Overwatch 2 is Official

Patch launched today, only had a chance to play some stadium.

New UI, could take it or leave it. It's just there, not fussed really either way.
New stadium icons, awful. The old ones did the job.
Not sure why they took away Ashe's incendiary rounds. I get why they took away the dynamite builds, but incendiary rounds were skill, only got any value from them if you can consistently hit targets.
Stadium needs a hotfix. I'm not sure why, but it's not letting everyone in. Some people on both teams are getting stuck on character select until you get kicked for afk, then you can rejoin and it's fine. I never got stuck once, I'm not exactly running a powerhouse here (11400, 32GB, 1070ti), but was always first in as well on my game, maybe gen 4 ssd? Will need a patch.
Still get punished for playing wired on a good connection in region. Still dieing around the corners, while other people can ignore clear hits (normally same person). Did ask a season on two ago with a video why these don't count even with shooters advantage, and apparently that's only on the same tick, but getting sick of tbh. 18ms, wired, no packetloss, I die miles around corners, while others can ignore hits because it's wrong tick.

Not overwatch related specifically, but really getting fed up with the pandering to bad connections (well normally bad wifi).

Overwatch bends me over for having a good connection.
Fall Guys bends me over, a bad connection is such an advantage there that players play out of region or use clumsy to tamper for it.
Mario Kart bad connection is an advantage.
For Honor, bad connection is abusable for advantage.
Sonic Transformed, bad connection is more often than not an advantage.
Last Of Us MP. bad connection lets you run rampant, they did patch it so people with bad connection got frozen, but then undid it and let them run rampant again.

It never used to be like this :(.
 
Hi team. I'm having real issues with stuttering, delays, FPS all over the place and all round general nonsense but only in this game. 5800x3d, 5070ti, 32GB, 175Hz MSI OLED so not the flashest but more than enough for this game, no? Where would you start to fix things up?

Yes you should get hundreds of FPS with this... have you tried using DX12?

DX11 and make sure that in the graphics settings you've got it set to your highest refresh. For some reason you can pick each refresh rate individually in the resolution settings - it's caught me out a couple of times.
 
Only Stadium, but managed to climb up to 417th on dps. Now I have to fight to stay there for the next month to get the title.

I think Blizzard just broke something/something is effecting a lot of people since this season started.


I've seen many similar topics since the season started.

I'm only running an 11400, 32gb ram and a 1070ti, but before this season Stadium was a locked 140, this season it often dips in team fights to 130. Not the end of the world, but definitely a performance degradation. Teammate plays on an rx580 and 5820k, was getting 120ish before this season, now dips to 100.

Normal mode is ok. Seems like Blizzard broke something for some players.
 
There is another bug where if you backfill into a quick play match, you FPS will dip to literally sub-20 fps, jump up to like 60, then dip way back down again. I run 180fps normally. Infuriatingly, it's been in the game for at least a year, and they've done nothing to fix it. Maybe if the other bug is affecting ranked as well as QP, they'll actually bother looking into it at least.
 
Can't find a source, but I've seen multiple people say Blizzard have changed something with the anti-cheat and that's causing it. Someone even went as far as to play on the global servers and then play on the Chinese servers that use a different anti-cheat.
. Global server has far worse performance.

For me, the drops only happen in stadium or at least I've only noticed it there, but I do tend to play stadium more. Being server side would make sense as any time I noticed a team fight has dipped to 130, if I watch it back in replay viewer, it's locked 140.

Hope Blizzard sort it out, if it is a new server side anti-cheat, it's not very good. I've had no mmr rollback since they added it, despite having someone blatantly turn on a bot as soon as they started to lose.

Probably completely non related but when I had issues with games stuttering etc it was MSI afterburner FPS overlay.
 

Blizzard are investigating the issue. So whatever the cause is, it’s got enough traction to get Blizzard to look into it.
