Overwatch doesn't launch

Technical Support
1

As the title says, Overwatch isn’t launching. I have tried to remove the cache folder, the Battlenet folder (both from ProgramData), tried Scan & Repair to no avail and restarting + updating my Windows 10. Nothing has helped and I don’t want to reinstall the game if possible (I have very slow internet).

When I try to launch the game, it’s stuck on “Playing Now” and in my task manager I see, under Blizzard Battlenet App: Crashmailer_64.exe (but no actual visible window for it) and Overwatch Application

EDIT: Never mind, it just suddenly started up? I’m not sure what caused it, it didn’t work at all before. Sorry for the unnecessary topic.

Thanks for updating the thread!

It might have been an issue with the security software. Sometimes it can prevent the game for starting. If this happens again, make sure the software is properly configured to allow Overwatch to start, or try deactivating it.
