DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED or DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

 I got my first crash in a few days yesterday, previous to that the game was running smooth for me.  Here's my config:

Nvidia 3080ti

No up-scaling of any sort (DLSS off) in both game and Nvidia control panel

AA is off

DX12

Sharpness slider in game set to ZERO - This is what seemed to have really helped, and is confirmed by ChatGPT saying frostbite:

In BF6, sharpness is tightly coupled to the temporal upscaler path:

FSR2 always includes a sharpening pass

Even when “upscaling” is off, Frostbite may:

Keep the FSR2 pipeline instantiated

Skip scale, but still run resource checks

Setting sharpness to 0 can short-circuit parts of that path

So by turning sharpness all the way down, you likely:

Prevented allocation or reuse of an FSR2-related resource

Or avoided a conditional path that later dereferences a freed pointer

What this tells us (important)

This is not:

GPU instability

PSU / RAM failure

Bad NVIDIA driver

DX11 vs DX12 specific

You “not fully disabling” FSR2

This is:

A bug in BF6’s Frostbite FSR2 integration

FSR2 code executing even when the feature is “disabled”

A stale pointer being accessed during a render / feature-gating check

The function name is the smoking gun. Games don’t randomly crash inside ffxFsr2ResourceIsNull unless that path is still live.
