Blacktail LowLevelFatalError or DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE HUNG Issue: How to fix it?
At the moment, the developers have not given any statement regarding these errors. So, the players are left to try out different methods to solve it themselves. Well, there are a few ways in which you might be able to fix the LowLevelFatalError/DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE HUNG issues in the game. We have mentioned the required steps below for you to try.
1) Restart your PC-
A lot of times, a bad system boot can also trigger these types of issues. So, the first step is to restart the PC. Once you do this, simply launch the game and check if the issue persists.
2) Update GPU drivers-
Outdated GPU drivers can trigger all sorts of issues while playing video games. That’s why we recommend keeping your drivers up to date. So, go to NVIDIA’s or AMD’s website and download the latest driver update for your GPU and install them on your PC. You can also try to roll back to a previous version of the drivers and see if the issue gets resolved.
3) Update your Windows-
Another reason why you might be getting these issues is due to outdated Windows. Video games use different system resources to run and perform as intended. But, outdated services can hinder the performance and cause the game to crash. So, always keep your Windows up to date and install any pending updates before launching the game. Also, check if the game has any updates pending. If there is, update it.
4) Switch to the dedicated GPU processor-
To do this, press the Windows key and type NVIDIA Control Panel. Now, go to 3D Settings and head over to the Manage 3D Settings tab. Next, go to the Programs tab and select Blacktail. Now, look for the Prefered Graphics Processor option and select High-performance NVIDIA processor from the drop-down menu. Now, simply save the setting and exit the program.
5) Verify the game files-
If you are using Steam then you can replace the corrupt files of the game which might be the reason for this issue. Simply launch the Steam application and head over to Library. Now, right-click Blacktail and then select Properties. Next, go to the Local Files tab and then click on Verify integrity of the game files option. This will replace all the missing and corrupt game files with new ones.
6) Reinstall the game-
If all the above-mentioned methods fail, then you can try reinstalling the game. While this can be a hassle, it can fix these issues.
Well, this brings us to the end of this article. We hope that you found it helpful. Stay tuned to Digi Statement, and happy gaming.
