msfs-2020

Hi,

I’m dealing with this annoying issue on my laptop after running MSFS 2020 one time on a fresh load of my device. Say I put my laptop away for a few hours after a short flight, or even just to test a change in the sim, whether it be a setting, or an aircraft cfg edit or repaint adjustment - regardless of what it is, MSFS will not let me run the simulator a second time until I restart my machine. This is an odd error that I’ve only started to notice in the past month.

I keep my drivers and windows update as up to date as I possibly can. My settings are medium, and i have an RTX 3050 and i5-12500H CPU. I have never seen this error outside of the last month or two really, ever. MSFS 2020 has been incredibly reliable up until the last couple of weeks.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi @cessnaXLS and welcome to the forums !

Maybe worth to try what suggested here: DXGI ERROR DEVICE HUNG (0X887a0006) - #4 by JoaoRondelli

Huh, switching to DX 12 just might have worked this time. Last time it didn’t, lol.

I see why I was in DX11. DX12 was causing the crashes mid flight. Guess it’s a matter of what battle I’d rather pick. What’s the work around? Or is this just a bug Asobo has chosen not to deal with?

I´m still with that driver version untill now without any DXGI error. I´m afraid to try the newer ones and get the problem back.
