Why does Overwatch 2 say “DPC Watchdog Violation”?
Overwatch 2 says “DPC Watchdog Violation” because there is a conflicting program (Nvidia Broadcast) on your PC.
It can also happen because your graphics card is outdated or incorrectly installed.
Many players complained about bad visuals on the Blizzard forums.
“I have had no issues with Overwatch 1, but since starting to play Overwatch 2, I keep getting the Blue Screen of Death. There’s a “DPC Watchdog Violation” error every time I try to play Overwatch 2. I can join four games before it happens or it can freeze in the queue when I’m trying to join a match.”
“My mistake was ‘DPC Watchdog Violation’ and that’s not what happened when I launched Overwatch. It happened randomly while I was playing. Sometimes 15 minutes and sometimes 3 hours.”
“Here too, I just got on and it crashed within 20 minutes. Yesterday it happened about 3 hours after launching the game. I’m running NVIDIA 1660 Super with no background apps, Razer Chroma turned off, updated drivers for SATA controller and SSD Firmware.
