I have played Overwatch practically since release (with some breaks from it), and my computer handles it really well. I have an i7-4770K, 16GB ram, and a GTX 1070Ti, which is above the recommended specs for sure. But it seems that occasionally some updates “break” something for my computer and cause the CPU to be working at 100% usage, which results in frame drops. These situations happen like 50% of the time in big team fights. The last update seems to have started this problem again, and it easily becomes frustrating because my specs should not be struggling, unless I am doing a ridiculous amount of things in the background (which I’m not).
This problem seems to occur for me after new updates occasionally, and it looks like it isn’t a known bug, so here I am.
