Overwatch: Could – Error: not locate resources (0xE00300D0)

Many Overwatch: Could players encountered Error: not locate resources (0xE00300D0) when launching the game. This error pursues exclusively users of the PC version of the video game and is manifested by the fact that the application simply does not start. This problem only affects the game itself, since “Battle.net” is currently operating normally.

The exact reasons for the error code 0xE00300D0 are not yet known exactly. However, users who encountered it noticed that the appearance of the error is most often accompanied by game updates and / or the appearance of new game characters. There are many solutions offered – here is a list of the most effective ones according to reviews on different gaming resources.

Solution # 1

The first thing to do in this situation is to check if there is enough hard disk space.

To run Overwatch, the minimum required amount of free space is 30 gigabytes, but it is better to free up more space. Because if it is hard loaded and even if the video game starts, there is a big risk of a drop in the performance of the game graphics. If there is enough space, then the reason is different.

Solution # 2

Antiviruses very often cause errors when downloading, installing, launching this game, especially the pirated version. So there is a “crack” – a cracked exe-file, antivirus programs remove useful files of the game along with the “crack”. Therefore, if you get the error “Unable to find resources (0xE00300D0), your antivirus may well be the cause.
