Unhandled Exception Error on Launch

When launching Overwatch 2 I get an Unhandled Exception error twice (same error) and then I can see the Overwatch Application in my task manager, but it never launches.

Until I force close that application the Battle Net launcher will show that I’m playing the game, even though it never even launched. I do not find any errors in my Event Viewer. I have run both a scan and repair for the game in the Battle Net Launcher and have tried removing it, deleting the folder in Program Files and then reinstalling and receive the same error.

I’m on a brand new MSI Stealth 16 AI with an NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics adapter. My NVidia driver is version 552.22 which I got from the MSI site. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve gone and opened a ticket and support was unable to assist after all the regular troubleshooting (updating drivers, reinstalling the game, disabling MSI Afterburner [not installed], disabling Razer Synapse, etc…).

In some cases, you may need to completely remove Synapse if it’s causing the crash. The reason should be at the end of your DxDiag after you export it to a text file.
