CreateDirect3D11SurfaceFromDXGISurface crashes

[Itcharoo]

I have tried everything I can to resolve issue, even going as far to install fresh DCS and Windows 11 with new drivers etc. I'm encountering no issues when loading DCS or into a MP server or single player mission. It is normally ranging from starting in cold and dark A/C (bug persists multiple airframes) and switching on the battery. To a full start look down at a button or somewhere in the cockpit and then crashes.

Has anyone come across this and found a fix? A buddy I fly with had exact same issue and resolved by resetting his O/C on his card. (I have no O/C other than XMP enabled on ram!)

Another forum post mentioned about deleting the Saved games bits and re-populating. But after a full windows wipe and fresh DCS there isn't anything that can be left historically that would hinder.

Hi. Your log shows the "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" kind of crash. It's often caused by RAM overclocking (XMP), but not always.

You should first ensure XMP is not set to "Auto" (if it is, simply choose another XMP mode).

Still crashing? Then choose a lower XMP mode.

Still crashing? Then disable XMP and retry DCS.

I have been having similar crashes. As suggested by Flappie raised a support ticket. Support was great. I tried  tried everything suggested in the end the only thing that got me back to stable DCS was running my card in NVIDIA Debug mode. NVIDA Contol Panel -> Help-> then tick debug mode.

My understanding is this removes all Overclocking including "factory" overclocking and sets your card to its stock speeds.

This issue only started on my system with the introduction of the last OB. Mine is an old system and I think the last OB has just pushed my system to its limit. There does seem to be a spate of similar crashes from multiple users recently.

Thank you for your reply, I tried your suggestion and after disabling XMP, I got a lot further into the flight (around 5 mins) before getting same crash.

Thank you for your suggestion, I enabled Debug a tried but it failed as per usual.

Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall your graphics driver?

Yes and even went to extent of doing it the Display Driver Uninstaller way so nothing historic was messing like Windows update
