Error: 0x887A0005 - 'REMOVED' Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost

Hey people,

I've been struggling with random crashes for a while now. Even with dx11 only. Now I have disabled any MSI profile for now so I play without undervolting or overclocking (btw, no matter which other game or benchmark - it's stable, but I've read from Team 17's old posts that this may be connected to the issue). I have not tested a round yet without any of the settings but this will be done shortly and I hope it will work out.

I play in windowed fullscreen with nvidia DSR (I change my monitors resolution to 1440p on startup). The game also crashed in exclusive fullscreen. Since the game is 100% stable with DSR I doubt that this is the issue. It also crashed without once.

Before I assembled my new system I completely uninstalled my old drivers with DDU btw.

Is there something else I can do rn? So far I am in the process of troubleshooting, hoping that I'll be able to find a solution. Since I can see the error message now I doubt that it has to do anything with my CPU.

My setup btw:

-win10
-16gb 3200 DDR4 RAM
-3070 ti
-Ryzen 5800x3d
-game runs on my SSD

Thanks for any help!

any problem that creates that kind of error code, IS a windows error.
can be the drivers (update), can be a broken file of your game (reinstall) but the code is a windows error code ^^

type it into your browser and find a post with solved. most are specific for a certain game but they also often dissmiss the fact, that its a windows code and has usualy nothing to do with the game itself!

sry that you have run into such, but be asure - you are not alone XD ;)

but why does it only happen with HLL specifically? I have reinstalled the game and completely deleted every setting in appdata already.
Every other unreal engine game runs fine, no crashes.

thats out of my knowledge, i am just a user.

but the code is a windows error, i searched and found several movie and picture programms having trouble with that, also cod mw2.
then someone said turning off nvidia display has helped...
others i havent read yet.

i didnt look further, if there is an explanation of a professional source, thats what you have to do, because i dont have your rig or live in your house (internet)

many modern programms have certain scripts that can conflict sometimes, and sometime not. we have to many variables (hard and software combinations) to have a simple answer. sry
