I have attempted for the last few hours to try and run overwatch 2, but it is not running on my computer. I purchased this computer, an OMEN, just under a year ago and other games work on it. The game had been working during that time and then recently when I open the game it doesn’t run Overwatch and instead opens a warning window with only the text “Application encountered unexpected error”. I have attempted making sure the drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, uninstalling/reinstalling, running the scan and repair, checking my anti-virus if it is blocked, running as administrator etc. But nothing is working and I still get the same error. Is there something wrong with my computer or something I’m missing?

We can’t see any info about your PC over the forum unless you provide it. What are the specs or full model number? Is the monitor plugged into the standalone GPU?
i have the same issue with a
Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-13700F (24 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
BIOS: R01-B3
32GB Ram
Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 26100)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
i suggest running dxdiag has i found 2 error i think and making a ticket about the crash in full with that attached might help i don’t know
I have an HP OMEN laptop
Processor: Intel(R) Core ™ i7-14650HX
32GB RAM
Operating System Windows 11 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce RTX
I’m not sure what the problem is from all my testing
You may need to reinstall GPU drivers with DDU.
Okay, I’m not entirely sure how to do that, assuming I have to go to the maker of the computers site? The problem is I can play other games like Starcraft II or Steam games
Try this first:
I’m having the same issue. Updated my driver and everything. Im also on an omen laptop, same specs as last guy. Is there anything else we can try?
I’ve been dealing with the same problem, tried all the same solutions, and have the same laptop. Did others find any other fixes for this?
considering all you have tried…here is a non-standard approach:
Since you both have nvidia cards.
1: download msi afterburner
2: once you bring it up, bring down the power limit to 90%
Run the game…see if it crashes….if it does..then step 2:
2: reduce the memory clock by -500 (you can grab the slider and move it to the left)
run the game see if it crashes
Option 3: limit the in game fps to something like 120fps or even 60 to test
this isn’t about getting performance, this is about finding some stability and my experience in weird crashes with overwatch most/all have come from overclocking memory and/or gpu. some manufacturers have stock overclocks…this might be getting you into some trouble…hence underclocking to see if it changes the situation.
If you find it stable with an underclock, then its trial and error to see where you need to be…aka it might be 95% power limit instead of 90.
You can open nVidia Control Panel and enable debug mode to disable overclocks on their GPUs.
