EVERSPACE 2 DirectX Error Fix, GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed, Crash At Startup, Unreal Engine Crash, Audio Fix

EVERSPACE 2 PC is facing errors and issues like DirectX Error, GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed error, Unreal Engine has Crashed, in-game crash, audio stuttering, and more. Here I have compiled a list of errors and issues that PC players are experiencing along with their fixes and workarounds.

EVERSPACE 2 Crashing, Audio, Stutter, And Fixes

EVERSPACE 2 is a spaceship shooter with space exploration. The game is currently available as part of Steam Early Access, at the time of writing, which means that the game isn’t yet optimized there are going to be errors and issues with it. PC players are reporting issues with Everspace 2 like an in-game crash, DirectX error, Unreal Engine has Crashed, D3D Device Removed error, crackling audio, and more.

The following are the errors and issues that PC players are experiencing with the game along with their fixes and workarounds.

DirectX Error Fix

Some Everspace 2 players are reporting that they are experiencing the DirectX error telling them to “Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument”. The fix for the DirectX error is easy, all you have to do is play Everpsace 2 with DX11. Right-click Everspace 2 in your Steam library > Properties > and type “-dx11” under launch options. Launch the game and the DirectX error will be fixed.

GPU Crashed, D3D Device Removed Fix

Everspace 2 PC players are reporting that the game is crashing with the “GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed” error. One reason for the D3D Device Removed error is the overclocked GPU. If you have overclocked the GPU then revert it back to its default clock speed even if it’s factory overclocked.

DirectX is another behind the “GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed” error. To fix this, players have to force the game to use DirectX 11. Right-click Everspace 2 in your Steam library > Properties > and type “-dx11” under launch options. This will fix the D3D Device Removed crash.

Given that Everspace 2 is in Early Access, at the time of writing, either the game is putting too much load on the GPU because of being unoptimized or the GPU itself is old. In either case, use MSI Afterburner to reduce the GPU clock by 100 MHz. In case you don’t want to mess with the GPU clock then try limiting the max FPS for the game. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > select Everspace 2. Turn on “Max FPS Limit” and set the value to 30. This will lock the game at 30 FPS and will reduce the GPU and CPU load. Launch the game and it won’t crash with the “GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed” error.

Another reason for this particular error is the game’s resolution. For some players, the game set a higher resolution compared to the display by default which causes the D3D Device Removed crash. To fix this, launch the game and when the black screen appears, press “Alt + Enter”. The game will go into Windowed mode and will start to display. This will fix the error.

Crash Fix

Some PC players are experiencing Everspace 2 in-game crash and here is how to fix it. One reason for the game to crash is the use of third-party tools and software like MSI Afterburner, RGB Software, or tools for the mouse and keyboard. Disable any third-party tool and software you are using along with Steam overlay and Geforce Experience overlay. This will stop Everspace 2 from crashing.

The CPU could be the reason why Everpace 2 is crashing in-game. If you are using a low-end CPU then there is not much you can except for the following. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > select Everspace 2. Set “Ultra” for “Low Latency Mode” and turn off the “Tripple Buffering” and hit apply. This should give your CPU enough headroom to stop the game from crashing.

The GPU could also be the reason why the game is crashing. If the GPU is overclocked then revert the GPU clock to its default even if it’s factory overclocked. If the GPU isn’t overclocked then either reduce the GPU clock by 100 MHz using MSI Afterburner or limit the Max FPS for the game. In case you are playing at an unlocked FPS, then lock Everspace 2 at 60 FPS. If you are targeting 60 FPS then limit the game’s FPS to 30. pen Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > select Everspace 2. Turn on “Max FPS Limit” and set the value to 30. This will keep the game from crashing.

Unreal Engine Crash Fix

“Unreal Engine Has Crashed” is another error that Everspace 2 PC players are experiencing. One fix for this error is to run the game in DirectX 11 mode. See under “DirectX Error Fix” to check how to do it.

If DirectX isn’t the issue the right-click the game in Steam > Properties > Local Files > click “Browse”. This will open a new window. Right-click the Everspace 2’s exe > properties > Compatibility tab > check “Disable Fullscreen optimizations” and hit apply. Launch the game and the Unreal Engine Crash error will be fixed.

Crackling Audio, Audio Stutter Fix

Players are reporting issues with Everspace 2 audio. For some players, the game audio is cracking or popping randomly while for other the audio is just stuttering constantly. These audio issues are related to the game’s graphics. Lower the graphics settings and the audio stuttering and crackling will be fixed. Alternatively, open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > select Everspace 2 and set Vertical Sync to “Fast” and hit apply. Launch the game and disable in-game v.sync. This should fix the audio stuttering issue.

Game Not Working, Crash At Startup Fix

Some PC players are reporting that Everspace 2 is crashing at startup or not launching at all. There are multiple reasons behind the Everspace 2 crash at launch and here is how to fix it.

Your anti-virus/Windows Security could be blocking important game files and causing them to crash at startup. Either disable real-time protection or exclude the Everapce 2 folder from it. After that, verify game files and the game will stop crashing at launch.

Another reason for the crash at startup issue could be DirectX. Check under “DirectX Error Fix” to see how to force DirectX 11 and fix the crashing at launch issue with Eversapce 2.

Right-click Eversapce 2 in Steam > Properties > Local Files > click “Browse”. Launch the game directly from the exe and chances are, you’ll get an error similar to “vcruntime140_1.dll or MSVCP140.dll Was Not Found”. Fix it by installing the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables both x64 and x86 versions.

That is all for our EVERSPACE 2 fixes for errors and issues like DirectX Error, GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed, Unreal engine crash, and more. If you are facing errors and issues with other PC games or your PC then also see our hub for commonly occurring PC errors and their fixes.
