DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Sadly, sorry for the late reply I was very busy. 

Yes, all C++ and .net frameworks are all updated. DirectX.  All Windows Update has been Updated and yet the problem still presist. It also happens when loading into another map or just randomly crash during playing when some event/script happens. Or just really random CTD . 

Any ideas ?

I know there are other posts about DirectX, but I haven't found one recently, and using the search bar for directx crashes. 

Using a template from a bug report forum for BF3:

Issue: Crash to Desktop (CTD)
Platform: PC
Map: South China Sea 
Mode: Campaign
Description: Right after fighting through to the doors of the med-bay after getting onto the Valkyrie I get a CTD with this message after trying to activate the door.

" DirectX Error:
DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is a design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed."). GPU: "AMD Radeon HD 6900 series", Driver: 13.9 (13.152-230830a-163178C-ATI) "

Has happened twice now in the same spot. I will try and update my GFX drivers to the beta version and see if that helps. 

As a side note, i've read on this forum from a helper/hero/com. manager that EA doesn't read these forum posts, yet here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955065670118762490/last/ it says to post in these forums for technical issues, which I kind of get, but how would EA know of the bugs/glitches/crashes or other random problems with a game if they don't read this forum while directing users to this forum for tech. issues? I find it kind of defeating the purpose if they'll never read the posts which would allow them to push a fix in a patch.

I had the same problem try changing the compatibility mode of bf4.exe on your installation folder to windows vista SP 2 x32 this worked for me

There are more respondents active on the AHQ forums than there are on Battlelog, but it is Battelelog, where the DICE people are watching for thngs they will try fixing.  Only EA Help provides official support. 

AHQ is Self-Help, gamer to gamer.  Not official, and no obvious oversight by DICE (I have never seen a single instance here indicating the presence of any DICE personnel visiting here).  Have you run any Search of your question in here?  I'm pretty sure it's been answered already. 

the solution I give was given to me from EA Help

Everytime I'm playing campaign and multiplayer, regardless of map, eventually I get a DirectX Error that reads: 

DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The application's device failed due to a badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed. ") GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti, Driver: 33165

I've read that there used to be a problem like this in BF3, but that there has been no fix as of yet for either game. I've had people claim they've fixed the issue by reinstalling drivers, underclocking, etc. but all of these solutions do not seem to work for everyone or at all. This is very inconvenient, and even though there are so many posts about this error, I am so disgruntled as a customer that there has been no official response that I had to create a new post to hopefully garner more attention. 

yeah it sucks i have an GTX 770 and i have no bugs in game beta, and now i have that same error 

I'll try it now, and sorry, I searched for directx problems and there were so many, I guess I didn't check enough for that problem. I find it weird that you would have to have the game run in compatablity mode for Windows Vista..but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help by the way 😕mileyhappy:

First of all is your graphics driver too old, this leads me to believe you should update all your drivers before you do anything else. Secondly you should reinstall DirectX.

Do you run Win8?

 I've tried every suggestion given since the release of BF3.  Still not fixed.  And hold on... Let me try playing BF3 now...  Yea.  Same error.
