General Error 0xe00101c0

When this patch first launched I was starting to have issues with Overwatch launching. I would get this error 1-2 times before I was finally able to launch the game and play normally. Then my PC had an update last night and since then I keep getting this error over and over and it won’t launch no matter how many times I try to launch the game.

Things I’ve tried:

  1. Restarting my PC
  2. Plugging and Unplugging my monitor (I have another separate issue where the game won’t launch if I haven’t unplugged and re-plugged my monitor lol, but that’s just annoying and I can still play)
  3. My GPU Driver is up to date
  4. Deleting the “settings” file in my Overwatch Documents folder
  5. Did a file integrity check
  6. Uninstalled and Reinstalled Overwatch

Nothing has worked so here I am

Other info:
GPU is AMD Radeon RX 5700
CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

Any help would be appreciated I have a coaching session on Tuesday :frowning:

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, after this patch on Tuesday this error started occurring, I did the same thing, restarted my laptop, my drivers are up to date, i deleted the “settings” file in the overwatch documents, file integrity check in both steam and battlenet, uninstalled and installed overwatch in both launchers, completely resetted my laptop and reinstalled windows, everything i can think of, but still i couldnt, on task manager when i open the game it only goes to 150,00k memory and before it would go to 2,500,00 k memory so it doesn’t even open at all now.

I don’t know what else to do, this is the first time I’ve ever gotten this error, I have over 1500 hours and it has never happened before ogghhh
