Direct3D Device::Present Failed (Device removed): DXGI ERROR DEVICE HUNG
Is anyone else getting this error? It seems to be totally random. It can happens 2 minutes or 30 minutes into a game.

I have the same problem. I dropped my refresh rate to 60hx, and that helped a little, but I
m still getting the error later in the game.

What are your system specs

I tried this on GTX 580 card and it got me through the single player mode with very few crashes.

Hi all,

I was getting the same error, until I made a few changes.

1. Go to Options >> Video Options >> Optimal Video.
2. Go to Options >> Video Options >> Advanced >> Set refresh rate to 60Hz.
Also, in the same menu, set terrain detail to "OFF".

3. If you are running MSI Afterburner, make sure it is closed. I had to install MSI Afterburner due to the last COD development nightmare that came out last year.

(There were some overlclock settings in there that could get you around the black ops 2 freezes. Apparently, it's a liability for this game just by running it.)

4. Download and install a clean version of Direct X.

My game still crashed a few times, but nothing like before I made these changes.
The fact that minor teaks of the audio/visual settings can get you through the gaming experience, but still not achieve consistent results means that this game was not thoroughly tested by the developers. For a game of this magnitude to not be able to run on a high-end Nvidia card for 2 years in a row is unacceptable. I know that not all problems can be accounted for, but these show-stopping errors are not emblematic of a professional outfit.

I FOUND A FIX. ******************FIX*****************

Follow my steps and it should work, because I tried EVERYTHING and it's finally running perfectly.

1) Restart your computer.
2) Go to Command Prompt and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Then type in: bcdedit /set increaseuserva 4000. Then Restart
3) Download MSI Afterburner. Unlock voltage control in settings, and slightly increase, and then DECREASE (Yes, underclock) the other two. Restart.
4) Disable your antivirus completely. Avast I believe is the source of the problem.
5) Once you can get your game up and running to atleast the settings, change Ambient Occlusion to HBAO+, SYNC EVERY FRAME (Put the check), and change your monitor refresh rate to 60Hz if not already there. Then turn off terrain detail and anti aliasing completely.
6) While in game, ALT+TAB to go to task manager, and set the priority to NORMAL, not high.
7) A clean directx install never hurts.

I even reloaded my entire OS trying to fix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but once I did all of these steps, I no longer crash halfway through a round. I don't know which specific one fixed it, so do them all. You're welcome to anyone who finds this useful!!!:D

I haven't crashed yet so good luck to everyone who can't find a fix that works for them!

Are people sure that the fixes suggested are not just temporary? I find that if I do a "Verify integrity of game cache" via steam, the crashes stop for an hour or so, which could lead me to beleive that it was fixed until it once again started crashing.
