Game worked just perfectly fine for 8 hours but not anymore. Randomly freezing and crashing.
So I have very annoying problem. Game used to work just flawlessy but suddenly it started to randomly freeze and crash with some weird Directx error about the video card being removed( lol?) or something like that and I'm forced to shut it down my system manager.

I don't know how to fix it, I tried reinstalling Directx, updated all my drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game but the problem still persists, I'm at my wits end.

I'm having the same problem.... I've played an entire run without having this issue but now it keeps happening at the start of the game (either during the cutscenes to the Nexus or when you regain control to go to the Nexus). I have no idea what to do to fix it...

At least you can get in. EA servers timeout for me every time i press play.

I don't think this is fixable, I tried literary everything and nothing worked. This game just isn't playable on some computers it seems, almost none of the people who have this weird directx error problem fixed it.

Whatever, this game sucks anyway. I only got Andromeda because it was in the bundle with Dragon Age, lol

I had same problem today, game worked fine before (with origin), then suddnely didnt wont start (it started by itsel few minutes later). Think it have to do something with that garbage EA App. All EA games start with delay (some starts 15 minutes after you press start on steam). Do no why but before on origin worked perfect.

Start your System/Windows,let it run 1or2 minutes and do nothing.Then simply restart your System/Reboot.Works for me when it says i "removed my Video Card"

well, well, well

I managed to fix it somehow, for now. Strangely, it was a save state that was making this annoying directx error. After I saved the game to a new slot and deleted the old one, game seems to works now without any problems.

Quite weird.

NEVERMIND, IT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN AFTER I RETURNED FROM EOS TO NEXUS

I have RTX 4080, 13600k, 32gb ram and the game is installed on m.2 drive. The game is constantly crashing and it os completely unplayable because of that. FPS is fine on ultra settings at 4k resolution but the random crashes make it extremely unplayable.
Necroing this thread in case people still play and come up against the same problem.

After much trial and error, I figured out that the problem lies with your save games.

Context: I played about 20ish something hours before this problem appeared for me as well.

Like all of you, I went down the rabbit hole reading up on all of the solutions people have tried.

Here's one I found effective:

1. Yes, make sure you set your page files to be system-controlled. Customizing it up to be as large as you want doesn't seem to help much.

2. The errors occur in several common instances: Conversations/cutscenes and the Tempest.

3. More importantly, the error occurs on your MANUAL SAVES.

4. The solution is thus: Only use your manual saves a couple of times. I.e.: You're playing and you need to stop. You save the game. The next time you play, load that save. When you need to stop again, DELETE THE OLD SAVE and create a new manual save. More often than not, this allows you to continue playing.

5. This is not a 100% solution. Sometimes, the game will crash with a DirectX Error even with the new manual save. In that case, do not despair. Load your last Autosave, and you should be good to go.

Now, why a AAA game developed by Bioware has problems in basic tasks like SAVING is something I can't tell you. I dare say we will never understand that one. But I find this workaround to at least allow me to continue playing.

EDIT:

This has stopped working. Now the game just stops.

Screw this game. I don't know what else to do.
