[GPU] CrashGPU / DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED (D3D12 page fault) on RX 9070 XT persists in 2.4

Summary:

Space Engineers 2 hard crashes with the same GPU render failure hundreds of times. Intermittent: sometimes a few minutes, sometimes hours. Still reproduces on 2.4.0.77 after upgrading from 2.3.x.

Hardware:

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

- Drivers tried: Adrenalin 26.7.1 and 26.6.1 (both still crash the same way)

- OS: Windows 11

Game:

- Versions: 2.3.0.2798 and 2.4.0.77 (both)

- Mode: Singleplayer survival (Welcome To Verdure)

- Save: Welcome To Verdure 1 -PlanetBound2

Crash signature (every time we checked logs):

- Process tag: CrashGPU

- DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED (0x887A0005)

- DRED DeviceState: Pagefault

- Dies during ScenePreparation + Render (Present / GPUProfiler readback)

- VRAM at crash typically ~13 GB used / ~14–15 GB budget

- Windows Event Viewer then shows secondary fail-fast in coreclr.dll (0xc0000602) after the GPU already died

What we tried (did not stop the page-fault crashes):

- Graphics preset Low through High / Extreme

- Raytracing Off / Low / High

- FSR on and off

- FPS cap 60

- OBS closed, overlays reduced

- Mild GPU power limit

- Different Adrenalin versions (26.7.1, 26.6.1)

Player observation (not 100% confirmed by logs):

Crashes often seem to happen when the camera swings and hydrogen thrusters enter view (bright thruster FX). Rough feel ~90% of the times I notice a pattern — may be coincidence with camera/view changes, but consistent enough to mention as a possible repro hint.

Note: Keen support has previously mentioned investigating AMD driver issues with SE2; this matches a stable CrashGPU page-fault pattern on RDNA4 (9070 XT).
