Hello, I have recently purchased Overwatch and have been trying to play the game. However, periodically mid match my game will put out the “Your rendering device has been lost” error message, and then force me to close the game.
I have; scan and repaired, updated drivers, closed applications, and ensured that Superfetch(SysMain) is enabled. I do not have any overclock applied and my system is well above the minimum requirements. Most of my components are current, the only exception being my GPU that is still a gtx780. I understand that it’s an older and unsuported card, but it is still well above the advertised GTX 460 minimum.
I would like to know if there are any solutions to this issue as it is preventing me from enjoying this game that I have just purchased. If not, are there any options for refund. As while I would like to play, this persistent issue does prevent that.
Edit: I have also now tried to bypass the blizzard launcher by doing a shortcut to the exe, as well as deleting the overwatch folder, re-launcing, and changing the settings.ini to read only. Im also now being penalized in game lmao.
Nothing is overheating, none of my system resources are above 50%. I cant find anything to aid in this issue.
I have now also gone through windows 10 file system checker and everything was good. Even still, in my first match after booting up I crashed.
Unsupported as in Nvida no longer fully supports it to my understanding. The only driver updates it gets are for security patches.
I have opened a support ticket with my MSInfo and DxDiag attached. I would rather not post all the information provided in the DxDiag to a public forum. Ya, this is being over cautious but still. I have not gotten any response in the support ticket and am unsure how long to wait for it.
In the diagnostic section of the DxDiag.txt this error report is repeated.

In the different instances of this error the, I assume memory position, p2 is pointing towards changes, however the rest of the values including p3 remain the same.
There is also this second error that only appears once and may just be an anomaly.

Idk if this information is of any help. If there is something specific that you are looking for I could consider providing it.
available RAM is low and Overwatch requires a large portion of what’s leftover
The full report is requested for all new tech support threads. I can check out an MSInfo if you want to link to one instead of post. Or you can wait for the ticket system.
