I was able to somehow fix this exact problem by doing everything in every forum _and_ by going to the Epic Games Launcher \> Library, selecting the three dots on the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, clicking Manage and in the Launch Options write: **-d3d11**

I had also written that line in my Settings \> Fortnite \> Additional Command Line Arguments. But, it seems that that doesn’t carry over to UEFN.

I also did all the [Tdr in Regedit rigmarole](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ttbSOBdpY). Maybe that also helped?

I updated everything and disabled all firewalls and anti-viruses, no dice. For me, it wasn’t [overclocking](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/gpu-crash-d3d-device-removed-error/514360/80) or [overclocking interfaces](https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/tx87si/ue5_gpu_crashed_or_d3d_device_removed/), or [the latest/older NVIDIA Drivers (Game Ready or Studio), or NVIDIA settings](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/gpu-crash-d3d-device-removed-error/514360/23), or [a different monitor](https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/205053/gpu-crashed-or-d3d-device-removed), or faulty RAM, or compatibility settings. It’s just that I had to wrangle the DirectX11 access for UEFN very specifically. Nope, fiddling with [D3DRHIPreference] in the GameUserSettings.ini file didn’t work either.

Hopefully this will help people in the future.
