Continuation of this thread.

Still crashing on launch of Overwatch, and sometimes in the middle of D3.

If you clicked and looked through the thread you’d see that that thread, along with troubleshooting suggestions, was clearly linked already by a blue post and stated it has no affect on the issue.

Did you try drivers released before September 19, 2018? The newer ones have the 20-series cards included, which was also causing me to have Overwatch crash from the same error. Rolling back to early Sept, I think I did the 9th release, fixed it for me (for now).

I have already tried 397.64 geforce driver and the latest one, both don’t help with the rendering device failed, however prior to getting a new computer this did not happen.

Out of curiosity, did you look in the Windows Event Viewer under Windows system logs and see what’s happening at the time of the crash? This will generally tell you if some piece of hardware has stopped responding by marking it with a red exclamation point. :exclamation:

This is a common Windows 10 installation/update error, where you are lacking administrative permissions of specific files/directories and permissions to the registry data. This is not the fault of you or the Overwatch client, it is specifically a Windows problem. You can Google a fix by sticking the error text in Google, or you can look for Windows updates, or roll back to a previous update.
