Not completely sure what causes the crashing but I’m pretty sure that it’s the drivers. I’m on 536.40 and it says “Your graphics device has encountered a problem and the application will exit. This may be due to graphics card overclocking, overheating or due to a driver fault”. Also my laptop is more than capable of running MSFS with i7-12700H and 3060. ALSO CHANGING TO DX11 DOESN’T HELP. Anyone else face the same issue as me?

Hi there. I’m on 536.40 for approx. two days. MSFS on DX11, desktop PC, i10700K @ 5GHz, 32GB RAM, MSI RTX 4070Ti, 1440p, most settings to “ultra”. Almost 10 hours of flying after updated to the newest nvidia driver. No crashes so far.

Just to confirm I am getting this since last update and nvidea driver update.
[ERROR Crash: msfs error: dxgi_error_device_hung (0x887a0006)]
Its random sometimes during flight 1 hour in, but every flight this weekend I am getting same error.

Did you do a clean driver install, and afterwards clear the Windows shader cache? i.e Select the option to do a clean install, don’t install Nvidia experience, and reboot. Then, clear the windows shader cache in storage settings.

Nope.
Windows 10 pro, MSI MEG Ai1300P, MSI PRO Z690 A DDR4, i9 13900K, Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC, 32GB ram
MSFS Ultra Settings, LOD 380/200, DX12 TAA + frame generation.
OK I have fixed it. I reinstalled drivers using GeForce Experience. Custom resinstall I didnt do via DDU I know that is the best way.
Rebooted and I have not had the same error - I hope this is useful for anyone and just to confirm this was the event v error everytime…phew what a day!

With this driver I experience graphical glitches when turning the cockpitview from left to right & v.v.
This error was still happening and I uninstalled latest GPU drivers using safe mode DDU. Still was happening.
Now I decided to switch to DX12 beta and now im still flying after more than 6 hours which is unusual as I would expect to have a CTD already.
Will continue to monitor - but this just proves that this is not my machine or GPU overheating etc…and that it is a direct result of the latest update of the sim.
It is easy to become superstitious, my stuttering has been solved with an update of MSFS today.
A month of good then a month of bad, it is my turn for a good run.

Just an FYI - The last official update was “City Update 3: Texas” released on 29 June. This update did not change the sim version number, which remains at 1.33.8.0.
That is interesting.
MSFS when I started it yesterday had a 1 gig download of some type. I didn’t pay attention as I thought the forums would be full of comments on this ‘update’.
A fix personally for me and my problems, what a great game.
Same issue with latest drivers, I would load in and after 5-10 seconds I get CTD, I did DDU and let Windows install a driver from January 2023 by default and that one works perfectly fine, as soon as I upgrade to latest one using even clean installation or DDU the sim constantly crashes.
I keep getting the GPU overheating error and CTD when I switch between TAA and DLSS.
Its not drivers, its not your RIG its the coding of this sim.
I will wait for next update of the sim - Im fed up of testing this setting and that I just want to enjoy a flight without crashing all the time.
Yes, it annoys me to no end too. For me it only happens under DX 12 because immediately when you start the sim CTD. Or at the latest in the menu. immediately smack CTD. Tried everything nothing. Can only run under DX11. Spent extra money on new hardware 5800x3d and RTX 4070TI OC. Because of DLSS3, very annoying. Am very frustrated. 
UPDATE!: I did a clean reinstall of Windows and the NVIDIA drivers. I don’t face any CTDs. I flew for like 5 hours without facing any issues. Not sure what caused the issue but it certainly seems to be fixed now.
Yes, I recently upgraded my graphics driver to 536.40 and as of about 2 days ago MSFS cannot work properly and neither can any of my other games, all being extremely laggy, having a maximum fps of 6 and crashing after minutes. Is there anyone that can suggest a way to fix this?
