GRAPHICS_DEVICE_REMOVED Error after some Matches

In some matches I get the error message "GRAPHICS_DEVICE_REMOVED: The GPU is not responding to any more commands. This is probably because an invalid command was passed by the calling application." These usually appear at the end of the match, such as just now after the end of the show case match between Eddie and Rey Mysterio at Halloween Havoc. Is there a fix for this?

According to the comment by TheWhaler95, he was able to get around the error by using a directx12 to Vulkan wrapper.
So copy the following 2 files into your WWE 2k22 directory.
First, extract and copy d3d12.dll from the vkd3d-proton release[github.com]
Then extract and copy dxgi.dll from dxvk release dxvk release[github.com]

Obviously, I can't guarantee it, but this might fix the issue for you guys.

Edit: I have been able to play all the showcase matches and a lot of multi-man matches after this without a single crash without resorting to compromises like playing on windowed mode or using decreasing graphics settings (this is on a gtx 970 and i5 ). Haven't tried Universe mode or Myrise yet.

Hey WWE 2K Community,

I have now tested the different solutions and noticed that the DLL files from @hash283 work, but the ones mentioned by @Seddi do not. Where is the difference? I do not know.

So on my GTX 970 the game runs completely without crashes, only when tabbing out and back in, it comes to crashes from time to time, so just stay in the game :D

The correct DLL files that work are from the vkd3d-proton release and the dxvk release. These are available on Github at the following link:

https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/releases
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases

For the VKD3D .tar.zst file you need 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org) plus the Modern7zip plugin (https://www.tc4shell.com/en/7zip/modern7z/) to unzip it.
Alternatively I have uploaded the correct files together in one zip on GoFile:

With kind regards,

Thank you so much to both of you geniuses! This has fixed all crashing issues for me and any time the game hitches for a second like it is going to crash, it doesn't now! I can finally run this game as it was meant to be.

It happened to me after I spent an hour making a CAW. Port seems really sloppy if it can't account for your hardware. Waiting for patches.

Mainboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC
Prozessor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6x 3.70GHz
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 Desktop Gaming RAM (Black)
GPU: GeForce GTX 970

Normally it shouldn't be my Hardware... Got this problem again in the Showcase Mode.

I keep getting this Error in almost every Showcase Match...

Tried so far:
Lowering Graphic Settings, Using WIndow Mode, Setting my Monitor to 60 Hz from 144 Hz, Setting High Performance Nvidia Graphics in nVidia Graphic Panel, switching to a lower Resolution... nothing helps.

Have you tried checking if your drivers need updating?

This can sometimes happen if you are using an XMP profile for your RAM, but as you are using DDR4 it may not be that, lots of users like myself using DDR5 have had similar issues with XMP. Try lowering the frequency in the xmp profile see if that helps.

Help!!! Bought the game and downloaded it and it’s crashing on startup. I think It’s not compatible. My laptop is running a basic GTX-1050 and I just saw the min was changed to 1060. Is there anyway around this? I bought the $120 edition and would be crushed if I wasted that money. Thanks!

Id imagine as long as you didnt play the game for two hours, and if its crashing on startup this should be the case, you will get a steam refund no problem. In my experience, as long as youre under 2 hours you can refund for any reason.

But I do not know of a work around for minimum system requirements no

You're probably running out of Video Memory. A 970 I believe only has 4 gigs (3.5GB actually using)

Put the Texture Quality on the lowest possible setting and see if it crashes. The higher settings probably require 5+ gigs at least.

Also, just because the game starts off running at a solid frame rate doesn't mean you're not still running out of VRAM eventually. Because your game is running for a while and then crashes, this is the symptom of 'not enough VRAM'.

the specs say 4GB low and 6GB high, my 980ti has 6GB and i still get this exact same issue running everything as low as i can get it. There seems to be a bigger problem than just not enough VRAM if the specs are right.

I've already tried this, even with lower Resolutions and so on, this is definitely a Bug which goes around Reddit, Twitter and other Socials actually, so I'm definitely not alone with this problem.
