DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

[brianv]

Thanks for quick feedback. I tried also to dial down my graphics specs... low shadow quality, no water reflections, ... and this takes the load down to about 2.3 / 3.4 GPU so it might just be that my PC and 980 GTX is starting to show its age. This will hopefully do for now.

i did all that too, made no difference.

Currently (after the fix) I'm running scenery and complexity at max, Vsync at 70, FXAA, 4xMultisampling but no autogen,
Actually, for my 320 cockpit, this is fine as the airports and fixed scenery (Orbx) look pretty good anyway.

One thing that really improved performance (apropos to nothing in this thread) was turning off hyperthreading.

To the reply to my post - this also happens on other games too. Both Evolve and Athena have reported the same problems.

For some people downgrading the drivers worked but this isn't easy for me as my sim is not internet-connected and is an hours drive away.

Team,

I purchased P3D 5 yesterday and consistently and reproduce-able get the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.

I start P3D at default settings on a cleanly started PC in the default Scenario F35-A @ KRND.

After start I go View --> New view --> Spot and the Sim immediately crashes with this error.
Also if I go to Views --> View Management --> Manage Cameras the SIM crashes.

So for now P3D 5 is unusable for me, happy to provide any details or log/debug-files if it helps. Hope the root-cause can be found quickly.

PC Details:
- MB: Asrock X570 STEEL LEGEND
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- RAM: 32GB DDR4
- GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT PULSE
- GPU drivers, latest Radeon drivers (20.4.2)

Best regards,

Johan

PS. I run other CPU/GPU intensive programs & games and system is stable as a rock with those.

i seeem to be able to trigger this error by switching from NON sli to SLI and if SLI enabled select framerendering 1 or 2

seems indeed related to the refresh issue, however rather strange that P3dv4.5 HF3 did not have any SLI related issues and P3dv5 does not seem to support SLI at all

I have a Super2070 in sli setup just for this sim, so it would be nice to have it fixed

best regards

I get this in my event viewer

application prepar3d.exe has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware

I figured out how to fix this. The issue is with windows. Check to see if you have the Windows 10 2004 update. This update addresses Vram DX12 issues. I installed this update and P3D V5 no longer crashes with that error.

My system: Alienware area 51-R4 Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-7900X CPU @ 3.30GHz (20 CPUs), ~3.3GHz Memory: 32768MB RAM
Graphics:Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 x 2 Display Memory: 24311 MB
Dedicated Memory: 7988 MB
Shared Memory: 16323 MB
Os Windows home version 2004
I stil got this Error, and found that you are more likely to get this error the more VRam used i.e. the higher you have the settings.
The other day a Dell Technician checked all my computer and run various tests on the graphic cards, the whole system is 100% and the benchmarks on the GTX 1080 x 2 were between the top 3-4 places.(12643)Unigine 2 Superposition Benchmark.
I mentioned this error, He seems to think it's a possible bug in DX12, and or the way it's configured within the flightsim.
One other thing I don't think Prepar3D V 5 is useing SLI . If shift Z is used within the flightsim it only shows the one GTX 1080 VRam used for one card.

[JorgenSA]

@Philinfinity,

As I read your post, you have 2 GTX 1080 graphics cards, each with 11 GB of VRAM. Seen from P3D at least, this does not add up to P3D seeing 22 GB of VRAM, it will only see 11 GB. And you are correct in that P3D does noy use SLI very well, if at all (it's been a long time since someone posted about SLI).

Your issue may be in your memory configuration - you say you have almost 8 GB of dedicated memory and 16 GB of shared memory. Is this the VRAM? And, what is the dedicated memory dedicated to, and what is the shared memory shared with?

Since you mention DX12, I would assume you have P3D v. 5. For DX12 issues it is imperative you have the HF2 version of v. 5, and also that you have the latest graphics drivers.

I found this some time ago and it has resolved any DXGI errors. Been doing this for some time now.
It seems there are some timing issues between some of the software when running higher settings.

Worth a try.

@ Johan,
"After start I go View --> New view --> Spot and the Sim immediately crashes with this error."

New view, Outside, Spot
I use this daily / often when testing , never a problem on my setup with various P3D versions past and present.

"Also if I go to Views --> View Management --> Manage Cameras the SIM crashes."
I never use this but I tested it and had no problems.

Which WIN10 version are you using?

I am using:
Nvidia RTX2080Ti 11GB , driver 451.67

I also have this issue although it comes and goes and it’s mainly at NIGHT... It’s driving me nuts because I have a brand new build PC specifically for P3D V5 and I can’t fly at night yet. I believe it’s relating to dynamic lighting at airports and on addon aircraft. It happens 9/10 times at night.

I got my new PC on 7/20 and yes I’ve been thru the debugging steps of disabling all my addons (said addons are WHY I went with P3D in the first place-for study level addons)
-I’ve tweaked the NVIDIA P3D 3D application settings to offload some work to the card etc.
-I’ve updated NVIDIA drivers (451.67 iirc-clean install but not with “DDU”)
-I’ve updated windows (2004)
-I’ve tried the TDR delay at 0 along with the .cfg tweak (that didn’t work-just stopped the DXGI from popping up and sent P3D straight CTD)


-It has happened on the default flight at night-not as much as in addons, but it has happened (generally on view switch)
-I uninstalled my FSLabs A320 (the main reason I built my machine) completed a night flight from PHNL-KLAX on vatsim in the Aerosoft A330 (granted its dynamic lighting is lower than many others but I digress)
-I then reinstalled FSLabs the next day (yesterday) and was able to set the sim from daytime to night time and back (mid flight I might add) with EA on ultra and do a SID->Approach in some nasty thunderstorm cells-no DXGI
-I tried the PMDG 744 tutorial flight KDEN-KSFO and had a gorgeous flight, but when I got to 10K’ on the arrival RIGHT at sunset-I turned on landing lights and BAM-DXGI error device hung.
-Attempted to setup at system time (night) at KSFO to attempt circuits, soon as I turned landing lights on-bam DXGI

About to try today with dynamic lighting off (which lets be honest- ruins the experience)

My system specs:
P3D V5HF2
i7 10700K HT off
EVGA 2080S 8GB
32GB RAM @ 3200mhz
1TB M.2 NVMe
27” Predator XB1 4K monitor (running P3D @ 1440p)

This system handles it fine during the day, I’ve even been able to fly around FlyTampa KLAS AT NIGHT in the FSL A320 with everything turned up and getting 20-50fps.

Disabling all my addons isn’t the right fix because apparently there’s something somewhere within P3D causing these “long frames” Apparently as it relates to dynamic lighting

Ross,

I seen and replied to your post on PMDG forum also.


I am reading/doing the PMDG747 KDEN-KSFO tutor flight. Just daytime departures at present.
I plan on trying some dusk / night departures and see what happens.

Are all your failures when using P3Dv5HF2 EA (beta)?


Are you running MSI afterburner during any your failed (DXGI) flights?

Is your graphics card overclocked?


Are you using Riva Tuner Statistics Server or RTSS ?

Are you using a weather program ?

Are you using HDR lighting?

Are you using Time Preview ?

Do you use the P3Dv5 Flashlight to look around the cockpit at nighttime?

Are you using a weather program ? ASP3D Beta 8 (crashes w and without this)

Are you using HDR lighting? Enable HDR is on yes

Are you using Time Preview ? Not really-just that one time I swapped night to day

Do you use the P3Dv5 Flashlight to look around the cockpit at nighttime? Not at all

Replied over there to you but I see you’ve got additional questions here. I’ll post in what I wrote over there and bold the new questions here in the quote

This is my response from the PMDG forum

-My DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG failures have been a constant from day one of my PC arriving-I have P3D HF2 and I was on 1909 windows until Monday (didn’t realize I didn’t have 2004-my PC shipped on 7/17)

-The DXGI errors have been both with and without EA on

-Out of the box from day one I was getting DXGI GPI hang errors day/night, I turned my settings down from 4K to 1440p then the DXGI only began to happen at dusk/night

-EA was originally disabled when I got the majority of these errors, I turned it on yesterday and flew around offline at FT KBOS AT NIGHT without issue in an Airbus addon

-Later last night I was doing the PMDG 744 KDEN-KSFO tutorial flight I got a DXGI hang when I turned my landing lights on-it was JUST at sunset so dusk/night-I could see the sun barely peeking over the ocean as I descended thru 10K

-I then reloaded P3D, setup at KSFO 28L in the PMDG 747, soon as I turn on landing lights, bang DXGI-tried this twice and gave up for the night

-I downloaded and “clean installed” the latest nvidia driver for my card from EVGA/NVIDIA-some folks said this fixed the DXGI issue for them

-My graphics card is not overclocked (to my knowledge I will check w my PC guys)

-I’ve disabled MSI afterburner as well as used it during flights (just running in background-not really “using” it-it’s just there)

I’m currently flying daytime on vatsim on the PMDG 737 tutorial PDX-SFO (flightbeam) and will attempt to continue to PHNL for part two of the tutorial. EA is on at the moment and *knocks on wood* I’ll hopefully continue to fly.

-Landed at KSFO no issues w 737ngxu
All daytime tho

I’ve answered you in bold above-I want to know why systems with 2070 Supers can run higher settings and not have DXGI

I have some things offloaded to the nvidia 3D application settings which seemed to help stabilize things. I’m at my wits end this must be something small somewhere. I did two flights including a 5 hour daytime flight ksfo-phnl on vatsim yesterday no problems. It was even dusk when I landed. I believe I have dynamic lights off at the moment. I’ve tweaked so many things in P3D settings turning down/up a little here and there I can’t keep track
