Direct X Error

I'm consistently getting the DirectX Function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" error. Started off an hour into playing the 1st time, now I get it barely 30 seconds after playing the game.

Tried clean reinstalling the latest drivers and still getting the below.

 

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

    I'm having the same issue. I had multiple crashes in CC on day 1, things stabilized day 2. Since day 3 I have at least a crash a day until yesterday when I try to choose my party and fast travel I get the hard crash. I have tried every solution I've found and now I'm left with uninstalling and reinstalling, which is an annoying thing to have to do when you have a limited mount of gigs per month and if you go over you get charged. Some people have had luck with reverting their driver update to a previous one but others said it had no effect.  This is not an isolated problem- it seems like a LOT of people are having so I am hopeful for a solution. 

  • i started getting this error out of nowhere 30+ hours into the game. i fixed it by rolling back to older drivers. (i have an amd gpu. 24.8.1 is working for me, i'm on a 6800XT) maybe this can also work for nvidia or intel users.
    if not, i hear lowering the shadows helps other people.

      Ok, so I figured out what happened to me- for some reason a bunch of my settings got bumped to "Ultra". I went in and fixed them and haven't had the issue since.
