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

Bottom line this is the display driver crashing. You will find corresponding nvddm errors and windows reporting errors. All survivor is doing is reporting the display adapter was removed. This really need to be fixed by Nvidia.

Now survivor could more gracefully handle this error by pausing game and waiting for driver to reappear.

i think most of the fixes on this and other threads for this error are false fixes, it seems that rebooting the computer is effective for me as any other fix. This could indicate a time base / cache issue. But unclear.

For many a reboot does not fix it. The problem comes right back after a reboot quickly. The reality IMO is that modern hardware is not working correctly for this game for whatever reason. Its not a bad graphics card or RAM. It is related to the SOC voltage as the problem is clearly reduced for me when pumping more SOC voltage. Why only this game seems to overload my rig I have no idea. I can run the adaptive OCCT graphics test all day long and it not crash at lower than max SOC voltage. The OCCT adaptive stress test is specifically designed as a simulation for Unreal Engine 4 which this game uses. I can run RAM stress tests for days and never have an issue. CPU stress tests the same. This has to do with an error with pcie express bus signal integrity which relates to SOC. Even running my system completely stock with the only thing being touched is SOC voltage. This game crashes on Jedha with this device hung crap. Turning off RT solves it. Respawn needs to take a look at specifically ray tracing on Jedha IMO. I think most people with this issue are using RT. For those that are not I suspect all they need to do is increase their SOC voltage and they will likely be OK. I am an X3D owner and I can't tune my SOC any higher than 1.30v. I tried the whole TDRdelay and level regedit thing. Doesnt make a difference. No software solution makes a difference. I've done it all. I get no crashes anywhere but Jedha.
