FIFA 19 DirectX Error Fix (GetDeviceRemovedReason)
If you are facing the FIFA 19 DirectX error or the GetDeviceRemovedReason crash, this guide will help you fix it step by step. This problem usually appears when launching the game or during gameplay and forces FIFA 19 to close suddenly.
This method uses a Registry Editor fix and works especially well on Windows 10 and Windows 11, including low-end or older GPUs.
Common Error Message
You may see an error like:
- DirectX Error
- DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
- GetDeviceRemovedReason
- FIFA 19 crashing on startup or mid-game
This error is mostly related to GPU timeout detection or unstable graphics driver behavior.
Why This Error Happens
Windows has a built-in feature called TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery). When your GPU takes too long to respond, Windows forcefully resets it. In FIFA 19, this often causes DirectX crashes even when the GPU is not actually faulty.
By disabling this behavior, we can stop FIFA 19 from crashing.
Important Warning (Read First)
Editing the registry incorrectly can cause system issues.
✔ Follow every step carefully
✔ Do not change anything other than what is shown
✔ Restart your PC after applying the fix
