DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

I wonder about the discrepancy - I have it only in the filestore, not in system32/drivers (but will check again, maybe search just didn't find it.
Windows 10 on your side?

Just for info.

I do not get the Hung error.
I use Win7-64
I have the file only in system32/drivers and the vile version matches my current version (Nvidia 378.66)
File is not in filestore. Will have to search again here.

Note:
When I use the Start / Search box, Windows does not find the file(s) on my PC .. I had to manually look in folders.
Too many folders in filestore to manually inspect.
I will change my search options and check again.

I did another search:
My results were like reported by Hanse Tue, 28 Feb 2017, 3:48


I have only one file in system32/drivers folder and the file version matches my current version (Nvidia 378.66)

I found several files in the filestore dated from 2009 to 2017.

Weird.
I searched with both Windows Explorer and Total Commander, both searching for hidden/system files, and the only file that was found was in:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_desktop_ref4i.inf_amd64_6d7341131fca00bc

I really have no file in c:\windows\system32\drivers, I looked manually!

I am using Windows 10. You too?

OK, that might explain a difference with the driver.

I disabled FSLabs Spotlight.dll as well, and no more "Device_Hung"
Problem solved, but without Spotlight

Since my last post

In my case I solved the problem by the following actions:
- Uninstalled P3D 3.4.22 19868 (HF3)
- Unistalled Nvidia latest driver 378.49
- Reboot, clean registry
- Installed Nvidia driver 376.33 (only the graphics driver, nothing else)
- Installed P3D 3.4.9 Client & Content

I have
- reinstalled P3D 3.4.22 19868 (HF3) [Client, Content, SDK]
- reinstalled FSUIPC
- Kept Nvidia driver 376.33
- followed the AVSIM P3D set up guide (including the NVidia Inspector settings)

and I have not had DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG crash.

I have FSLSpotlights installed and they never caused an issue.

I went into dll.xml last night and disabled everything pertaining to spotlights or FSL. The sim ran fine for 3 shorter flights and a long haul in the PMDG 747 v3. Thinking this was no longer an issue I decided to start a flight again tonight after playing Battlefield 1. Same error popped up again and again. Every time I tried to load my flight I'd get it. This getting extremely frustrating. My guess is it's P3D 3.4 hotfix 3. I never saw this happening til that update. The error shows up even when my GPU is at stock frequency and I've never seen this error anywhere else. Any more news/suggestions?

Hello,
Same story here. For the first time ever I have started to experience the "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" starting about 10 days ago. The only sure thing in my case is that it happens at random. It can happen at the end of a four hour flight, in the middle, or soon after starting PD3. I'll be able to finish a long flight without any problems in one case and not make it out of the gate in the next. I'll try reverting back to HF2 and older Nvidia drivers and see what happens.

Hi,

since a couple of weeks I also experienced this "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" problem. I do not know exactly since when this started but based on another reason I now made a full clean new install of P3D v3.4.22.19868. Previously (since v3.0) I allways just updated the client but now I made a complete new install and all my addons from scratch. And the problem since then never occured again...... I am also using FSL Spotlight with my Aerosoft Airbus and a lot of additional addons like the complete range of ORBX-products and many addon airports..... So I believe the problem in my case is connected to just updating only allways the "Client". I just want to let you guys know.

I have a GTX 1060 6GB and have this problem constantly now. I am struggling to even get a flight to work as we speak. I have changed nothing either. Starting to think its a hardware problem

Are you overclocking?

I have had an overclock on for the past couple months, stable in FurMark. I have finally been able to get it to work after a few hours and my only solution has been to under clock the card all the way down as far as Afterburner allows. using the latest drivers now.
