DISCLAIMER
I have not been active on this thread anymore, since this issue resolved itself after getting my new hardware. I actually have not played BF1 for a few months, since its incredibly boring cause of its casual gameplay. Literally one of the easiest game out there. I am STUNNED that they dont give a … .
So I might be here once a while, trying to keep the thread on track, but I highly doubt that will help.
Anyways, wish you the best guys. I hope one day EA cares about customers.

Potential workaround that has been working for SOME people. Note that there have been reports of problems with their OS or detection of your GPU. It might crash your system as well, so use at at your own risk. !Seems not to be compatible with Win10!
- turn off any automatic driver updates in Windows 10 or whatever OS you are using
- Use DDU to delete everything from your drivers (http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=673)
- Install driver version 334.89 which can be found here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73218/en-us
- Since Battlefield 1 will complain about old drivers do the nvapi64.dll bypass (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/962633/pc-games/bypassing-the-driver-version-check-of-a-game-/)
Have been getting this error about every 20 Minutes.
DirectX Function “GetDeviceRemovedReason” failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. GPU: “Nvidia GeForce GTX 690”, Driver:
37306
I’ve literally spent more then an hour trying to find a fix without any result. As usual, i do not get any response from the EA support, which is quite annoying.
I have used the later driver, which did not help.
I have used the previous driver, which did not help.
I have tried re-installing the game and repairing the game, which did not help.
All suggested Fixes that did not work for this specific error (Thanks to Kirister for keeping this list up to date) :GPU (GTX 770)

Confirmed very recently by nVIDIA themselves:
My PC isnt the best one out there, but i should be able to run BF1 at atleast medium as im consistently getting 100+ FPS.
Some Specs i found out (Not really a tech guy):
Windows 10
x64 Operating system
Nvidia GeFroce GTX 690
Intel(R) Core™ i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
16 GB RAM
*Note: The Beta worked just fine, except some lagspikes. And none of my gear is overheating.
