Network initialization faled. (0xE00F00C0)

I get this error when trying to launch from the battle.net launcher.

trying to launch from steam, I get this error:
Overwatch has encountered a critical error during startup. Please reinstall the game and try again.

I have reinstalled the game 3 times on each platform and it doesn’t make any difference. My game worked fine before this patch. :frowning:

Something local on the computer is blocking the connection.

OK i’m dumb. Turns out my AV’s local firewall was tripping it. Not sure why it didn’t before, but that’s what it was.
