    getting DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED in a flight sim, and now in a second game too, which makes me think it's not a game problem.

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    Timeline: installed Radeon Adrenalin Graphics Driver from AMD, crashes started the same night. i tried rolling back but now Windows Update keeps reinstalling smth 🤦 Im starting to feel like Im fighting my own PC. Whats the proper way to test this? i have a spare evening and i am willing to try things methodically, one at a time.

    ok so remove any GPU overclock and memory overclock. Device removed errors are very sensitive to VRAM instability. If u used a tuning tool, reset it to defaults and also check that no profile reapplies at startup.

    Do a clean install of the driver version you trust: downolad it from teh AMD support page, disconnect teh network, boot to Safe Mode, run DDU, reboot, install. Then test competitive strategy games for a few sessions before changing anything else. worked for me anyway 🤷

    oof look at the games own crash logs too. many engines write a log with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG vs DEVICE_REMOVED vs DEVICE_RESET. Hung usually means a tiemout; removed can also mean the card actually dropped off teh bus, which points at power or the slot.

    to stop Windows Update replacing ur 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.

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    hmmm DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED means the GPU sotpped responding and Windows reset it (TDR), so the game lost its D3D device. Check Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System for Event ID 4101 at teh crash time. If you see it, its a GPU/dirver reset, not a game file problem. fingers crossed 🤞
