LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 686] hr failed at D:/depot/r8branches/r

I get the same / similar error: LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 686] hr failed at D:/depot/r8branches/r8release/Engine/Source/Runtime/D3D12RHI/Private/D3D12Res

ever since I returned to the desert to ride that dinogiraffe and encounter lots of walkers with there troops - sometimesit crashes after 1 minute, somtimes after 10.

I have cleared shader cache, run as administrator, updated Nvidia drivers, disabled antivirus software, disabled full screen optimisations.

It has stuttered constantly throughout but never crashed until now. 

4090 | 13900K | Win 11 | Driver: 531.79

Such a shame, was loving the game and was able to look past the issues until now

Try turning off raytracing, that helped some people on this thread, thanks:

Try turning it back on when you get to a new/next area.

I think thats pretty LAME.

Turn off game features that you paid for in order to play the game, because we are unable to fix the game 3 months after release...

EA,

I have this same exact issue, and i am running a 4060. Any 40 series graphic driver should not have this problem and since this is a re occurring issue i do feel that your staff needs to find a way to fix this bug. We as consumers should not have to pay for a game that should run beautifully and constantly adjust every time your game has a problem because you are unwilling to resolve the issue. That being said, i will try to turn ray tracing off but this does little to no good if you have multiple people reporting this error.

I tend to agree i havent been able to get any playability out of the game so far. its kind of making me want a refund, i have to computers and even my precious isn't working man. as a consumer it makes me want to say away from your product. the 1st game had minimal issues on pc from what i experience and this pos takes about 3x the space on my extreme ssd feels like wasted space. i know my equipment is good

just bought the game and after trying everything, it still crashes

I receive the same error and I have never had raytracing on. Please return to this error code. It's been reported since launch and still it's happening. That is NOT acceptable.

I'm no game dev, but i've kinda figured out what's going on (so EA might read this and send a dev to finally fix the problem). The issue is a bad reference, likely someone using a test asset somewhere and not changing the reference to a game file. 

I have a D:// Drive, and there is no reference to this "depot" folder. I can't see it with admin permissions. Hell, I can't see it with any permissions. So, EA, please get a dev to fix this reference. It's trying to reference a device that is "Hung", meaning the asset literally doesn't exist.

I may not be a dev, but I know how system files work.
