, EnableStreaming=0
• Applied to both HKLM\SOFTWARE\AMD\CN and HKLM\SOFTWARE\AMD\DVR
4. Post-suppression: No encoder logs, no device removal, game stable under Ultra load

Recommendation:

Please investigate whether Battlefield 6 is initializing encoder paths unnecessarily or with malformed parameters. Consider exposing a toggle for internal replay/highlight systems or suppressing encoder hooks when overlays are disabled.
