▷ How to fix rendering device missing error in Windows 7, 8 Y 10?

The error “your rendering device is lost” occurs when playing Overwatch; while in the middle of the game, the application does not process your game. This error peaked in late 2017 and it's one of the deadly mistakes you lose your SR points for. You will not be able to reconnect in the required time during a competitive match and will face loss of points.

This mistake was very big and was recognized by all the players (that is to say, Blizzard, NVIDIA, AMD, etc.). The fixes for this bug are pretty straightforward. They are a needle in a haystack to find out, but once you do, it's a piece of cake. Take a look below!!

Solution 1: check running apps

The first solution is the simplest; you should check your background by running apps and see if they are causing the problem. Background applications share your CPU resources with the application that is running in the foreground. In this case, its foreground app is Overwatch. If the game entered a resource race with any other application, may not continue to run or render graphics.

1. Press Windows + R, scribe “taskmgr” in the dialog box and press Enter.

2. Once in the task manager, navigate to the »Processes» tab and see all applications $ 0027extra $ 0027 That are running. For instance, if you have google chrome running, it may consume a lot of CPU resources.

1. Kill all background processes and make sure only Overwatch is running. Close the task manager and try to start the game. Make sure you don't cancel important Microsoft services.

Tip: It was also observed that $ 0027 when dialing $ 0027 playing with other apps triggered the error condition, so please refrain from doing it once you have started playing.

Solution 2: check the power supply and disable overclocking

Another solution that seemed to work for many users was disabling overclocking of their processors. Overclocking allows your processor to do short bursts of processing for more processing power. This continues to happen until it reaches the threshold temperature to which it normalizes. It seems that overclocking your CPU or GPU may cause the error condition.

In some cases, subclocking the modules seemed to work. Strange, truth?

Another point that you should consider is your power supply. The PSU (power supply) converts AC to low-voltage regulated DC for the operation of your computer's internal components. If the power supply is not working properly or there is not enough power for your GPU, the game may crash and the error message will appear.

• Make sure the power supply has enough power to power all the hardware in your system. Especially when the GPU is receiving a full load from the game.

• Make sure all power cables are properly connected to all other modules.

Solution 3: check the SuperFetch service

SuperFetch preloads most applications it uses into main memory, not just based on your usage patterns, but also when you use them. It has two purposes; Decreases the time it takes to start and ensures that the application you open frequently loads more efficiently. It also takes real time and analyzes your usage patterns to adjust them.. Overwatch officially stated that for the game to work properly, SuperFetch must be enabled and working.

1. Press Windows + R, write »services. msc »in the dialog box and hit Enter.

2. Once in the services, browse through the list until you find »SuperFetch«. Right click and select Properties.

1. Set the startup type to »Automatic» and click »Start» if the process is not running yet.

1. Press Apply to save changes and exit. Now check if Overwatch works as expected and doesn't crash.

Solution 4: adjust GPU settings

Another solution to try before updating the drivers is to adjust the GPU settings. The main problem that this error shows in the first place is due to the GPU drivers. Downloading or updating the GPU requires a lot of time and patience.

Check your GPU settings and try changing some settings according to your hardware. For instance, you can disable GPU upscaling if you are using AMD or disable image stabilization. It completely depends on the hardware you are using and the specifications.

Solution 5: Reverse / Update graphics drivers

As mentioned earlier, the last solution that works for almost all cases is to downgrade the graphics drivers. It seems that the driver update brought unexpected errors in the operation and forced Overwatch to stop mid-game. To solve this problem, you can update the graphics drivers to the latest version (we are updating because manufacturers like AMD released a dedicated update to fix this issue) or downgrade the drivers to an older version.

Before upgrading or downgrading, we can try to install the default drivers and see if this fixes the problem.

1. Download and install the Display Driver Uninstaller utility.

2. After installing Display Driver Uninstaller (GOD), start your computer in safe mode.

3. After starting the computer in safe mode, start the DDU we just installed.

4. After starting the application, select the first option »Clean and restart«. The application will automatically uninstall the installed drivers and restart the computer accordingly.

1. Start your computer in normal mode, press windows + R, type »msc» in the dialog box and press Enter. Most likely the default drivers will be installed. Otherwise, right-click on any empty space and select »Scan for hardware changes«.

This step will install the default drivers on your computer. Now try running Overwatch and see if the error condition keeps popping up. If so, continue with the next steps.

1. Now there are two options. Or you can search online for the latest driver available for your hardware on the manufacturer's website, as NVIDIA, etc. (and install it manually) or you can let Windows install the latest version on its own (check for updates automatically).

2. We will take a look at the manual installation. Right click on your hardware and select »Update Driver«. Select the first option “Search my computer for driver software”. Select the first option if you are updating automatically.

1. Find the driver package you just installed and completely shut down your computer before restarting it. Now check if this resolves the error condition.

Suggestion: you can also run Windows Update from Settings and try to check if there is an update available for your computer.
