DirectX crash

[Umberjack]

"The game has encountered an unrecoverable DirectX error and will shut down". This happens 100% of the time after about an hour of play.

I'm not running any recording software, my windows is updated, my graphics driver is updated, and no other games I have played do this.

Any ideas? Maybe a multi-threading issue? If so, can it be disabled like in Civ 6 ini file? CPU temp is also fine.

crashed 4 times in the last 2 hours...

+1 same problem. I cant get through character creation without crash. I dont have the best system, but its certainly not the worst.
i7-8700k
Asus rtx 2080-ti
32gb ram

can any of you tell me if you're getting this error and have the game installed on an old HDD(coz its seeming like everyones using SSD now)

[Dupue]

I am using a SSD. I never installed the Beta. I dont crash with any other games. First crash came after about 1 hour of play. I created a new character and now I can't get past character creation.

This helped me so I don't know if it will help others. I did what Reinhard said.

Appdata> delete Lauren studio and you can play the game after

I deleted the folder (which includes the game and launcher appdata), restarted my PC since I had flickering issues after crashing, then opened the launcher. Logged back in, chose Vulkan instead of DX11, and started it. Let it sit in the character screen messing around a bit and I didn't crash. Playing good after that.

7900XTX is what I have.

[BloodShed]

same. about to refund until fixed.

[Knightmr]

7900xtx issues here too. really glad AMD is always on top of their drivers....

Check your memory settings. Choose default settings in your bios. I had 6 chrashes in a hour. After setting my memory on default settings, all my problems are gone and I played for hours totally stable.

+1 AMD ryzen 7900 - 64 ddr5 - radeon 5700 first day good, with this update my game doesn't work the gpu always overheats

[christopher024]

I lock the frame rate to 60 and chose Vulkan instead of DX11 for starting the game, runs couple of hours no problems.

[Mongo]

I get the error for DX or Vulkan. Seems once again a game is released on Steam that isn't ready.

Worked for me, too.

Everyone with these issues, try disabling Smart Access Memory or Resizable BAR via BIOS or your GPU software.

Also, delete the Larian Studios folder in \AppData\Local for good measure.

This seems to have resolved my dxgi device removed error crashing via DX11, and is allowing Vulkan to work without crashes or as many flickering textures.
