Nvidia Sharpening causes "Your rendering device has been lost"

Just recently, Overwatch started giving me the error of “Your rendering device has been lost” After a large amount of troubleshooting (reinstalling drivers, updating Windows, verifying Overwatch integrity), I decided to go into my Nvidia settings and turn off all custom Overwatch settings. It worked fine after this, so i went back in and turned on Sharpening, and the issue happened again. It only happens when sharpening is on, and it used to work with it just fine. It works fine with other games. Anyone else here experience this?

Hey Vlaphor,

This is actually caused by a bug with the Nvidia 445.75 drivers. Nvidia released a hotfix driver 445.78 to fix this. We have forum thread dedicated to this issue as well while it’s going on.
