1. Verifying game files
2. Clearing cache
3. Freeing up RAM
4. Turning down settings
5. Updating every driver I can
6. Updating BIOS
7. Cleaning the whole computer
Please help I want to play my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game I hate

When i had this issue the only solution for me is to go back to older drivers.

[oButterBot]

newer drivers are garbage probably, my AMD was doing this im not sure what fixed it entirely because i did a few steps at once.

First If you have AMD Radeon and have GPU scaling off, try putting it on.

If that doesn't work Uninstall the video driver completely and install the driver ONLY without the AMD radeon program they have with it.

Try setting your video options to default if you have modified them.

You may have a bad RAM stick.

Discord and Razor Synapse for some reason cause problems too, because my problem came back until i closed them (it was mainly Razor Synapse stupidly for some reason)

Another thing is to check SysMain in services and make sure its running and not stopped

Try going in to your System > Display > Graphics and finding the OW2 Program and making sure its set to High Performance and not "let windows decide"

You can also try monitoring the temp of your GPU, i didnt win the AMD radeon rx 5700XT lottery so i got a piece of crap, if i go over a certain point it was doing that to me or crashing and restarting my computer, so i had to crank up the fan speeds in the settings of the AMD app

Changed my RAM, still nothing. Regulated my gpu temps, still nothing. Thank you for the response but it might be over for me

Whats your gpu?

This error happens when the GPU does not respond to windows on time or reports back an error that the GPU has reported.

If you've tried a clean install this is prob not the case but it can also be caused by other software like overclocking software, screen overlays, streaming software, or anything that uses Directx. And when installing drivers make sure to uninstall the old one completely with a software like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).

If nothing works it could be a hardware problem or your that your gpu is not supported? If you don't mind not using your gpu you try switching to using integrated graphics instead.

I have a GTX 1080ti and I don't use any overlay software except the nvidia experience thing

I have a 1070ti on my other pc and it works fine/runs great, I thought you had an old amd card but now I honestly don't know whats up.

I want to say maybe blizzard support might be able to help you? Sorry, I hope you can fix it.

If I turn every setting to lowest, turn down resolution, cap framerate, and close all background processes it runs well for like 3 games. Idk man I just gave up sorry sir

dude, i think i figured out a fix (not sure but i played 3 games without a crash and used to crash in the first one) i deleted the overwatch folder in documents, started the game and close it, checked the "read only" box in the config file located in that foldder.
u should try that

[76561199166475160]

For any of you who still has this error: If you are an Nvidia user try disabling gsync. I disabled every single setting related to it through Nvidia Profile Inspector and afterwards haven't had a single crash - even with multiple programs consuming resources at the same time. Hope it helps someone out there
