Hi everyone. I recently built my custom PC and I got a ASUS R9 280X, along with Battlefield 4 for free. However, sometimes when I play online the game will freeze, so I go to Task Manager and I see this.

"DirectX function 'GetDeviceRemovedReason' failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ('The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is a design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.') GPU: 'AMD Radeon R9 200 Series', Driver: 13.12 (13.251-131206a-166389C-ATI)"

Please help!! Thanks

My friend told me how to get past the problem. Download MSI Afterburner and downclock the GPU core about -10mHz. It works! Played for a full glorious hour without any crashes/freezing. Now we don't have to wait for DICE to get off their pile of money and fix the game

welcome to battlefield .... ahh bugfield, sorry, almost forgot

don't worry about that, that's a new bug introduced with the latest game update
that's a problem with the directx-renderer in the game
i also get the same errors with the mantle-renderer from time to time, that's something ea/dice (again) has to fix
