UE5 gpu crashed or d3d device removed

@Joshuab_artist I have several programs open when using the editor and no problems. But I have an AMD 5950k and 64gb of ram, so if you are using a lower end machine, it is possible to have too many programs open at once.

I believe the D3D HUNG error has to do with Windows 11 and Nvidia drivers not playing nice with each other on some video cards. When the Unreal Editor or some Unreal games are in this environment, the card can crash.

If you want to give the compiled/built file a try, here is the link.
1st. Update to version 5.0.3 in the launcher if not already done.
2nd. I would suggest backing up the UE5\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-D3D12RHI.dll file before trying this.
3rd. Extract the zip to the installed folder of the editor and let it overwrite the .dll file.
I am not sure if this will work because there may be other files that were effected/hooked during the build. If it doesn’t work, replace the .dll file from your backup.
