What is strange regarding the error posted above is: “Passthrough” is usually a feature, related to virtual machines, where some piece of hardware (like CPU or GPU) needs to be made available inside the VM. I can understand why this could lead to issues with some kind of emulation on a Mac (someone else was complaining that OW2 no longer works with CrossOver, which apparently is some kind of software to make Windows games run on a Mac). However, all of my machines are native Windows machines, as is the case for most other users affected by this issue.
Are you using SentinelOne?
I had to look up what that is, but no, I do not use SentinelOne and also no other fancy firewall stuff.
But I have found another hint on what is going wrong. The filename from the error log, I found earlier (libcef- etc. ) hints that CEF is involved, which might be the Chromium Embedded Framework. So libcef is probably a wrapper around the Chromium engine that is used by the Battlenet client and Overwatch to display some content like web and video content. That is the same renderer Google Chrome uses to display web content. It is highly likely that this component runs in some kind of sandbox that requires GPU pass-through to be able to use GPU acceleration for rendering. And this is what Blizzard broke with the last update.
FIX FOR ERROR: 0xc000007bX
Download Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable
If you have it installed already go to…
Control Panel > Uninstall a Program (under programs) > search for “Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable” and uninstall and then reinstall.
Direct link to install Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable is here…
https ://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64 .exe
(I put spaces in link so I can post)
Errors related to 0xc000007b make sure you have VC Redists for both x86 and x64 also all c++ redists from 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022.
Usually this error means the application is trying to load 32 bit library from 64 bits process (as fallback or library linkage fault in devs project).
Another thing: Run Overwatch.exe without launching from BNet. C:\Program Files (x86)\Overwatch\_retail_\Overwatch.exe. If it open, its BNet fault
i want to solve this problem 0xE0010FF0

having this issue too, since yesterday. game works on steam though, but i want to make use of my xbox gamepass skins i paid for.
