GPU Overclocking crashes game - Technical Support - Overwatch Forums (blizzard.com)
When my game crashes the launcher is bugged out the play button still says Playing now… yet there is no overwatch executable running the background anymore. I am running the latest version of the launcher, tried the beta version too and it does the same thing.
BTW. these crashes do not happen when I play Diablo III which is even a more simpler game than Overwatch and less demanding on Graphics Hardware.
Yet I’d like to know why the launcher is bugged out and still says “Playing now” even tho the overwatch process is closed, I even ran a powershell kill command of the process to make sure it wasn’t running and it’s NOT.
Unfortunately you may need to force close the BattleNet app launcher to reset it. (In the system tray, look for the BattleNet launcher icon, right click it, and select Exit in the pop-up menu).
Nope, it’s not there when this all happens. I think the problem is the launcher perhaps coded logic in such a way it doesn’t poll for the process status in realtime maybe every x seconds or so is my guess.
It seems to be caused by the CrashMailer_64 process. When I exit this manually launch a game and it crashes the PLAY becomes becomes available fairly quickly.
