Description
There have been reports from multiple people across Lutris forums, Reddit and Overwatch forums about Overwatch crashing randomly after what seems to be anything from 20 minutes to a few hours, with different wine versions seemingly crashing less frequently.
From these reports it seems like the crashes started appearing late April.
Common points
Log files does not seem to produce any meaningful information.
It does not crash immediately after starting. I can personally play often two or three games before it crashes.
It does not seem to matter if you are in a game or at the menu. Idling at the main menu will still crash the game after a while.
What has been tried?
Wine versions tried (all produced the crash): lutris-6.0, lutris-6.1-3, lutris-6.4, wine-tkg 5.22r2, wine-tkg 6.8
DXKV versions tried (does not seem to have an impact): 1.7.1L, 1.7.3L, 1.8.1L
Audio systems tried (does not seem to have an impact): PipeWire, ALSA, PulseAudio
Workaround
Downgrading to lutris-5.7-11 seems to work for everyone who reported the issue.
Opening an issue here hoping we can pinpoint it further and eventually get a fix. Any help gathering info is appreciated. And apologies if this is not the correct place.
