"The GPU device instance has been suspended."

[Ryunaki]

Running the game on a Founders 4090 + 7800X3D, native 4k no DLSS or frame gen but after around 90 to 150 minutes the game will crash with a "The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action." I've searched and found other users having the same issues but without any solid fix. Tried reinstalling the game, clean installing the latest NVIDIA drivers, updated BIOS, using FFXVIfix, nothing seems to work.

Downgrading drivers worked for me, specifically 561.09. Someone else started a different thread and their issue was fixed by downgrading drivers as well. I went from crashing every 2 hours to playing the remaining 30 hours without a single issue.

I was having this exact error too, locked fps to 120 in game settings as someone suggested in this thread, played already for 10 hours 0 crashes. Thanks everyone! My specs 7800x3d + RTX 4090 + DDR5 32gb ram + SSD.

In most games it's best practice to lock your fps.

I'm running a 4090 and a 7950X3D, running the game at the highest graphics settings and locked in at 240 fps, playing off an SSD with 64gp of ram, using NVidia driver "576.02".

I had been experiencing this crash repeatedly until I set my power options to "Ultimate Performance" (not sure if this is necessary), then when the game is launch I used Task Manager to set the "ffxvi.exe" process in the Details tab to "High Priority" and turned off "Core 0" in the affinity settings. Been playing for 3.5 hours now with no issues and no crashes (maxed out at 1 hour before these changes).

Hope that helps someone else.

Seems I also had to run Command Prompt as Administrator and use the command "sfc /scannow" to fix some corrupted files, then do a windows update triggered by the repair. Haven't had this issue against since.

SFC has been deprecated by almost 10 years, it does nothing, we have automatic CRC checks now. So that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
It's a running meme online that when you run it, it does absolutely nothing and somehow people still say "HURRRDURRR FIXED EVERYTHING".

IF you want SFC to actually DO ANYTHING, you need to run DISM first. Because if you don't run DISM first, it literally can't do ♥♥♥♥.

And even then, 99.99% of the time it's just by pure accident that an update or reboot fixed your issue.

All it did was tell you to update. That is what fixed it. An update. Because you haven't updated in a while, it suggest you should update. Which fixed your issue, because you haven't updated in a long time.

this surprisingly only happened to me twice while playing and it was about 25+ hours apart from one another. then again im just running it at 1080 on ultra and not 4K
