After i EXIT game, the “overwatch application” is still listed in my task manager. Eating about 1Gb of my memory even tho game is closed.
I have to “end task” in task manager to close game.
My case is even worse. I can play as much as I want, but there is a 50% chance that my pc collapses after exiting the game. WTF?
Yeah my battle.net says game is still running even tho it clearly isnt
this is still happening to me. I click “exit to desktop” but when I look at the bnet launcher the button says “Playing Now”. I have to use the task manager to end the application.
After exiting the game via the client, the application is in the task manage in 1 of 2 locations: under the Battle.net application, often (but not always) with a crash reporter (listed but not visible on the desktop); or under Background processes as it’s single application.
I am having this very same issue. Every time i close overwatch i need to go int task manager to end the application because i cannot use the bnet app to play other games as the play button is not responsive.
I have the same problem, the process doesn’t close, I have to manually close it in the task manager every time I exit the game… Happens since I changed my GPU from NVIDIA to AMD.
i can confirm, i switched to a 5600XT and have dis issue
+1
Upgraded to a 7700XT and this started happening to me
here is the fix
Go to your OW installation folder and set Overwatch Launcher.exe to run as admin
Right-click Overwatch Launcher.exe >Properties >Then click on the Compatibility tab >set “Run as administrator” and do the same for the Overwatch.exe in the retail folder
This will fix it and the game will close properly
Didn’t worked for me.
this sadly doesn’t fix it, now you can restart the game before the process is dead, but that’s about it.
