Directx Function Error BF6 | Quick Fixes to Try - Tech Support and Activation Help

A DirectX function error, particularly one related to the BF6 beta, is a common issue that often points to a problem with your graphics drivers, system stability, or game-specific files.

The error message “GetDeviceRemovedReason failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG” is a key indicator that the GPU has become unresponsive to commands, which usually means the graphics driver has crashed.

Here are some quick fixes to try:

Update Your Graphics Drivers

This is the most common and often most effective solution. An outdated or corrupt graphics driver is a frequent cause of DirectX errors.

For NVIDIA: Use the NVIDIA app to check for and install the latest drivers.
For AMD: Use the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition to update your drivers.
If you’re already on the latest driver, try performing a clean installation. This involves completely uninstalling the current driver before installing the new one.

Disable Overlays and Overclocking Software

Third-party applications that run overlays or overclock your hardware can interfere with games and lead to crashes.

Disable Overlays: Turn off overlays from programs like Steam, Discord, and the NVIDIA app.
Close Overclocking Software: Shut down applications like MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner before launching the game.
Set to Default: If you have overclocked your CPU or GPU, set the clocks to their default values. The same applies if you have undervolted your computer; remove the undervolt.

Delete Game-Specific Files

Corrupted game configuration files can also cause these errors.

Go to your Documents folder and delete the Battlefield 2042 folder. This will reset your game settings to default and may resolve the issue.

Adjust In-Game Settings and Launch Options

If you can get into the game, try switching to Windowed Mode and lowering the graphics settings, especially the Mesh Quality.
Some users have found success by forcing the game to run on DirectX 11. You can do this by adding -dx11 to the game’s launch options in the EA app or Steam.
Consider disabling Vertical Sync (VSync) if it’s on, and vice versa if it’s off.

Other Advanced Troubleshooting Steps

Increase Virtual Memory: This can help with crashes caused by memory leaks. You can adjust this in your Windows System Settings.
Disable Resizable BAR (ReBAR): Some users have reported that disabling Resizable BAR in their BIOS and with a utility like Nvidia Profile Inspector has solved their DirectX errors, particularly with RTX 30-series cards.
Check for Windows Updates: Ensure your operating system is fully up to date.
Reinstall the Game: If all else fails, a clean reinstallation of the game may be necessary. Try installing it on a different drive if possible.

What Players Are Saying

From the Steam discussions:

“This error is usually caused by the graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest drivers.”

Some users report success by forcing DX11 mode:

In EA App, go to Battlefield 6 → Properties → Launch Options and add -d3d11. This switches from DX12 to a more stable DX11 on some systems.

Enabling a “Switch Game Filter” setting in Discord—or disabling Discord’s game overlay—helped a few players bypass the error.

Summary Checklist

Update or reinstall graphics drivers.
Use the -d3d11 launch option in EA App/Steam.
Disable any Discord overlays or filters.
Update Windows and BIOS, especially if you’re on an Intel CPU.
If issues persist, consider reverting to an older, stable driver release—some users have had success with this workaround.
