DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG after Season 13 update (ver 3.0.7.26)

[ChildishHambiino]

It's rubbish! Every other game is crashing for me now with the device hung error message and there are no fixes that work. Makes it unplayable!

So, if you're using steam, go to steam-->settings-->>downloads-->> and delete your download cache. Just played 6 in a row without any crashes so far.

Tried this but am still getting DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG.

I have these game breaking bugs as well, first the one OP said and now the one attached as a photo. I played on day 1 (3 dc in one match, finished second because of it) and just now i tried again with the new nvidia driver, same issue. Total crash, straight to desktop.

Update: The "steam-->settings-->>downloads-->> and delete your download cache" does seem to fix the issue for me but I need to do it every time I reboot my PC and only after I get a steam update for both Steamworks and Apex itself will the fix stay in place. I'm assuming this is a data cache issue of some sort.

Try turning off all of your overlays. I had to turn of NVIDIA and Discord overlay and haven't had a crash in 5 hours.

[Capt_Bullseye]

Got NVIDIA overlay turned off. This morning I had Discord running, Apex crashed, turned Discord off entirely went back into Apex and crashed again after a minute or so. Then deleted the download cache and haven't had a crash since.

Update: Ok for me it's definitely happening only when im playing mirage (and it happened all the time since i main him). No problems with the others, but im on Origin with no overlays except the Origin one

I am having the very same issue after Season 13 update. I have never had this error in the past. It is occurring almost every game.

I have tried to disable all the overlays, updated every driver and verified I have current Microsoft C++ redistributable

This is happening to me after Nvidia driver update. Running evga 3070 xc3
