You’re not alone. People tried a lot. Gotta wait for Blizzard to fix it.

In the meantime, at least for me, creating a new Windows user fixes the issue temporarily. But only for one session, so I have to delete + create that user every time I want to play the game. Maybe it works for you as well until Blizzard gets moving.

do you have to download the game on that user?

im having the same problem heres ym dxdiag dxdiag - Pastebin.com

No, I just search up battle.net in the start menu and Overwatch is installed in there.

The US forums have come up with a better way already. You still have to create a new user, but you can then start Overwatch within your old user with this command in cmd:
runas /user:<YOUR_USER> "C:\Path\To\Overwatch\Overwatch.exe"

I start it once and exit quick so Windows and Blizzard create the user folders (Documents/Overwatch/Settings), then I copy over my settings and run the command again. If you play for a while and exit the game you might have to repeat this all over again, which is why I have the game running since about 8 hours in the background :smiley:

has the issue been fixed fully yet?

Even in 2025 it’s still a thing. I am here with the same issue after just coming back to the game. My girlfriend also has the issue. Just randomly closes to the desktop. No error message. Sometimes it plays for like 15 minutes or 1 or 2 games, other times it won’t even make it to the main menu before it closes.
