Overwatch has been immediately closing seconds after launching since the pre-season patch. “Overwatch has crashed in the Graphics driver.”

I see a bulletin has been posted regarding AMD fixes but no word of Nvidia.

Specs:
Intel i9-14900KF (non-overclocked)
64GB Corsair DDR5 @ 4800MHz
EVGA RTX 3070

Things I’ve done to troubleshoot:
Tried a known working GTX 1050TI
Uninstalled OW2 & Reinstalled
Uninstalled Battle.net and Reinstalled
Installed W10 on another SSD, installed OW2
Used the DDU tool in Safe Mode to uninstall all Nvidia drivers
Installed an old stable version of Nvidia driver
Installed the newest version of Nvidia driver
Installed Nvidia GeForce Experience app
Installed the new Nvidia App
Reset my BIOS settings to Default
Manually adjusted page file for virtual memory
Installed the Steam version of OW2
Verified integrity of game files
Ran /sfc Scannow, DISM, etc.
Removed each memory module and moved around each DIMM slot
Underclocked my CPU
Reduced RAM speed from 4800MHz to 4000MHz

I do see the newest driver in the latest crash report. Thanks for the info. I will chat with the engineering team and get back to you if they have any more suggestions.
