Как исправить ошибку 0x887A0006 при запуске игр на Windows?

Ошибка 0x887A0006 является типичной проблемой для многих геймеров на компьютерах с Windows. Интересный факт: наиболее часто с ней сталкиваются игроки Apex Legends. Однако появление подобного кода возможно и во многих других играх.

Как правило, с этой ошибкой приходится бороться владельцам видеокарт от Nvidia. В сообщении ошибки содержится следующая информация:

0x887A0006 — DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG The application’s device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an desing-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.

Проще говоря, система сообщаем, что ваша видеокарта работает не совсем корректно с запускаемым приложением. Ниже вы сможете найти причины ошибки 0x887A0006 и методы для ее решения.

• Лаунчер Origin не имеет прав администратора.
• В реестре системы отсутствует определенный ключ.
• Поврежденные файлы игры.
• Нестабильные бета-драйвер видеокарты.
• Нестабильный разгон видеокарты.

Методы решения ошибки 0x887A0006

Метод №1 Запуск лаунчера Origin от Администратора

Некоторые пользователи сообщили, что им удалось избавиться от ошибки 0x887A0006, запустив клиент лаунчера Origin от имени Администратора. Зайдите в корневую папку лаунчера и найдите исполнительный файл Origin.exe. Нажмите на него ПКМ и выберите «Запуск от имени администратора».

Проверяем, исчезла ли ошибка. Разумеется, подобное решение сработает только в том случае, если вы запускаете что-то из Origin, тем не менее мы рекомендуем запустить от админа и саму игрушку. Сделайте все точно также, как и показано выше, но только с исполнительным файлом (.exe) игры.

Метод №2 Модификация реестра (Apex Legends)

Оказывается, конкретно эта ошибка может быть вызвана конфликтом между недавно выпущенными драйверами для видеокарты и движком Apex Legends. Не хотите делать откат видеодрайвера? Тогда вам потребуется немного «пошаманить» в редакторе реестра Windows.

Нажмите на клавиатуре Windows+R, чтобы вызвать перед собой окошко «Выполнить». Далее пропишите в пустой строчке окна notepad и нажмите Enter. Оказавшись в Блокноте, вставьте в него следующие значения:

• Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
  «TdrDelay»=hex(b):08,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

Если же у вас на компьютере стоит все еще 32-битная Windows, то вставьте в Блокнот эти значения:

• Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
  «TdrDelay»=dword:00000008

Теперь нажмите на пункт «Файл» в строке меню и выберите «Сохранить как…». Назвать файл можно как угодно — это не имеет значения, но убедитесь, что его расширение было изменено с .txt на .reg.

Как только reg-файл будет создан, запустите его и подтвердите свои намерения в появившемся диалоговом окошке. После добавления ключей и значений в реестр системы перезагрузите компьютер и попытайтесь запустить Apex Legends. Ошибка 0x887A0006 не должна вас больше беспокоить.

Метод №3 Восстановление игры Origin

Возможно, файлы запускаемой вами игры в Origin были каким-то образом повреждены. В таком случае вам необходимо воспользоваться функцией восстановления. Откройте лаунчер Origin и перейдите в свою библиотеку игр.

Кликните на значок нужной вам игрушки ПКМ и выберите опцию «Восстановить». Теперь вам следует просто ожидать завершения процесса восстановления, что может занять около часа-полтора, в зависимости от железа вашего компьютера.

Метод №4 Откат видеодрайвера

Еще один довольно эффективный метод — отказ драйвера для графического ускорителя. Возможно, новая версия драйвера крайне нестабильно работает с запускаемой вами игрой. Итак, нажмите Windows+R, после чего пропишите devmgmt.msc и нажмите Enter. Открыв перед собой Диспетчер устройств, раскройте раздел «Видеоадаптеры».

Нажмите ПКМ на свою видеокарту и перейдите в свойства устройства. Теперь переключитесь на вкладку «Драйвер» и нажмите на кнопку «Откатить». Далее просто следуйте инструкциям на экране для отката видеодрайвера к предыдущей версии. Проверьте, исчезла ли ошибка 0x887A0006.

Метод №5 Сброс разгона видеокарты

У некоторых пользователей ошибка 0x887A0006 возникла из-за не самого удачного разгона своей видеокарты. Они просто сбросили значение частот на базовый уровень — и проблема была разрешена. Перед появлением проблемы пытались немного подразогнать свою видеокарту? Сбросьте разгон и ошибка 0x887A0006 должна исчезнуть.

Собственно в чему суть

Остался без видеокарты. Запускаю все на минимлках на встроенном ядре i5-4460 (Intel HD4600)

Титанфол 2 идет прекрасно на минималка в 720р

При попытке потключится к матчу меня выбрасывает на начальный экран с информацией, что время подключения истекло. Запускаю снова и подключаюсь нормально к бою. Но, спустя 5-10 в сетевом матче (режим не важен) вылетает с ошибкой 0x887A0006 — DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Кстати, первый титанфол в аналогичном промежутке времени просто крашится

Проблем с другими играми не наблюдаю…

Температура в норме — 30-35 градусов при длительной загрузке

Для ясности — при прохождении сингла проблема не наблюдается

Спустя час(!) таки появилась…

Solution 1: Update the Graphics Card Drives

Did you know that missing or outdated video card drivers can cause 0x887a0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG? The truth is that it is one of the major causes of this error.

So, if you experience DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG upon launching a game, be sure that you check the graphics card’s drivers. You should immediately fix it if it is not up-to-date by downloading the latest, most appropriate drivers.

With that said, there are two main ways to update the graphics. They are; the manual method and the automatic method. In the below section, let’s take a look at both of those options and proceed.

● Manual Method

The manual method, of course, is pretty challenging and time-consuming compared to the automatic method. It best suits those with enough patience and experience in handling driver updates.

As per this method, you should visit the manufacturer’s official website and search for the respective driver. Then, download the driver and install it on the faulty computer where 0x887a0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG is present.

In this case, you should be very careful in choosing the correct driver from the correct website. Otherwise, you may download the old, wrong, or incompatible driver.

If not, you may even download malware mistakenly. That will only worsen the case. So, if you are a novice or don’t have enough time, just look for the automatic method.

● Automatic Method

Those with little or no time to waste can consider an automatic method the best. You will seek the assistance of a special Driver Easy tool in this method.

Driver Easy is a powerful tool that can recognize your system easily. It can find the correct drivers with ease from the official manufacturer. This tool will never leave any room for error in searching for drivers.

The best thing about this tool is that it automates the entire process. To download and install drivers, you can simply use a single-click operation. It doesn’t want you to know the technical specifications of the PC or the drivers.

When it comes to Driver Easy, it gives you two main options; the Free version and the Pro version. Even the free version lets you download drivers from official sites, but one by one.

On the other hand, the pro version downloads all the drivers at once with a single click. So you can decide which option to use.

Mentioned Below Are the Steps to Update Drivers Using Driver Easy.

• First, download Driver Easy on your PC and install it.
• You can launch Driver Easy to see its main interface. Then, click on the option called “Scan Now.” After that, Driver Easy will perform a scan of the PC. Then, it will look for potential errors related to drivers.

• Now, you should click on the option called “Update.” It is located next to the flagged graphics card. Driver Easy will download the correct, most recent version of the driver. Please note that even the free version of Driver Easy will do this.
• However, if you want to update all drivers at once, go for the Pro version. That will let you download and install drivers with a single-click operation. To do that, click on “Update All.”

• Once the update is done, restart the PC, and the changes will be applied.

Besides, if you wonder how to fix the blue screen dxgkrnl.sys error, this post will tell you what causes this issue and how you can resolve it.

Solution 2: If the CPU Is Overclocked, Stop It

Because of the increased CPU speed, your applications or games may crash. As a result, you may get a 0x887a0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG message.

So, if you have already overclocked the CPU, you will have to reduce the clock speed. If, on the other hand, you haven’t overclocked your CPU, you can skip this solution.

• First, you should perform a restart on your PC. You can then enter BIOS. That can be done by pressing the F2 or Delete keys. That should be done when your manufacturer’s logo appears on the screen.
• Now, select Advanced Chipset Features and go to CPU Multiplier. That appears in the drop-down menu.
• As the final step, enter the command Restore Default Settings into the text box.
• You can then press F10 to save the settings and exit BIOS.

Please remember that BIOS settings may vary from one system to another. So, you should read the instructions on the screen when proceeding.

Once you have done that, run the game again after restarting your computer, so it should work now. That means the 0x887a0006 issue is gone.

---

Solution 3: Update your PC’s DirectX

Well, 0x887a0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG occurs because of the result of the DirectX feature on your computer. Because of that, you can try to update DirectX and see if you can fix the 0x887a0006 error.

If you are unsure about doing it, please follow the steps below for guidance.
