Crashing with the error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED (0x887A0005, 0x887A0007, 0x887A0020)

This crash is caused by a common DirectX error that can be related to various different issues, such as outdated drivers, RAM problems or an overclocked or otherwise overstressed GPU.

We are investigating the issues that may cause this in game, but it can also be caused by multiple different issues beyond our control, some of which may be possible to fix or work around at your end.

Here are some potential fixes:

Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date.
Disable Image Sharpening in the Nvidia Control panel.
Ensure your DirectX installation is up-to-date.
Disable overclocking on your GPU.
You may also be able to find potential solutions to the problem by using the error code and your GPU manufacturer as search terms. The error code is found at the beginning of the crash report, at "The crash was caused by the DirectX error [ERROR CODE]"

I find an odd case today when I'm testing mod: Yesterday I switched from Chrome to Firefox, and I usually keep the browser on when modding and testing, but today the game crashed when I click subeditor, this never happened before.

the error is this:

Exception handler failed: One or more errors occurred. (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.)

So i suspected it has something to do with Firefox and GPU. I checked on Chrome, I had GPU acceleration on, so I did the same with Firefox. As soon as I turned the GPU acceleration on, and the issue disappeared, and never occured again.

I hope this helps.
