Players have been having problems with Overwatch 2 on all platforms ever since it launched. The game's launch has been anything but smooth, with high queue times and a problem where users will unintentionally buy skins while they're only attempting to utilize the in-game chat. While Blizzard is working to fix these issues and offering players free cosmetics and double XP as recompense for the bumpy launch, problems persist. A recent problem that some gamers are reporting only affects PCs is that when they attempt to run the game, their computer will suddenly shut down.
How to keep Overwatch 2 from crashing or shutting down your PC
The developer has advised making sure your system satisfies the minimum requirements for the game if your computer is shutting down while running Overwatch 2. If your computer meets these requirements, the next step is to update your drivers and operating system to the latest versions. This will make your computer more stable and fix any problems with compatibility.
You can also try closing any other programs that might be consuming resources. Memory overload is a rare problem that can force computers to shut down. As a result, running too many programs simultaneously—especially memory-intensive ones like Google Chrome—can cause your computer to crash. Run the official repair tool and correct any damaged game files you may have, according to the final advice given by Blizzard on its support page.
Don't worry; you're not the only one if none of these fixes work. There are other PC players out there who are complaining about this on the Overwatch 2 forum over at Blizzard. Members of the community have reported that when playing the game, the temperature of their computers soars, and as a result of the high temperature, the CPU is protected by shutting down the computer. If this is the case, the problem lies with the game, not your PC.
