I’m getting graphics related crashes after the April hotfix (I have been spared from crashed before)
So far I’ve seen
D3D Error 8 Creating Backbuffer Failed
D3D Error 23 texture 2D Creation Failed
D3D Error 11 Vertexbuffer creation failed
They all happen relatively quickly after I spawn (30 s -> 1 min). Normally result in back screen (with sound) and sometimes I am allowed to generate a bug report I can submit. I’ve still been able to play (yesterday I could play after having issues for some time, then it just worked)
Noticable maybe Steam consistently crashes at the same time, I have have to restart Steam again.

first try to update the drivers for your video card, as this is related to that. The card itself should be fine though as I have the same one and it works well.
If you still have issues I would try to run the game in borderless windowed mode and see if you get a different result.
Thanks for the tip. I tried various settings without success before posting the problem. Today I had to take the monitor back for service, so it may have been a hardware related problem. Running another monitor now and not getting these problems, so fingers crossed.

Bought the game 3 days ago on steam with my partner and we have been playing togheter since then, but every so often my game crashes and this error message displays:
Error, D3D Device lost
Device removed, reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG:
Graphics device stopped resopnding. There might be an infinite loop in a GPU program.
I’ve tried the following:
Verify integrity of game files: no go
Run as admin: no go
disable Fullscreen Optimizations: no go
DSR off: no go
Nvidia control panel Manage 3D settings:
Program settings
Open GL rendering GPU, Geforce GTX 1080: no go
Power manager mode: maximal performance: no go
all of these trial and errors I found on various sites that was similar to my problems but no joy.
I’ve doubble checked that Nvidia drivers was up to date and DirectX and I have the last drivers of both, tried a clean installation on both drivers to be sure I had the last drivers and tried to run the game but no joy.
I can play for 5-10 min before it crash and sometimes 30min to 1.5 hours so the occurance is randomly.
I hope I can get som help because I love the consept of the game and the mechanics, and I will not give up hope on the game just because some bugs and crashes.
most times I run EVEGA precition X, and had a few tries with an without it all other games I run GPU clock offset +100 MHz and +200 MHz, just tried to down clock GPU clock offset 0 MHz and MEM clock -200 MHz and got 45 min play before I had to go. Gonna try it again now to see if I can get +2 hrs playtime, at least I know then if it is a software issue or hardware issue
Thanks for the reply
The game was running fine for months, today I had two crashes with the error message “D3D Device Error”.
Does anyone know what this means, why it suddenly happens and what to do about it ?
Description: Open the game and join my friend’s game through the steam client. I spawn at the first farm safehouse, while he is at the town safehouse (this is normal), but on the way to the town, I always crash, usually around 5ish minutes of playing. D3D Graphics error (view attached screenshot)
My graphics drivers are all up to date.
Steps To Reproduce: Launch game, join multiplayer session, play for around 5-10 minutes.
I updated my AMD Radeon drivers yesterday to their latest version and I now Generation Zero crashes immediately upon start up and gives me the following error window:
Fatal D3D Error
D3D Error 8: BACKBUFFER_CREATION_FAILED
Please ensure your GPU meet the minimum requirements and
that you have the latest graphics device drivers installed.
A workaround at the moment is verifying the integrity of the game cache. I did this both yesterday AND today. No files had to reacquired to downloaded. I’m not sure what why this works, but seems to keep the game playable until I restart my computer. Then I have to verify the cache again. Here are my graphics settings:
Screen Resolution: 2560x1440
Display Mode: Borderless Window
VSync: Off
Dynamic Resolution: Off
Dynamic Resolution Target FPS: 60
Shadow Quality - Texture Resolution: Ultra
Volume Fog Quality: High
Anisotropic Filtering: 16
SSAO: On
Motion Blur: Off
Screen Space Reflections: On
Global Illumination: On
Anti-Aliasing: FXAA + TAA
Chromatic Aberration: On
I thought about rolling back my drivers to the previous stable version, however, when I play the Division 2 the game or my drivers force HDR on in that game and I can’t turn it off which give the game a washed out look. Installing the new “optional” drivers I’m running now fixed that problem. Sadly, it created this new one possibly. Has anyone found a permanent fix for this or experienced this error?
