This so far has happened on steam with Halo MCC, Genesis Noir, and now Sword With Sauce.

On crash there's a popup window that says:
The UE4-SwordWithSauce2_4_0 Game has crashed and will close
followed with
LowLevelFatalError [File:unknown] [Line:328]
Direct3DDevice->CreateTexture2D(TextureDesc,SubResourceData,OutTexture2D) failed
at
D:\Build\++UE4\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Texture.cpp:481
with error E_INVALIDARG,
Size=33424x828x1
Format=DXGI_FORMAT_R32G8X24_TYPELESS(-x0000013), NumMips = 1, Flags=D3D11_BIND_DEPTH_STENCIL D3D11_BIND_SHADER)RESOURCE, Usage:0x0, CPUFlags:0x0, MiscFlags:0x0, Samplecount:0x1, SampleQuality:0x0, SubresPtr:0x0000000000, SubresPitch:0, SubresSlicePitch:0
That was manually transcribed, so there might be some typos. But the error message on MCC and Genesis Noir were practically the same, something about the Direct3DDevice

Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
