Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED

Hi,
I bought this game and was not able to play it at all. The problem is, that game was crashing without any messages.

After trying to troubleshoot (clean driver installations, even putting my computer back to factory-image etc.) and putting more than 15 hours into this, I kind of give up.

I managed to get so far, that I finally get an error message, when the crash happens.

I know this is related to the DirectX, but reinstalling it wont help. And yes, the graphics driver are up-to-date and freshly installed with a full registry cleanup etc.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do.

I have Windows 10 64bit
My spec is an Alienware 17 R4, which I bought roughly 18 month ago. So it contains a gforce 980M and an i7 processor with 16 GB RAM

I'm having the same problem, also with a notebook card (880m). No current solution to the problem, I've tried a ton of things, but am almost certain at this point it's on Larians end.

If anyone else is having this issue, mikedeezy found a solution, which I really feel is the only solution and fixed my problem after much turmoil.

The gist of the solution was to:
- Download and use MSI Afterburner (here: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm) and lower both the "Core Clock" and "Memory Clock" options by around 100 (so they say -100). Apply and close.

Hi,
so this worked for one session, where I was able to play 3-4 hours without any crash.

Today I started the game and the error is back online.

I am desperate :(

Wow, is underclocking my laptop's video card the only fix for this error? I can usually play for 30 - 60 minutes before it bites me. I really don't think this is a hardware or DirectX problem - no other game does this.

I could tolerate this if MSI Afterburner gave the option to automatically apply the underclock to *only* DOS2, but I don't want to give up performance in other games. After all, FPS aren't really critical in a tactical RPG like this, though no one wants a slide show.

My laptop is Dell with a GTX 1050 Ti if that makes a difference.
