This patch is crashing my PC. Please fix it. Can be anywhere in the game and then all the sudden the screen goes black with a window in the middle with this message:

Fatal error: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.
Failure Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG - The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application.

Then the app to report an error to AMD comes up.
Running AMD Adrenaline 25.9.1 and a 7900 XTX video card.

Has crashed like this four or five times tonight alone.

HELP please!

    Are your graphics drivers up to date?

    This may or may not be helpful to you but I had the same error like a year ago.

    I removed the card, carefully blew out the slot with some air, re-seated it, and the error never returned.

    Having the same issue for weeks now.
    GPU driver reinstalled.
    PhysX driver reinstalled.
    Eso reinstalled.
    Addons removed.

    Fresh PC restart after everystep, followed up by trying to run the game.
    The game won't run and result into crashing with the error message posted above.
    Also the launcher appears dozens of times in the taskmanager with the exact same process name as if executing the game would have the launcher multiply it's own process until it crashes.

    I did send in a ticket. They asked me for all kinds of stuff and closed the ticket before I could respond.

    Yup

    Did you do a clean install by removing all the old driver files and installing the new driver by scratch?
