Game lovers already have heard about the new battle royale game called Apex legends which is free to play using PC, PS4 and Xbox One. You may have a doubt whether it can outrun Fortnite and PUBG and the answer is its unique features. Unlike Fortnite and PUBG, you can choose eight unique character classes which will definitely become a game changer.
Bugs and errors make a game hard to digest. Since the game is new, many people have already submitted many errors and bugs. One such error is Engine Error which pops up on PC while the game starts or in-between the gameplay. We have collected some information regarding this issue.
Myself and 3 friends who are playing Apex Legends with very different setups have been experiencing constant crashing in the last few days. More than 10 million users started playing Apex Legends in less than a week of the game’s launch. It’s one hell of a success story even for big guns like EA and Respawn. However, no matter how much fun Apex Legends is to play, but issues like freeze and crash are disappointing to deal with.
Discussion details with our fellow reader who reported Apex legends Engine Error
We got a mail from Peter regarding an issue with Apex legends computer game. Since we don’t have a forum to discuss, we are posting the same here.
Hi Myself Peter an addictive game player. Last day while playing the game Apex Legends, I got an engine error message. The game window automatically close after that and I am unable to play the game. I am attaching a copy of the error message in this mail and If you have any idea how to solve this, please do reply.
Peter attached a screenshot of the same error and here I am adding it for you.
The error is as follows.
Engine Error – 0x887A0006 – DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG The application’s device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.
We cannot solve an error by just looking on it. But this warning just remembers me something about the graphics. So I asked Peter to send his system configuration.
