I haven't crashed since yesterday's hotfix. thank you.

Adam, I've done all your suggestions and am still experiencing the same issue. Didn't start till 1.46 patch for me.

As a note the DX diag I put up before is pre-bios update. on F14 now.

Asus GTX 970 Strix, Driver: 353.06

I get the D3D Error -DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED as well. Started immediately after patching. Happens at the 10-15 minutes in to the game every time. MP or SP. No Mods or Modded.
