overclocking maybe? your PC may not be able to handle the settings you’re running overwatch on.
you also may wanna try contacting Blizzard’s tech support
i’m using a 1060 6gb video card, i think that’s enough
The Rendering Device Lost error correlates with the Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) that comes with Windows to help recover the graphics when it freezes, so a hard reboot isn’t required.
The cause of this occurring can vary from third party application conflicts, operating system issues, or hardware. From the Rendering Device Lost error found, the following steps can help.
- Close background Applications
-
Check for Overheating
Depending on the hardware on the system, the TJMax of the temperatures can vary. Generally, processors will start throttling at 70C. Certain AMD and Intel models can start at 60C. The graphics card can start to throttle at 80C. - Run through System File Checker, ScanDisk, and Defrag.
It’s important to try testing the game in a few rounds of Co-op vs AI Training to prevent SR loss and leaver penalties in other modes.
If it does continue, feel free to contact our Technical Support team for indepth support or with DxDiag files, additional troubleshooting can be provided. This may still be referred to our Technical Support team depending on the complexity of the TDR crashes.
Place the DxDiag between two (~~~~), it should look like so:
