Constant Crashes - Failed to present D3D11 swapchain due to device removed.

Some good news, it seems the bug has now been looked at and confirmed by the relevant team and hopefully can address soon.

Thanks for the help on this, is very appreciated

"IN-27763 - Build stops responding when building the project using DirectX11 graphics API UPDATE: Internal ID created
CASE IN-27763
Thank you again for your bug report.
Your bug report Build stops responding when building the project using DirectX11 graphics API has been confirmed and transferred to the appropriate internal development team at Unity. Your bug report has the following internal ID: UUM-25111"

 

Great, thanks for the link.

For some reason i could not find it from the email link.

Note also that the LUMINA HDRP works fine in DX11 in the older Nvidia 1050gtx on Dell Xps laptop.

Only newer Nvidia GPUs have the issue.

 

Apparently the latest Nvidia drivers are severely broken, perhaps this is the issue and i dont see it because did not update to that driver and not because i have a 1050gtx

I just worked 8 hours without a problem, my "solution" was to manually set integrated card instead of nvidia.
Fortunately I have a 2D game.

 

Just a temporary solution though, you shouldn't/can't release a game like that because it will still likely crash on random PCs

 

I had it on Steam Deck though, which isn't NVidia >_<

 

Hi,

Not sure on this, what GPU is this running on ?

Also you got the swapchain bug or a general crash ?

 

Its AMD something. I did get the error on my NVidia PC, but then when built, the crash also happened on the AMD Steam Deck.

My particular variation of the problem was related to post-processing though.

So I don't think it matters if its NVidia or AMD. Well, who knows whats going on really, its difficult to say

*edit* it was Swapchain bug. same error as the topic title

 

Indeed, Unity has also confirmed that can be a number of reasons, so will see, hopefully they can discover the problem and solve all.

 

An update, it seems after i updated my 1050GTX drivers get stuck in some of the most demanding scenes in LUMINA URP and HDRP in DX11. I never had any issues with previous drives in either versions in any scene.

With DX12 both assets work fine as well.

I post my new drivers details from DX Diag and Nvidia panels, in case can help.

It is also apparent that Nvidia states Run time DX12 and DX Diag also reports DX12 use, thus i assume they have completely abandoned DX11 and thus the issues of random crashes.

My laptop is a DELL XPS 15 9560, 1050GTX GPU.

Disabling the integrated graphics card worked for me too, thanks!

 

Short-term fix, if you release your game its likely that it'll crash on many players PCs. You cant ask them all to disable integrated graphics and they may not have that option!

 

apparently updating my nvidia driver, fixed this issue

 

Nice, at least works in some configs.

The issue with this is that is rather random, for me updating my 1050GTX driver made the issue appear and had to revert to DX12 mode to work with LUMINA.

 

Any update on this? My development speed is hampered because this crash occurs a few times a day.

 

this fix the issues for me
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/tdr-registry-keys
add
TdrDelay dword 12 sec (default is 2 sec, i think)
RTX 2080 also gt430
dx11, happen when i try running ennourmous(batch) task. not responding then force close with that promt
cpu is not 100% gpu 50% to 100%

 

The issue with this is that the end user will still get a crash and cant be forced to use such modification.

Also the other issue is that in my case the game runs in real time, there is certainly nowhere a 2 secs gpu delay, so the whole thing is off and is a bug that need to be resolved so crashes are globally avoided.

Is also more clear that is a bug as happens only after a certain driver update version.

The windows setting of responding at a 2 secs stalled GPU seems reasonable in general, is useful to know how to extend for editor purposes perhaps, but for run time should never expect a 2 secs GPU stall in general, so real time things should definitly not cause this issue.

 

This is the task manager performance tab during 2 swapchain crashes.
Both of the crashes are indicated by 2 sudden spikes in the 3D utilisation graph.

 

Hi,

Is there any update on the issue ?

Thanks

 

Happening to me a lot recently, I'm using 2022.2.8f1 very annoying.

 

I managed to fix the problem (for me) by going to Registry Editor: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
and changed 'TdrLevel' (which wasn't there, so I created the key) to 0, haven't had a crash since.

 

I'm getting this issue occasionally also. No heavy load, just some UI work in a scene. I was writing code in VS and the computer froze for between 15 and 30 seconds, then the error popped up. GPU is a 3090 and doesn't spike more than 6%.

 

Hi all, i have managed to fix the issue replacing a while loop in my shader with a for loop with specific iterations.

The video shows LUMINA running in DX11 mode.

 

For me in 2020.3.4f1, the fix was to set registry key TdrDelay to 12 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/tdr-registry-keys#tdrdelay and also to change the Graphics API for Windows to Vulkan by adding it and dragging it to the top oif the list before restarting the PC and editor to refresh the Registry key change and Unity project settings.

 

It is a Windows 10 platform app.
If you don't use "Hardware Decoding", it seems to be solved.
It seems to be a GPU compatibility issue, "Hardware Decoding" is disabled, so it works well.

 

In my specific case, I was using virtual desktop on an Intel XE Integrated GPU laptop to use the Oculus Quest Pro on unsupported hardware (the Oculus App told me the GPU was unsupported). But while using Virtual Desktop with SteamVR, Unity would have a TDR timeout crash on play with OpenXR. The next thing I need to figure out is that the VR tracking works in Unity and I can even mix Vive trackers + a base station with OVR Space Calibrator in a mixed playspace using this setup, but the actual VR view does not render in the headset which I have read around is a common Virtual Desktop + Unity issue that has workarounds using command line to launch the unity project with Virtual Desktop attached.

 

The issue appeared for me when I updated the Nvidia drivers to latest ones. I've never seen this one before, but right after driver update I couldn't even open a fresh new project because of it. The fix of adding parameters to work with d3d12 is what fixed it for me. So it seems that there's a strong connection with latest drivers here

 

This happens in Unreal engine too. In Unity it happens a few times a day, and 50 times in Unreal.
So this is not engine issue. It also happens on different PCs.
