Ghost Of Tsushima is a celebrated PlayStation exclusive and now it’s available on PC. Developer Nixxes has done an incredible job on the PC port of the game. It’s well-optimized and runs smoothly on different PC configurations.

Despite the optimizations, the PC version of Ghost Of Tsushima is experiencing errors and crashes like in-game crashes, the Unable to create save directly error, and the Shader Model 6.6 support not detected error.

Aside from these errors, PC users also report the game crashing with the Ghost Of Tsushima 0x887A0006: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.

I have compiled a list of fixes for Ghost Of Tsushima that help resolve error 0x887A0006: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG.

Try These Ghost Of Tsushima DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Fixes

PC users report that the PC version of Ghost Of Tsushima is crashing randomly after a certain time with the “0x887A0006: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG” error.

There are multiple reasons the game is crashing to the desktop with error 0x887A0006 like modified BIOS settings, overclocked GPU, Windows Timeout Detection and Recovery shutting down the GPU driver, and more.

The following fixes help PC users fix Ghost Of Tsushima’s DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.

Disable AMD Trusted Module (fTPM) in BIOS

AMD Trusted Module (fTPM) is enabled in the BIOS by default for security purposes. It’s crashing Ghost Of Tsushima with the “0x887A0006: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG” error.

Disable fTPM in the BIOS and the the error will be fixed. Multiple PC users report that disabling fTPM fixed Ghost Of Tsushima’s DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.

Disable XMP or RAM Overclock

XMP is a BIOS setting for Intel CPUs that ensures the RAM performs at its best. If you have enabled the XMP profile in the BIOS or have overclocked RAM, it’s crashing Ghost Of Tsushima with the 0x887A0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.

Disable the XMP profile or revert the RAM to its default clock speed to fix the error.

Restore Default BIOS Settings

If you have changed BIOS settings, especially, related to CPU power for Inte’l’s 13 and 14 generation CPUs, it’s crashing Ghost Of Tsushima with error 0x887A0006. Intel and Nixxes have noted that overclocked or modified power settings for these CPUs crash Ghost Of Tsushima.

Restore the default power setting and the BIOS settings to fix error 0x887A0006.

Setup Windows Timeout Detection and Recovery

Ghost Of Tsushima’s DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG 0x887a0006 error occurs when Windows Timeout Detection and Recovery perceives the GPU driver stalling and shuts it down. In reality, the driver isn’t stalling.

I fixed the DXGI error by creating the TdrLevel file in the Windows Registry that resets the GPU driver when Windows TDR detects a stall. Follow the steps below to fix Ghost Of Tsushima’s DXGI ERROR DEVICE HUNG 0x887a0006 error.

  • Type regedit in Windows search and run it as an administrator.
  • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> GraphicsDrivers.
  • Right-click in the right panel in the ‘blank space’ and Select New In Windows Registry.
  • Select DWORD (32-bit) Value and name the file TdrLevel.
  • Double-click TdrLevel and select Modify.
  • Confirm that the value is 0
  • Restart your PC.
  • Play Ghost Of Tsushima and error 0x887a0006 is fixed.

Disable GPU Overclock

If you have overclocked your GPU to get more performance out of it, it’s crashing Ghost Of Tsushima to the desktop with error 0x887a0006 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. Revert the graphics card to its default GPU and Memory clocks to the error.

Enable Debug Mode

Most graphics cards from AIB partners like Zotac are factory overclocked or use higher GPU and Memory clocks compared to reference models.

This is crashing Ghost Of Tsushima with the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error. Enable the Debug Mode in the Nvidia Control Panel and the graphics card will use Nvidia’s recommended GPU and Memory clocks.

Open the Nvidia Control Panel > Help > Debug Mode. This will fix Ghost Of Tsushima’s error 0x887a0006.

Run The Game In Compatibility Mode For Win 8

Compatibility issues with Windows 11 or 10 are crashing Ghost Of Tsushima with the “DXGI ERROR DEVICE HUNG, 0x887a0006” error. Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 8 and the error will be fixed. I’ve tried this fix and it works.

  • Right-click Ghost Of Tsushima in your Steam library > Manage > Browse local files.
  • A new window will open containing game files.
  • Right-click the executable and select Properties.
  • Go to the Compatibility tab.
  • Check “Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select Windows 8 from the drop-down menu.
  • Play Ghost Of Tsushima and error 0x887a0006 is fixed.

Limit Max Frame Rate

If you are playing Ghost Of Tsushima at an unlocked FPS, it’s crashing the game to the desktop with the 0x887a0006 error message. Fix the error by limiting the game’s Max FPS as it reduces the GPU and CPU load.

I don’t recommend using the in-game FPS limiter as they often cause bad frame pacing. Use the Nvidia Control Panel.

  • Open the Nvidia Control Panel.
  • Click “Manage 3D Settings” and open the Program Settings tab.
  • Select Ghost Of Tsushima from the drop-down menu.
  • Scroll down, enable Max Frame Rate, and set a value.
  • Play Ghost Of Tsushima and the 0x887a0006 error is fixed.

Note: Unless you use a Freesync or G.sync display, your Max Frame Limit should be 1/2, 1/3rd, or 1/4th of your monitor’s refresh rate. Otherwise, the game will feel jittery.
