OW2 has also started throwing this error as of this year, I have played that since its launch and this was the first time seeing it, they don’t call it Fenris as that is what this game calls it, but it is the same generic catch all exceptions. I do play this a lot less frequently nowadays but the last time I played I noticed it.

Blizzard has conceded there is an issue, based on they are constantly patching trying to improve stability. And to their credit it does get better at times, but then a random patch comes out and it is back.
One of their big problems is sometimes their patches reset the user’s graphical settings to something they did not have, so you need to always check.
From the outside it is not easy to pinpoint what the issue is, but it is easy to rule out what it is not. If it were nVidia all of these other games would be also crashing randomly also, and the people on AMD video cards would not be impacted at all.
If you need help, the goal should be to lower the the games memory footprint.
Turn these off if not off already:
Ray Tracing, Resolution Scaling (unless you absolutely need it for frames),
Turn these down by a notch:
Shadows Quality
Contact Shadows Quality
Ambient Occlusion
Particle Quality
Clutter
Uncheck:
Distortion
Chromatic Aberration
Cap your framerates to 90 or lower (you can turn it back up later, that goes for all of these)
Set you bg FPS to 8.
I don’t use the game’s VSync, this is up to you, I use the FastSync from the nVidia Control Panel.
In the nVidia control panel:
set your power to max performance (you can do this just for diablo on the 2nd tab in case you want to keep a global setting and a program specific one.)
And just change the shader cache size to something else, hit apply and then set it back to 4GB or above, I use 10GB but that setting for me is set for Star Citizen. Just making the change though should refresh the folder.
Optional you can use the fastsync setting here under vsync, or you can use the one in game and set that to application controlled.
The last thing you need to look at is your page file in the system environment variable.
Some poeople will tell you where to put the page file, I am going to tell you it doesn’t matter if you have all ssd’s, just put it on the fastest non-partitioned drive.
You can set this to 1.5x-2.x (for min max values) of your physical ram.
If you would rather Windows managed it, I would say that is fine just make sure there is a min value of 1.5X. (you will need a reboot after making this change)
And lastly close your browser while playing, until it stabalizes some more.
All these things should help to prolong how long you can play till you see the problem, but again the problem is in the game code, so they do need to address it at some point.
If any of that needs futher input just add me on battlenet and I will help where I can on chat.
I am not sure what this sentence is saying. Link me to what Blizzard said if possible.
