UE games crash on launch

Whenever I try to launch Unreal Engine games, they always crash on launch with error code 0x887A0006, saying the connection with the D3D device was lost. Everywhere I’ve looked says this is caused by a problem with the GPU, drivers, or the like. Increasing the Tdr delay did not fix it. How do I solve this?

I got the same issue after updating to amd driver 3.1.26 downgrading to 1.1.26 worked for me. I was having issues with PSVR2 room setup and I couldn’t launch helldivers 2 either. I was getting the D3D device lost error

Thank you so much! Here’s hoping this gets fixed soon. Do you know which driver version broke this?

how did you downgrade your drivers?

I just installed the older drivers from AMD’s website.

Sorry I don’t know, I upgraded because I was having issues with steamvr not launching, so I updated drivers and proceeded to spend roughly 8 hours trying to figure out why it was not working. Helldivers not working clued me into it being a system wide error and that led me to downgrading my drivers.
