Overwatch breaking for 0 reason

[Cyndre1033]

So I am really f*cking fed up right now.  Sometimes when I open Overwatch right after updating drivers for my RX 580, I get an error that says "No compatible graphics hardware found."  I install the old drivers again, and then go through having to reinstall Aura for some reason because my GPU doesn't detect after I change drivers, and usually I'm fine.  It's a tedious process and I hate doing it, and so I avoid it as much as possible.  However, today I got off, turned my PC off, did nothing for about 2 minutes before deciding to get back on.  And the error pops up when I try to play.  I didn't update drivers, I did absolutely nothing to the PC, except when it was booting I skipped "Drive repair," which then I went back and did after Overwatch stopped booting.  Nothing.

 

Any ideas/suggestions?

What driver version are you on?

no, not yet, but I'd rather not unless I have no other choice.  Is there a possibility it would fix it permanently?  Because I'd rather just deal with the drivers TBH.  OW takes a brick to download.

17.4.4  This morning I tried to go to 17.10 or something like that and it broke, but I went back to 17.4.4 and it was fine all afternoon

Try downgrading your driver to 17.2.1. Other people have said this fixed the problem.  You can't download it officially however you can find it on guru3d.
