Overwatch 2 Freezes randomly during Gameplay

When playing Overwatch 2 (Practice range player or a bot game) It randomly freezes in the match (or even when playing highlights), the game stays frozen until closed through Task Manager and started up again. Cpu Usage drops when this happens. Thank you for any help.

I strongly believe that the root of the problem is the Dynamic Render Scale setting in video settings. When it is turned off everything works great, but there is a bug where it randomly defaults back to on, causing the inevitable freeze. It will be back on when you go back in the game, even if you turned it off.

I had the exact same issue in the 2nd beta and Dynamic Render Scale was the culprit.
