Windows 10: Overwatch 2 started crashing suddenly

So around 2 weeks ago I was playing OW2 like usual, and then it suddenly crashed, I just thought it was natural and rebooted, but then it started happening again, and again and again, usually around the same time like 10-20 minutes and I just don't know what to do, so far I tried: reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers, reinstalling the game, verifying the game files, enabling the game in firewall+disabling fullscreen optimization, checking RAM, and nothing worked so far. I beg someone to help. specs: AMD rx580 4g, ryzen 5 5600x, 16gigs of ram, 475 gigabytes of storage

Consistent crashing while paying Overwatch

Hello,

I have a problem where I get consistent bluescreen crashes while playing Overwatch. This does not happen with other games like Fallout: New Vegas or while doing anything else, the crashes are unique to Overwatch. The error code is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
90% of the time, other times it could be any one of the codes listed here. I have taken the steps in
this article to run driver verifier and uploaded the .dmp files, as well as my dxdiag and msinfo here.

The help is Appreciated

 

Overwatch 2 keeps crashing, not sure why. Need help

Hi Oscar Chagoya,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



The system reset operation you perform can rule out anomalies in the system components themselves.

The issue came out of nowhere this week, which means that the factors associated with this issue seem to point to the game itself.

According to information on Blizzard's forums, some users are experiencing similar issues.

Overwatch 2 has encountered an unexpected error - Technical Support - Overwatch Forums (blizzard.com)

Some of these community members have analyzed the crash issue as possibly being related to a specific version of the graphics driver(as well as specific parameters).







.

Another level of possibility is that there is a compatibility-level conflict between the new code introduced by the game's update and the system.

For this level of possibility, it may be necessary to submit feedback on the issue to the game's support team.

Frequent crashes playing Overwatch

Hi,

To determine the root cause of this issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you tried playing other games and check if the same thing occurs?
• Which edition of Overwatch are you using?
• Do you have the physical copy or the digital version of the game?

If you're using the digital version, we suggest running the Windows apps troubleshooter provided on this

link. This can help in resolving issues regarding games and applications downloaded from the Windows Store.

We'll be waiting for your response.
