This device (NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080 Ti) stopped working for the following reason:
DXGI-ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. Do you want to exit Prepar3D.

Never had this error in P3Dv4.5 with same computer and VR headset. Does seem to occur more after the first flight and less if I reset the computer between flights. Using Qualitywings 787 and Active sky beta P3Dv5

Any ideas how to stop this or is a new solution needed in a hotfix?

Have installed Win2004 this morning. Have used the MSI afterburner to reduce the power output to 90% and reduced some of my sliders both to try to stop the card crashing and to get smoother frame rates. No card crashing so far.
Have set FPS at 30. I'm hitting between 25 and 30 with RTX2080 TI. Still lots of VRAM to use on the card. Using 7gb of 11gb available.

I think Hotfix 2 is needed for P3Dv5 to get the graphics in generally more smooth and efficient in VR
Active sky is in Beta. Got#4 as the moment.
QW787 I'm sure will have a P3Dv5 update soon.

I'm using VR and this, I think, is in need of development. Still quite a bit of blurring in the white labels and lines in the cockpit. Have found 8xSSAA and texture at 1024x1024 is a good compromise. Especially considering the Oculus Rift S hardware needs an upgrade to achieve an HD resolution. I'm sure one day a well priced UHD VR set will be available. Then will be able to see the cockpit crystal clear without having to lean in.

Considering I was on both platforms I have attributed it to some new variables out there in Windows. W10 2004 has helped for sure, especially with VRAM optimization.

I really feel bad for people though because it's hard to figure out these problems. I've only been back in the flight sim world for about 1.5 years but it seems you get pointed in every direction when you have a question. Unless you're very computer savvy, it can be difficult to find solutions, or even understand the concepts.

Turning down settings absolutely helped. I have 11GB of VRAM on my GPU and using settings similar to V4, totally wiped out that memory.

I was getting .dll error crashes that I never saw in V4 at all. It was puzzling and now I have discovered that it probably due to various add ons doing their own thing. Easy for a developer to say "My product works as designed" but not so easy for a consumer who uses several of them and has to figure out on their own what's wrong.
