No compatible graphics hardware was found. (0xE0070160)

I’ve been playing Overwatch on my laptop for several months now, but suddenly a couple of days ago I started getting the “No compatible graphics hardware was found. (0xE0070160)” error whenever I attempt to launch the game. Here are the things I’ve tried in order to fix the error so far:

  • Rebooted
  • Changed display resolution below native (and back again)
  • Reinstalled Overwatch
  • Updated Intel graphics drivers
  • Updated Nvidia graphics drivers
  • Performed clean install of Nvidia graphics drivers
  • Updated Windows

Unfortunately, nothing has worked so far, and I’m out of ideas. The most common solution to this problem according to my online research is simply changing the display resolution, but attempting this did nothing for me. Are there any other possible solutions that other people might know of which I haven’t already listed here?

Also, here’s my DxDiag information:

This is a common problem since a recent Windows update. Check this blue post out:

@WyomingMyst I just tried everything that you included in your post quote; no change.

I had a similar problem and it worked for me thank you

Thank you for following up. Now I know this sounds trivial, but I have to ask if you are on a desktop computer, is your monitor video cable plugged into the output of the graphics card and not the motherboard?

http://www.mystgraphics.com/OverwatchForumImages/backofcomputer-videooutputusage.png

Since it sounds like your problem is a little more complex, I recommend starting a web ticket. Just note that in the DxDiag I have read, your computer is not running off of the GPU but instead the Motherboard onboard graphics.

@WyomingMyst - I am on a laptop. I’ll open a web ticket as well, but knowing that I’m not running off the GPU gives me a good starting point for some additional research of my own. Thank you!


UPDATE: I’ve successfully resolved the issue! It turns out that my laptop model (a Lenovo Y570) has a small silver switch on the front which, when flipped, forcibly deactivates the dedicated GPU (thereby defaulting the laptop to the use of integrated graphics). I must’ve hit this switch by accident at some point over the weekend.

I have no idea why Lenovo felt that this feature was necessary, but at least I figured it out! Hours of research and all I had to do was flip a little switch… : )

@WyomingMyst, thanks again - if you hadn’t deciphered the fact that my GPU wasn’t in use from my DxDiag file and altered the focus of my online research into the issue, who knows if I ever would have come across this solution!
