Game suddenly closed, no error message

Game just closed itself twice in a few minutes too, half my team was getting disconnected the same way.

Same thing, I lost 3 comp games with people just crashing, doesn’t happen to everyone and most of the time it happens to only 1 team. Could be some sort of exploit or just bad servers. The game crashes instantly with no error message as if I just closed the application. Game is unplayable at the moment.

I’ve still only had 1 crash from this issue. Others are clearly not so lucky.

Yeah, same issue happening here. Was playing No Limits with a full group- one guy dropped and then about 5 minutes later we all started getting booted back to desktop too.

We all kept trying for a small while before eventually just giving up for now. Only one person in the group didn’t seem to be affected by this whatsoever. No error log to go off of, either. Seems to happen quicker the more time you reattempt it- at least, that’s how it felt to us.

Hope this issue gets resolved quick.

I started playing Hammond, and everything was fine until the game crashed. Well, I submitted a report and was able to log in again, however, I found that my endorsement level had dropped to 4.

The same just happened to me. No crash report, nothing in windows event logs. The game just closed itself. The issue affected members of 1 team only. Started with one member and after like 30 seconds other members dropped out as well. The game ended and I got 15 min leaver status. The issue happened at around 21:15 UTC+2 EU server.

Just as a follow up, Blizzard is aware of this issue and is tracking reports in this #technical-support thread:

just happened to me. joined an already in progress game, picked doom attacked an enemy Ashe and the game closed instantaneously without any error message.

Crashes specifically 1 minute after joining an already in progress game (Quick play). This has happened consistently now, the exact same way, every time for me.

The same thing just happened to me twice in a row backfilling into quick play Volskaya attacking second point with 6 minutes on the clock lol, so I imagine someone else had the same thing happen to them before me, unless they rage quit while winning for some reason.

Anyway, after the first crash, I rebooted the game and got put in the same match, then it happened again right in the middle of a fight, so I came here to see if others were having the same issue, and found this thread.

It looks like it’s been going on a while unfortunately.

Oh… backfill?? I am under the impression that both times I got closed out of the game (no crash report) I was also backfilling in QP… I’m certain this last time I was backfilling because I came here right now, but I also think the last time I was also backfilling.

Good thing I wasnt in any competitive match.

Was playing a game on Hanamura when suddenly 3 members on my team including myself had their game’s close with no error message. This is the first time the game has closed like this and the fact that all 3 of us had it happen at the same time means it must be a common bug. I’ve also seen multiple posts on here recently reporting similar experiences where their game will close randomly, and even one where multiple team members crashed. Luckly I didn’t lose SR this time but I’d rather have this fixed before I continue to play more competitive. If it keeps happening I’m just going to avoid playing.

Just happened on Busan during a comp game, multiple of us got booted from my team and enemy team. After game got a message saying I’ve been removed from voice chat.

I just had this same issue. Was playing a competitive game as a tank. Somebody leaves and we get the leaver warning about receiving a loss, and the enemy team are very close to pushing the payload to the point to win. Before the 2 minutes of the leaver warning elapsed, my game shuts with no error message, program just disappeared. By the time I relaunch the game has, I assume, ended, and I have a 13 minute suspension. Is this an exploit somebody is taking advantage of? I’m surprised this has been as issue as long as it appears to be.

ETA: I was in role queue on Tank, watchpoint Gibraltar. This was a placement match. We had pushed the payload to just before the second checkpoint, and the enemy team were just about to reach it when my game closed.

had this happen to me just now, my whole team kept crashing and we lost a winnable game because of it. Exploit or bug?

This is mostly happening on:

  • PC
  • Quick Play Mode (To what I’ve seen)

I’ve noticed that when this has happened the following character is in the game

  • Reinhardt

From what I’ve seen Console players are not experiencing this. The only thing I’ve seen console players experience is when they are the only one on Console and all the PC players leave the game.

Just got a crash in QP right after enemy Rein killed. Got a crash a couple games earlier in QP when I was Rein and died. Could be related… I’m on PC.

Happened to me right now, i was playing Mayhem, and it crashed randomly, happened to me also some weeks ago, as stated, i got no Error Log and nothing could’ve crashed OW… Can we have a fix? idk, might be some cheaters making us crash, idk… happened to me while i was crashing enemy team with moira, could be anything really…

This exact same thing has been happening to me since the last update. It doesn’t matter what character I’m playing.

It seems to happen towards the end of a game (always during the most intense part). And of course my endorsements level keeps dropping. So dumb.

It’s pretty much making playing pointless.

idk why, but this time video drivers crashes randomly, i’ve cleanly reinstalled them and i’m waiting to see if it does again, for now it’s fixed, hopefully i won’t crash again while playing competitive ;I
