Re: LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 686] DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Almost a relief to know others are also having this issue.

When it first keeps happening, I can't help but think "Oh no. My GPU is dying" "my PC is broken" or something.

But for me this LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 686] DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG bug was happening at:

Imperial Post 8L-855

There are about 3 waves of enemies to fight in the hanger.

1. Attempt 1, I died. Wasn't watching my health bar.

2. I defeated the initial bad guys, and then the waves never started. Just had to reload my last save. I couldn't continue.

3. After that I would get the DXGI error every 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it would happen during the waves of enemies. Sometimes it would happen 1-5 minutes after going up the elevator after the waves.

Tried everything I could think of. (DDU/Nvidia drivers. Repair game. Reinstall game on different SSD. SFC/Scannow. Lower settings. Leaving the world and coming back. Turning off RT) After all that, still crashing to that error.

Basically, I think I just got through the area it was happening.. Maybe.

1. I used Nvidia GeForce Experience to set the game settings to default Optimize (max). Previously I had tried using that, but put the optimization slider half way down. Maybe one of those settings caused it.

2. I defeated the waves of enemies, but rather than going forward up the elevator, I went back and saved at the meditation point.

After this, I made it all the way to defeating Dagan Gera.. It was probably an hour later but I was still worried about crashing. Got to a meditation point and saved. I then tried to fast travel back to the ship... and it didn't crash, but the loading screen froze to the point I had to restart my PC.

Luckily the save took.

Curious if this bug has to do with corrupted save files... Because for me, this all started with a bug that didn't allow me to continue the game... So I had to load an old save.  Probably just a coincidence though.
