If Overwatch 2 is shutting and restarting your computer, there are a few things you can do. The first and most obvious is to reinstall the app. When you do this, you might get lucky and download an updated version. Blizzard knows about the bug, so you can be sure they are working day and night to have it resolved.

The next fix involves looking into your computer and making sure it isn’t overclocking. If you are pushing your graphics card or CPU to the maximum, this might trigger the shutting and restarting bug. So, just to be safe, check the performance of your computer while running Overwatch. If the performance is maxed out, consider adding RAM.

The third fix to the Overwatch bug is to update your GPU drivers. Just type “device manager” on the taskbar to get this done. On the Device manager window, right-click on all the aspects of your PC and choose “Update drivers.”

Last but not least, you can wait on Blizzard to fix Overwatch 2 bug for you. As said, they know that the bug exists, and since it costs them their fans and cash, they must be working overtime to fix the problem. You can also choose to install a previous version of the game as you wait on the bug to get fixed.

That’s how to fix shutting down and restarting your computer by Overwatch 2. Hopefully, the article helps.

Overwatch 2 is available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Microsoft Windows.
