Remnant 2 is the sequel to the beloved Remnant: From The Ashes from developer Gunfire Games. The sequel improved upon everything from the original, even visually the game looks very good. However, PC players report experiencing errors and crashes like DX12 Not Supported, Unreal Process has crashed, or LowLevelFatalError. Experiencing such errors is common among PC users and this Remnant 2 guide will help players with how to fix the LowLevelFatalError.
Remnant 2 LowLevelFatalError Fixes That’ll Help
According to PC users, when they launch Remnant 2, they get LowLevelFatalError with the following error messages.
An Unreal Process has crashed
LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\Unreal_TC\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\ShaderCodeArchive.cpp] [Line: 354] ShaderCodeArchive::DecompressShader(): Could not decompress shader (GetShaderCompressionFormat=Oodle)
Or
LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\Unreal_TC\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Util.cpp] [Line: 873] CurrentQueue.Fence.D3DFence->GetCompletedValue() failed at C:\Unreal_TC\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Submission.cpp:939 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
There are multiple reasons why LowLevelFatalError is popping up when launching the game like outdated GPU driver, corrupt systems files, and more. The following are the fixes that will help PC players resolve the LowLevelFatalError.
LowLevelFatalError Fix
The “Could not decompress shader LowLevelFatalError” error is a decompression-related error and system files being corrupt and more are causing It. The following are the fixes that will help players resolve the Remnant 2 LowLevelFatalError.
Restart Your PC
Remnant 2 players report that restarting their PC fixed the LowLevelFatalError for them. This could be due to some temporary files building up over time and causing the error. Restart your PC and Remnant 2 will stop crashing with the LowLevelFatalError.
Uninstall DLC
It seems counter-intuitive to uninstall the DLC that you bought or pre-ordered the game for, but players report that uninstalling the Remnant 2 DLC fixes the LowLevelFatalError and specifically the “Could not decompress shader” error. Open your Steam library > select Remnant 2 > click on “Manage My DLC” under DLC to the right > uncheck all the DLC and close the window. Launch Remnant 2 and the LowLevelFatalError crash is now fixed.
Run SFC Scan
Corrupt or missing system files can also cause the LowLevelFatalError while playing Remnant 2. System files can corrupt over time due to multiple factors. Running the sfc scan, find and replace any corrupt Windows file and fixes the error. Open CMD and run it as an administrator > type sfc /scannow and press enter. Let the scan complete, restart your PC, launch Remnant 2, and it won’t crash with LowLevelFatalError.
Update BIOS
Outdated BIOS for your motherboard is another factor behind the LowLevelFatalError crash while playing Remnant 2. Update the BIOS for your motherboard and the issue will be fixed.
DXGI ERROR DEVICE HUNG Fix
The DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Fatal error is related to the GPU like the GPU isn’t handling the game’s load really well, it’s overclocked, or more. The following are the fixes that will help players resolve the LowLevelFatalError DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error in Remnant 2.
Disable Overclock
Overclocking CPU and GPU to squeeze more performance out of them is one of the advantages of PC gaming. While it can give a performance boost in video games, it can also result in errors like DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. If you have overclocked your GPU, revert it back to its default clocks and the error will be fixed. In case the GPU is factory overclocked, enable Debug mode through Nvidia Control Panel as it forces the GPU to use the reference clocks recommended by Nvidia. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Help > Debug Mode. Launch Remannt 2 and it won’t crash with the “DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG LowLevelFatalError” error message
Limit Max Frame Rate
Playing at an unlocked or high frame rate can result in DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG fatal error. This is due to the GPU being unable to handle the game and the driver crashing. To fix the Remnant 2 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error, limit the game’s max frame rate. This reduces CPU and GPU load and fixes the crash. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > select Remnant 2 > scroll down and enable Max Frame Rate and set a value for it. Apply the changes, launch Remnant 2, and the game won’t crash with the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.
Note: Don’t input any random FPS value as it should be 1/2, 1/3rd, or 1/4th of your display’s refresh rate.
Update GPU Driver
The Remnant 2 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG fatal error is a drier error and the chances that your driver is faulty or outdated are high. Update or reinstall your GPU driver and ensure to do a clean installation will fix the error.
