    I lost a ranked match to this today, so forgive the tone. a battle royale hard-freezes during loading into a match and then I get this:

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    It says the device was removed. Removed! lmao Two weeks ago I had zero crashes. In between, the only change was the Catalyst Display Driver update. My friends on the same game with different cards are fine 馃憤 What does this error actually mean and how do I prove whether it's the driver or my card?

    remove any GPU overclock and memory overclock. device removed errors are very sensitive to VRAM instability. if you used a tuning tool, reset it to defaults and also check that no profile reapplies at startup. hope that helps :)

    oof do a clean install of the driver version you trust: download it from the AMD support page, disconnect the network, boot to Safe Mode, run DDU, rbeoot, install. Then test a survival game for a few sessions before changing anything else.

    Sometimes it really is the game. Some engines are notorious for this on certain driver branches, sooo check the game's own known-issues page before tearing your system apart.
