If not resolved, these issues can ruin the experience for users. One of such issues the <strong>Death Stranding DX12-ErrorCode: 0x887a0005<\/strong>. This is a rather common error that many users have reported in the game. However, there has been no update from <strong>Kojima Productions<\/strong> as of now. Needless to say, this error can be resolved and the solution is simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>DX12-ErrorCode: 0x887a0005<\/strong> is caused because of out-dated GPU drivers. <strong>DirectX <\/strong>is one of the common APIs that GPUs use to run most games and <strong>Death Stranding<\/strong> is one of them. The most up-to-date version of <strong>DirectX <\/strong>is <strong>12.0<\/strong> and it is required that your GPU is not only up-to-date with <strong>DirectX 12<\/strong>, but also compatible with it. In this article, we will explain how you can resolve the <strong>Death Stranding DX12-ErrorCode: 0x887a0005<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Resolve Death Stranding DX12-ErrorCode: 0x887a0005?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you attempt any of the below-mentioned resolutions, make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements for the game.
