    every time Im in a battle royale, somewhere around changing graphics settings, teh game freezes and closes with this:

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    The error text mentions DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED. The graphics card is obviously still in the PC. This only started after i installed Dell Broadcom BD Accelerator Driver A04... i've verified game files, lowered settings and closed every overlay i could find. Still crashes. Is the driver the culprit, or did the upadte just expose a problem that was already there? pls help 🙏

    does it also happen in other games, or only in a tactical shooter? ?

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    been there man DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED means the GPU stopped responding and Windows reset it (TDR), sooo teh game lost its D3D device. Check Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System for Event ID 4101 at the crash time. If you see it, its a GPU/driver reset, not a game file problem.

    yeahhh look at the game's own crash logs too. Many engines write a log with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG vs DEVICE_REMOVED vs DEVICE_RESET. Hung usually means a timeout; removed can also mean the card actually dropped off the bus, which points at power or the slot.

    reading release notes like its a horror novel

    to stop Windows Update replacing your chosen driver: run gpedit.msc (Pro) and enable Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Do not include drivers with Windows Updates. on Home, use System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware > Device Installation Settings > No. hope that helps :)

    hmmm do a clean install of the driver version u trust: download it from teh Dell support page, disconnect the network, boot to Safe Mode, run DDU, reboot, install. then test a tactical shooter for a few sessions before changing anything else.
