Optional Tip: Some users report that rolling back to a driver from a few months prior yields better stability for DX11 titles. 7. Limit FPS in GPU Control Panel
and integrated GPUs, where level loading consistently triggers the crash. TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery)
Anti-aliasing is the #1 trigger for this error in DMC4:SE.
4. Increase Windows TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) Value
The "DXGI Error: Device Removed" error typically occurs when the graphics device (GPU) encounters a problem and is removed from the system. DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure) is a part of DirectX that handles graphics rendering. When the GPU encounters an issue, DXGI notifies the game, resulting in the "Device Removed" error. This error can manifest due to various reasons, including:
Double-click it, set the base to , and set the value to 8 or 10 . Restart your computer. 4. Limit Game FPS (Frames Per Second)
