DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED or DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Hi all,

Good news! I was able to (almost) fully remediate the problem (edit: for myself, obviously, not the entire community).

For some context, I experienced a BSoD outside of running BF6, so I started to suspect the problem may not be BF6 related after all.

After trying what feels like every other solution on the internet without success, I decided to reset BIOS to default and do a full reinstall of Windows 11, following the steps described by the "Guide: What to do AFTER building your computer..." by JayzTwoCents on youtube.

The thing that caught my eye in this video is that he explains that after first booting into windows, he recommends letting the automatic windows updates run fully before installing any recent drivers. He claims this prevents problems caused by certain functionality not fully "unlocking" when installing the latest drivers. In my first windows install I did not do this, in fact I installed all the mobo/gpu drivers from a USB before connecting to internet and THEN allowing windows update to run. This was an approach suggested by LinusTechTips, which I now do not recommend, in favor of the approach by JTC.

Anyway, I reinstalled Win11, let it update, THEN installed the latest motherboard and nvidia drivers. (FYI I was already running the most recent BIOS version, back when I was still having issues).

Now, I've been playing BF6 for almost 3 hours without a single crash.

I hope this helps someone!

EDIT: about 15 hours more now, have had only one crash when I received an in-game EA invite. Still considering this a massive improvement.
