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.

Is there a fix for this? I had my hardware monitor software up and nothing was over 60% usage when it kicked me for ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. I'm running a 7700x CPU, 7900XTX GPU and 32gb of DDR5 RAM at 6000mHz

so when you alt tab out the usage and all that will drop drastically, atleast for my AMD card.....i've been able to catch it pushing my GPU's chip up to 102C with a constant 100% usage....i've dropped my settings to medium and its drops its temp from 102 to about a stable 80C... none the less theirs issues with the game that weren't there in the early access....whats bugging me is how fast they got out the first "hot patch" and now they're no where to be seen, no posts about this error. or warning that it can cause serious damage to hardware if you keep trying to play.

I mean I get what you're saying but having my hardware monitor on a second screen and seeing nothing is getting pushed hard by the game and then having it crash seems odd.

So I'll share how I fixed this. I was getting the DirectX error after playing for about an hour or so. It would usually start on a cutscene.

All I did was switch to 'Borderless Window' on display mode and lock my framerate to 60. I have not had the error since even left the game running for 24hrs. I'm running a brand new build not a week old.

AMD 7800x3d expo 6000 RAM enabled
7900xtx
Win 10 64 pro

And this seems to be a Larian error, nothing to do with GPU drivers or Chip makers

I'll definitely test this out and see if this fixes my issues

I got the new game ready driver for nvidia and was able to play for around 40 minutes, no crashes, kept an eye on memory and GPU usage both stayed normal and no temperature spikes

[JohnDhoe]

crashing too, keep getting this error: DXGI-ERROR-INVALID-CALL whenever i try to start the game. gtx940 here so i know it's the minimum requirement but any chance i can still get it to work?

This is a recently released driver that just showed up in the last hours if anyone is wondering. Was checking all day and just now checked and it's up for Nvidia specifically for Baldur's Gate 3 vs just a general update.

With the hotfix2 and new nvidia driver I can only use Vulcan. Dx11 doesn’t start game anymore :) I am glad! I can play!

Weird, can play the game when Steam is closed via the .exe... but cant launch via the launcher at all.. blah.

It is a total mess. For me, the launcher doesn’t start game, but exe start launcher which start the game ;) Magic!

Hoping this helps anyone that reads , i saw someone on another thread saying to go into your appdata>Larian Studios and delete every folder there WITH THE EXCEPTION of "Player Profiles" inside the BG3´s folder.
I was having constant crashes with both DX11 and Vulkan but after doing this i could play for a solid 2 hours without crashes , i will update later today after a play session.

Hope this helps
