Reinstall GPU drivers
Most players reporting an Overwatch error 0xe00101b0 found that their graphics drivers were the issue. If this is the case, you can follow these instructions to do a clean uninstall and reinstall:
- Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller).
- Run the program and restart in Safe Mode when it prompts you.
- Once you’ve entered Safe Mode, DDU should pop back up. If not, launch it again.
- Select your GPU brand from the drop-down.
- Choose “Clean and Restart.”
- When your PC reboots, launch a browser and download the latest drivers for your GPU.
- Install the drivers and restart your PC.
If you follow the above instructions, it’ll clear any corrupt drivers. However, the issue may be that a newly released driver is causing problems with Overwatch 2. If this is the case, follow the above instructions, but instead of downloading the latest drivers, grab an older version and see if that works.
