A post was merged into an existing topic: ERROR Crash: msfs error: dxgi_error_device_hung (0x887a0006)

I saw a YT video today from Jonathan Beckett where it was mentioned the latest driver caused CTDs when used with DX12

Even the previous nvidia driver did that with dx12 for me with PCVR, lol! I’m just going to stick with 560.81 for now since it still seems to be working very well (dx11, hags = off) for PCVR. Like all nvidia drivers, it’s pretty easy to use ddu in safe mode to roll back if necessary.

Been working fine on my end using DX12 with an RTX 4090.

I got talked into uninstalling 556.12 and installing the latest (at the time) 560.94.
556.12 was working great on my 3090 Ti / DX12 / DLSS DLAA.
But I updated the driver as part of a troubleshooting procedure that ended up having nothing to do with the driver.

560.94 has been working beautifully, and I’ll stick with it until I see a need to move on.

I’ve been running DX12 in MSFS since it was added as a BETA. Perhaps just fortunate to not have had any issues running it so far.
I will say, that when i install a new driver, i always as a habit, enter SAFE mode, use DDU to uninstall the graphic driver. Reboot into windows, run a registry cleanup. Then i install the new driver only, without the nVidia Experience software.

So far chaps, all good.

After installing 561.09driver I haven’t noticed any issues with MSFS. I always uninstall the previous driver using DDU in Windows Safe Mode as this is the only proper way to do it.
Also, after installing the new driver I shut down the PC to ensure that the registry entries are properly saved.

I do exactly that. The only other thing I add is to clear the nVidia Shader Cache and disable it in the NVCP prior to the Safe Mode DDR uninstall.
Then I reset it to 100GB after the new driver is installed.

To clear the Shader Cache:

  1. Type ‘Disk Cleanup’ in Windows Search.
  2. Select ‘Drive C:’
  3. I select only these two options:

There are other shader caches you can (and should) clear after any sim SU. But the DirectX cache is enough for a new driver install.

For those who don’t know how to get into Safe Mode in Win11 (because they made it a lot more difficult…) OF course you can google it, but here it is. Be sure you don’t enable ‘Safe Mode with networking.’

  1. While holding down the Shift key, click Power → Restart
  2. Select Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart
  3. After the computer restarts, select option #4 to start in Safe Mode.

You don’t need registry cleaning software if you’ve uninstalled the Nvidia driver in Safe Mode using DDU. During the uninstallation, DDU also cleans most of the cache files – you can double-check just to be sure. Below is a copy-paste of my suggestion from another topic.

How to delete MSFS and Nvidia cache

1 Start your PC in safe mode

  • Click start
    1start
  • Click power icon

  • Press and hold left SHIFT key and click restart

  • Select Troubleshoot > advanced options > startup settings > restart
  • Select 4 - Enable safe mode

2 Click start and type

%localappdata%\D3DSCache

Press Enter
Delete all folders

3 Click start and type

%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Nvidia\PerDriverVersion\DXCache

Press enter
Delete all files

4 Type

%localappdata%\Nvidia\GLCache

Press enter
Delete all folders

5 type

%appdata%\NVIDIAComputeCache

Press enter
Delete all folders

6 type

%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes

Delete all files

Restart PC

7 Click “start” and type storage settings - press enter
8 Click temporary files > scroll down > check box DirectX Shader Cache
9 scroll up > click Remove Files

10 Restart PC.

11 Launch MSFS.
Delete and turn off rolling cache.

so far all good with this driver :+1:

I’m still on 556.12, all drivers released after cause my sim to freeze about 10/20 min after loading into a flight.

DX12, Frame Gen, 4090

Any thoughts?

Please treat this topic as information regarding the NVIDIA driver not as assistance for resolving issues with MSFS.

Anyway, turn off DX12 and FG. Also I recommend testing without any modifications and addons. I’m not expecting a reply from you in this topic as it’s a better idea for you to create a new topic and report the issue directly to NVIDIA.

S_OK issue still persists … so it is not random issue , it’s intentional …who knows why , maybe WIN11 users are ok , i’m still runing W10 .
FIX ? → Nvidia Control Panel > Microsoft Flight Simulator tab > VSYNC to ON/OFF , not FAST . Why ? I DONT KNOW :smiley: :smiley:
so suddenly this is the issue . Now everything is ok .

i7-10700K CPU, RTX 2080 super, performing flawlessly using version 561.90; no pauses, no stutters, no high speed fan surge…it’s a keeper :slightly_smiling_face:
Might be the sim update…not sure but I’ve also noticed how nice night flying is, much improved city lights and darkness more realistic.

Everything ok with this driver
i9-14900/4090/64GB Ram

you sweet genius, you saved me! thank you so much!
