Fix Apex Legends DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (Official) 

Nvidia Drivers: www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx DDU: www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html Let me know if this fix works for you!

Just started playing Apex for the first time earlier this week and within a few days I got this error. I tried updating drivers and messing with the Physx settings which I saw from a different troubleshoot guide. It sorta seemed to help as I went a few days without issue, but then it suddenly started happening again. Seeing that other people are still having this issue despite these "permanent fixes" is kinda disheartening seeing as I have really been getting into it and enjoying the game.

Still not fixed season 13

I'm still getting the same error, and constant crashing. The game spikes up to 100% use on my cpu, then my gpu, then crashes.

Thanks for this video. I've followed the procedure exactly as stated with the exception being that I based it on the latest Nvidia driver 461.92. When this driver was launched on 16th March, I started to experience the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG for the first time ever! Occurs when my P3Dv4.5HF3 program is loaded and wants to display the graphics... so terribly frustrating! Will repeat the procedure as outlined in the video and try an older driver so as to ascertain if Nvidia's latest driver is an issue for my Gigabyte Aorus RTX2080 Ti Xtreme 11G graphics card.

The closest thing the nvida drivers link allows me to download is 442.19 and 442.92, but I cannot get specifially 442.50. I tried following the instructions with the newest driver, 466.63, but it still did not work.

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much

Worked like a treat, thank you very much 👍🏼

This bs is still happening to me

i cant get the 442.50 driver, only the newest one

this still didnt work for me. Though why did you turn off the nvidia downloader at the end? I just accpeted it and downloaded it.

so... its the generic "make sure to upgrade your drivers" bs that the oficial support always tell you and never works.

what if i have intel hd? will the fix work (yes)

what app u use for the monitoring temps thingies

but what if i dont have a geforce GPU???

If i live in the asia which one should i download

Okay so I have the same issue but I have an amd gpu. Does this work for amd?

I overcloked my gpu can this be the issue ? Should I turn it down a bit ?

We need amd plz

Having this issue in 2022, should I still revert back to the really old drivers mentioned in this video or perform the same steps with the latest drivers?

Now it went black screen after title scene, and freeze. Can still use windows key but nothing else.

Thank you sir for posting this video, and helping people out

UnsupportedMonitorModesAllowed what is it ? can i delete from reg gpudrivers ?

what if i got redeon softwear?

can i download my drivers using nvidia geforce experience

what if i switched from amd to nvidia?

so has anyone found a fix for ASROCK 5500 or nah? i’m extremely new to pc and have no idea what i’m doing so anything will help

I literally have an amd gpu and im gettin this problem as soon as i open the game every fix says its for NVIDIA

It started happening again to me since the cyberpunk 2077 patch

I'm using the latest driver 512.95 and facing this issue constantly! My GPU is RTX 3070. Any solution other than downgrading the driver?

what about all my other games that work fine? idk about this.

doesnt work 2022

I have a 2080ti and have tried this, still have the same issue. The error seems to come only when streaming with OBS, maybe even something to do with (NVENC new)? I get the error less often when I stream Apex with X264.

I have a 2080 super and after doing this the problem still occurred.

Will this work in March 2021? My Apex is rendered unplayable because or this error.😩

so this didn't work for me but resetting my bios did. you physically have to open up your pc which can be a bit scary but just give how to reset bios a google search and follow along with the instructions if you're like me and have tried everything you can find without having any luck

This is a really good tutorial but, what actually fixed it for me was, adjusting the RAM Speed and timing. I applied the XMP profile and brought down the speed from 3600 to 3400 (in my case). I would like to add that troubleshooting is a complicated process of elimination. This video helped me in eliminating the possibility that I had a driver problem. This then lead me to try other things. I updated my BIOS, tested, reseted my BIOS and started testing by modifying my BIOS settings one by one until I found out what was causing the problem for me. Upon further research, I discovered that the XMP profile of my RAM was incompatible with the B450 AMD chipset. So I had to make the previously mentioned modifications to achieve stability. I hope this helps someone out there 😊

Only 445.75 driver is available. What should I do?

sadly i did this and had 5 hung errors appear in one game

what the cause of this error

still not fixed. 2023.

I got the same driver but I'm getting a device removed error now. What should I do?

I never had this error until season 14 started, now I have it all the time. Also I don’t even have a Nvidia GPU, I have an RX 5600. Tried updating windows, installing newest graphics drivers, reverting back to older drivers, verifying game files, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, etc.. Nothing works, still get the error all the time and I’ve lost probably 2,000RP from my games crashing.

No overclock and brand new pc with rtx 2060 and this is happening.

Not working.

(7 year old problem) I managed to fix the error from some games by adding the folder to exclusion to virus scans, changed to run as admin and change to run under windows 8. Seems pretty stable for 4.73. (4.52 didnt show any signs of crashing graphics quality isnt as great as what 4.73 provides)

Thank you it's still not fixed 9 months later

bro its changing constantly

i have done this 15 times doesnt work brotha

Still getting the error..... irritating af

Still crashing unfortunately

for some reason when launching in safe mode, windows is saying that “The file cannot be accessed by the system” Anyone find a work around for this issue?

Thus didn't work for me

this shits error when i overclock my gpu

Thank you ♥️ it worked for me.......

I just followed this guide and it did not work for me. i still got the same error 10 seconds after entering the main menu. im running a 1070 gpu and i5-6600k processor, and it did not work for me... BIG SAD

man i got current drivers...and its the only clean driver installed because this is brand new pc i built.This bull jive keeps happening..blows.

I did this and still getting the errors.. any other fixes?

Yeah, but what happens when you're not using Nvidia GPUs? asking for a friend ofcourse ;)

I have a 3080 vulcan and i still get this error in 2021

hey i alwys get this one 445.87

imagine a game and a software/hardware producer making a post teaching how to fix instead of them actually patching it.. Man what a fucking incompetence seriously. Shame on you Respawn!

if you like to grind & wanna play join our disocrd

Product Type: GeForce Product Series: GeForce 16 Series Product: GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit Download Type: Game Ready Driver (GRD) Language: English (US) Those are my specs and it dosent show the 442 number can anyone help?

For me it didn't work from the first try! Regardless, that I uninstalled my latest drivers and installed an older version. Somehow in the Nvidia control panel he was showing some drivers that were more recent than the ones I installed so it continued to crash. So I repeated the process again and this time its showing drivers that I actually installed 425.31! Now it's working like a charm. PS. I installed Assassins Creed Valhalla and in the benchmark he is still showing some other drivers from before. So my conclusion is that it might be that regardless of uninstalling drivers even with DDU, the system is still keeping some dll or something of previous drivers so it becomes too much for the system. I have MSI 1080, I7 4930K

Should i never upgrade to more recent drivers after ?

Which performance app is that above Afterburner?

Great explanation

Man i am getting the error instantly after booting the game will this help?

Its the season of crushes

AND AMD ?

I have a RTX2080 and this didn't fix the crashing.
