The DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED and DXGI ERROR DEVICE HUNG error in Silent Hill 2 Remake typically occurs when there is an issue with your graphics card or its drivers. This error indicates that the connection between the graphics card and the system was lost or the device was forcibly removed during gameplay, causing the game to crash. Here are the main causes of this error:

1. Outdated or Corrupted Graphics Drivers:
Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers are a common cause of this error. If your GPU drivers are not up to date or become corrupted, it can result in compatibility issues between the game and the graphics card, leading to the DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED message.

2. GPU Overheating:

Overheating of your graphics card can trigger this error. When a GPU reaches unsafe temperatures during intense gameplay, it may shut down to protect itself, which the system interprets as the device being "removed."
Insufficient cooling, dust buildup, or inadequate ventilation can cause overheating.

3. Overclocking the GPU:
If you’ve overclocked your graphics card to increase performance, it might cause instability, leading to the DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED error. Overclocking can push the GPU beyond its limits, causing it to crash mid-game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy and paste this for Windows 11 64bit:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrDelay"=hex(b):08,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

How to Fix the DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED in Silent Hill 2 Remake:

Update Graphics Drivers:

Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your GPU. You can download them from the NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel websites, depending on your hardware.
Disable GPU Overclocking:

If your GPU is overclocked, revert to the default clock speeds to avoid instability during gameplay.

Monitor GPU Temperatures:

Use monitoring tools like MSI Afterburner to check your GPU temperatures. Ensure that it stays within safe limits, and clean your PC to improve airflow or add additional cooling if necessary.
Check Power Supply Unit (PSU):

Ensure your PSU can provide sufficient power for your GPU. If it’s underpowered, consider upgrading your power supply.
Increase TDR Delay:

You can manually increase the TDR delay to give the GPU more time to respond before Windows triggers the device removal error. You can do this by editing the Windows Registry:

Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers.
Right-click in the right pane, create a New - DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it TdrDelay.

Double-click it and set the value to 8 (in seconds).
Restart your computer.
