Steam Deck Crashing

[Ectoplasmatic]

Ever since the perks update a little bit ago I can’t run OW2 on my steam deck without it encountering an error and crashing. I’ve never had this issue before.
I’ve tried swapping proton versions from experimental to 9.0.4 and back but it doesn’t seem to help. Any assistance would be appreciated

I've been experiencing the same. Totally screwed me in two different competitive matches. I hope they can fix this, or I'll have come back to the game for nothing 😮‍💨

This has been happening to me too! Hope it's resolved soon

[Snortgunther]

yes, im getting crashing on my deck. started with this perk update. i have tried turning all settin
gs to low and it still crashes. seems to me my deck is running hotter since the update.

I crashed at least 5 or 6 times since the perk update. That's so frustrating... I hope they're gonna fix this soon.

Seconded, sometimes I can play for an hour before crashing, other times barely ten minutes

Me and my girlfriend both play on the steam deck and we’ve been experiencing the exact same thing

Last night every game we played, it crashed and we gave up for the night

I have been crashing so many times it’s annoying. I keep trying different Compatibilities but it’s not working. I don’t want to get banned. Hope they fix this soon.

Overwatch 2 keeps crashing every 2-3 games now. Its getting pretty annoying. Any updates yet?

[Shohei_Tora]

Nothing yet, I think I’ve hit 8 crashes already, gonna have to stay off for a bit sadly.

[Diano]

Me too :(
At least it's not just an individual problem but a steamdeck problem that can be looked into by the developers (hopefully)

The only resolution that i found for me, was install Bottles, download Battle.Net there and then download overwatch 2 again.
Its have been 40 minutes playing and the game didnt crashed yet. (and i hope it dont)
You can find easily how to install Bottles on youtube, isnt too hard

[jOhNaKaZi]

Game crashed again. Now I’m suspended for 10 minutes

Crashed so much it has effected our endorsement level

I'm having the same issue. Crashed so much I got banned for the season.
The crashes are really weird: the game freezes, and sometimes it goes back on, but other times, it simply goes black and gets you on the steam overwatch 2 play page. But the play button isn't green, it looks like it's "updating" with the steam logo in it - it makes no sense for that to happen every couple matches, the exact same "update", when i always check if theres any updates before running the game.

OW2 support says it is not on their end, and that I should check on Steam's end. My partner plays on the same internet on PC, directly through battlenet and hasn't had issues.
