Continuous Crashing

Hey, I’m hoping someone here has run into this or knows what’s going on.

Overwatch 2 has started crashing to desktop for me with no error message at all. It can happen during matches or even just sitting in the menus. The game just closes instantly. Windows Event Viewer doesn’t really show anything useful either.

This started recently and I didn’t change any hardware or do anything unusual beforehand. Other games seem to run fine, so it doesn’t look like a general system stability issue.

My specs:

  • i9-14900KF

  • MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI

  • RTX GPU (drivers up to date)

  • 64 GB DDR5

  • Windows 11 (fully updated)

Things I’ve noticed:

  • Graphics settings don’t seem to matter

  • Fullscreen vs windowed doesn’t change anything

  • FPS caps don’t help

  • It’s frequent enough that the game is basically unplayable right now

I haven’t done any advanced BIOS tweaking or CPU changes yet, just trying to understand what might be causing this before going down that route.

If anyone else with similar hardware is seeing this, or if there’s something specific Blizzard is aware of, I’d really appreciate any info. Thanks.

Cap the CPU cores at 5.2Ghz with the Intel Tuning Utility and test from there.
