Crashing on Systems with AMD FX or Phenom chipsets and Avast or AVG Installed
There has been a number of reports of where Avast and AVG installed for those with FX series or Phenom processors on the system have been crashing in Overwatch. To workaround the issue, the following has been found to help:
- Uninstalling Avast or AVG using the uninstall tool from Avast or AVG
- Some reports have had success with disabling all Avast Shields.
Note: We have seen that adding exceptions or exclusions for Overwatch does not workaround this issue.
