    long time lurker first post lol im 15 hours into a horror game and loving it, but now it crashes at teh second chapter loading screen. Every. Single. Time. This is all i get:

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    I reloaded older saves, rebooted and tried again. same result. I can't progress teh story at all lmao please tell me someone found a way through.

    ive already tried restarting the PC, updating the GPU driver and closing everything in the background. the crash happens at teh exact same second every time, like clockwork.

    ahh classic lower the graphics settigns temporarily, especially texture quality and resolution. Cutscenes and boss arenas often load higher-quality assets that push VRAM over the limit. hope that helps :)

    If it's a pre-rendered cutscene, missing media codecs can cause this on Windows N editions. Install the Media Feature Pack from Settings > Apps > Optional features if you're on an N edition.

    verify the game files through ur launcher. A single corrupted file used only by that cutscene or area would crash only there. worked for me anyway 🤷

    back up your save folder first... look in Documents\My Games, %APPDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA% under teh game or publisher name, copy it somewhere safe beofre trying any fix.

    disable overlays (Discord, teh launchers own overlay, recroding software) and any FPS limiters... some crash only during pre-rendered video cutscenes because of overlays hooking into playback. lmk how it goes
