DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with E_OUTOFMEMORY BF4

[motorboatinking]

I updated from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 yesterday. Now when I play BF4, I get this error.



I have 2 GTX 970's running in SLI. I tried reinstalling DirectX, but I don't know what to do from here. Any suggestions? Thanks

Something seems to be using all of your GPU's RAM. Try reinstalling their drivers?

 

[motorboatinking]

I did some more googling, and a lot of people who have SLI setups are having this problem playing any battlefield games. I disabled SLI and am playing right now to see if it fixed it.

I've never used SLI myself so I can't help you in that respect, it's probably something you'll have to wait for Nvidia to release a patch for.

 

[motorboatinking]

I'm going to try running the game in compatibility mode and see if that works with SLI enabled. I don't know what running in compatibility changes though. If it is a driver issue I don't see that working.

 

[motorboatinking]

In case anyone else has this problem, disabling SLI works for now.

I have 980 SLI. Just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and Im having the same exact error. Guess well wait for an update.

That's all you can do at this point, wait until drivers play catch up with Windows 10.

Same here - upgraded to Windows 10 Enterprise x64 edition and same thing. Disabling SLI stops the error.
I'm running duals GTX 970s from EVGA.

Same here, same exact problem, can't even play 2 games in a row without crashing. And no, disabling SLI and cutting FPS in half is not a solution, even temporary. Guess I'll have to wait for new drivers (tried older ones, same thing).

 

[Captain Nothing]

same problem directx crashing in BF4
2 x 7950 in Xfire.

Disable Xfire and it works again.

So, not just an nVidea problem.

 

[kgoodrum281]

Same problem, SLI 760s. Just upgraded to Win 10 Pro.

Contacted Nvidia and EA via live chat. No help as I expected. I submitted a ticket to Nvidia as well.

 

[Captain Nothing]

I have set my video quality down from ultra to high, left Xfire on, and disabled the "enableulps" in the registry. It now works ok.

 

[kgoodrum281]

Still no resolution. I've jumped through Nvidia's hoops in regards to tests to run and other things to perform, same for EA's. Very frustrating.

I've reinstalled/repaired .NET / DirectX, DDU + Nvidia drivers reinstall, bumped down in-game graphic settings, let Geforce Experience optimize the settings, performed a repair on BF4 but it also happens with Battlefield Hardline, I've ran a graphics card test per Nvidia. I'm sure there are some other things I'm forgetting to list.

So guys, my case got escalated to tier 2 with Nvidia. I got this response today:

Hi Kyle,

The case was escalated to me. We have received reports of this issue and we've been able to replicate the failure in our lab. Our development team is working on this issue and we hope to provide a fix in future driver update soon. I will notify you as soon as a driver with the fix is available so you can verify.

Best regards,
Ray

Guys, they issued a driver this morning

http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3738

They said to do a custom/clean install.

"Hi Kyle,

We just released a new hotfix driver that should help with the BF4 DX error in SLI mode. If you haven't already updated then please give this new driver a try and see if that helps. You can download the new driver here: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3738. When installing the new driver please select the "Custom (Advanced)" install option and then put a checkmark in the "Perform clean install" option. This will help insure a clean install.

Best regards,
Ray"

I attempted the clean install with the hotfix driver, and after about 10 minutes in BF4 received the same
error as before. Oh well.

 

[kgoodrum281]

That stinks. I've played for a little over 2 hours on BF4 and Hardline, haven't had the crash. It usually occurred within the first 15mins.

 

[BIG_SQUEEZE88]

I was getting the same "OUTOFMEMORY" error with Driver version (355.60).
After doing the clean hotfix install (355.80) I needed to re-enable SLI in the control panel and I did a reboot to be safe.
Now when I launch BF4 it completely crashes the PC and reboots after 5 minutes of game-play.

My GPU is two Asus OC 780 in SLI.

This is definitely the fix. None of this BS that you see on youtube or anywhere else:
