[FIXED] LowLevelFatalError. Constantly crashing. (Old post)
Not even a minute with my game loaded and as soon as I am ready to play... I get this crash to the desktop. This is what the crash log or dumps tell me " DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG"

From what I've seen, the game API and GPU lose communication, as result, this crash. I can run this game on 1080p totally fine, high preset 75fps... I have a radeon rx6600 + 16gb of system ram. This needs to be patched ASAP! my game is literally unplayable. Tried reinstalling, tried SSD nothing. it just doesn't want to work.

-----------------------------------

This is a very old post, turns out it was my GPU which was a defective unit, came with artifacts from the factory.

However, increasing virtual memory/paging file size is a potential solution.

As soon as the game updated to first patch, it turned into a nightmare - stuttering, crashes, framedrops, etc...

No need to change your system for a wannabe fix, it`s THE GAME that needs to be fixed by devs!

i`m currently at lvl 28 and gonna wait till an appropriate patch comes out :steamthumbsdown:

Some outer source forums suggest that, for memory error message you should go to System>Advanced system settings>select advanced TAB>select SETTINGS under PERFORMANCE>select ADVANCED tab>PROGRAMS>CHANGE>disable Auto manage paging file>select the drive on wich Hogwarts is installed on to>select CUSTOM> set initial size to your maximum RAM ( example - 12Gb = 12 000 ) and maximum size to 4x the initial size ( example - if you have 12k then max will be 48k )>hit SET>OK>APPLY>OK and then restart your system!

Apparently Hogwarts brutaly chunks through Vram memory, so this *fix* might help someone with memory error

I wish they would let us roll back to that first patch. They have the ability to offer old or future patches through the beta facilty.

The game is unplayable for me now after being fine (the usual bad optimization aside) that I have stopped playing until they fix it.

I have the same problem. But found a way to play. I have a new alienware m15 gamelaptop. I can't play if I use all cpu and gpu power. But when I limit the power with alienware control center by enableing to battery saver powerscheme I can play the game like nothing is wrong. I don't know why this works. But it does.

Anyone found a fix for this? Started happening to me after I upgraded from NVIDIA to AMD. CPU is AMD, too.

This was a very very old topic which I've solved now, it was my GPU which had artifacting problems, I've replaced it for the same model the warranty took care of it, it was the graphics card literally dying. As result the game crashed. Thanks for the info though.
