the initial ashe patch was fine for me but the most recent update has rendered my game completely dead. only symptoms I have are an error that only appears for the very first CTD, which yields
Event Name: BEX64
and of the most apparently problematic signatures
P4: nvapi64.dll_unloaded
considering I have an amd r7 370 which has worked perfectly for my few years with the game it’s odd that the game is suddenly attempting to take the nvidia route, or this is what I am led to believe. after this initial error dialog box the following attempts to launch the game result in a quick ctd no fuss. a full restart will let me see the error for the first time and then radio silence with every following guarenteed ctd. I renamed the file and tried running the game but I think I need to completely move it and probably restart to get it out of memory, hoping this might work but making this post before that final attempt.
update - after removing the wrong driver file noted in the error and running ddu set to clean out nvidia I now get a new fault module name, pointing to what looks like my own driver
Fault Module Name: aticfx64.dll_unloaded
it took a while longer to start this time and I should have already mentioned I have run the scan and repair for overwatch
immediate 2nd update - running the game for a second time, expecting a ctd with no error, I am instead presented with another overwatch has stopped working error dialog but this time it’s pointing to
Fault Module Name: amdihk64.dll_unloaded
running for a third and many more times results in the expected ctd with no error
