same here 3rd bsod from overwatch and also i tried running the repair scan and its now stuck in a loop of scanning and updating and failing to update throwing a code and just is stuck in that loop. the code btw just leads to a blizzard page (BLZBNTAGT00000BB8) with 0 help as its issue is one of its causes ?!?!? cop out page at best. oh no nvidia broadcast running, no antivirus on the pc other than windows default, 32 gb 3600mhz ram, 3090, i5-9600k, nvme ssd’s, latest updates and drivers.
Upddate: i fixed the loop issue by uninstalling and re-installing the game.
Same here, Ryzen 5900x and RTX 3080. DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION only in Overwatch 2.
Happens almost every evening once. Two days in a row it was exactly at the same time.
Well these post have been up for the better part of a week maybe longer, and from what I know a patch is coming out on the 25th but nothing has been acknowledged about this. My account is now banned for the entire season when it’s not my fault I’m unable to rejoin and if they are seeing these comments and threads I don’t understand why this isn’t being addressed by now saying that a fix is on its way even if it’s not on the 25th patch… This really isn’t fair to us who are going through this when all we want is to experience the game and not be penalized for something that isn’t on our end and out of our control.
Had this issue for over a week; computer either displays a blue screen, a dark screen with some on screen elements, or just a lock up of whatever was displaying at the moment. The system completely locks up and I am forced to turn it off by holding the power button.
My workaround before was to just turn off NVIDIA replay. Then afterwards, when I got the newest NVIDIA driver to 522.25 and DDU’d everything, it worked. No crashes no nothing. Turned back on replay and it was fine. Cut to a new OW update, AND crashes all around. Crashed with the replay on, and now off, it still crashed. Might just consider uninstalling the game since it is only 1 game with instability.
I’m looking at bliz tracker and dev tracker on these forums. I don’t see any posts and the last one on playoverwatch on Twitter, last Twitter post was posted on Oct 21st. Can you please post links?
I’m also having this issue. I’ve never had a single BSOD from this computer before until playing Overwatch 2 (I played Overwatch 1 with no issues).
I have Nvidia Broadcast installed and running, and I can’t really disable it as there’s too much background noise. I’ve only had this issue when in voice chat (using my mic) w/ friends though.
Just had my 2nd BSOD now. Really frustrating. Keeps taking me out of games that were going well and stopping me from playing with my friends.
Had another BSOD immediately after my last. Happened 30 seconds into a game. Caused me to quit (attempting to) play with my my friends as it’s too frustrating being kicked out of every game we play.
i figure out the problem about what Overwatch 2 is causing to our computers besides the broadcast nvidia, aka “watchdogs”. Before i explain how is causing BSOD such triple AAA game, i need to share the errors that it gives to me:
now, the reason that why it happens such BSOD is simple. The game block one of the windows operation, it can be mic, window searcher, app, microsoft softwarte, firmware, etc etc etc. Everytime when theres a turn off on Computer, it happens an BSOD, meaning that something on pc didnt close properly or is froze.
None of the games that i have causes that, i had update everything, uninstall some apps that perhaps is causing conflict but the problem maintains, and i repeat, thats the reason: Overwatch 2 block windows operation function, and when the computer need to make a check up everytime you turn off, close app or between times, instant BSOD.
In another words, overwatch 2 is using a code that conflicts with windows 10 and nvidia at same time.
I have:
Intel(R) Core™ i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz 64bits
16GB ram (they aren in perfect condition)
Nvidia GTX 1050 2gb
The developers rarely participate in the “we are aware” posts; they’re busy working on the game. There is a pinned post from a Community Manager (Jodie) at the top of this forum that says they are aware of crashes. When they edit that post, it won’t show up as a “new post” in the Blizz tracker, so you just have to monitor it. Other customer support reps replied to other threads about the issue.
That’s what the Watchdog is for, something in Overwatch causes NVIDIA Broadcast to hang, for too long. The Watchdog decides it’s too long and stops everything.
