I reinstalled a racing sim three times before realizing it was the GeForce Graphics Driver 313.26 for FreeBSD 64-bit

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 timeout; removed can also mean the card actually dropped off the bus, which points at power or the slot. good luck man!

    Every time Im in a racnig sim, somewhere around changing graphics settings, the 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 NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 313.26 for FreeBSD 64-bit . ive verified game files, lowered settings and clsoed every overlay i could find... still crashes, is the driver teh culprit, or did the update just expose a problem that was already there?

    nothing is more permanent than a temporary workaround

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