Anyone having problems with servers

General Discussion

ever since about Tuesday, I’ve been having very high frame drops and I know for a fact it’s not my wifi or PC, is there anything wrong with the servers atm? I can usually stream OW on 1080p with no problem but now I can’t even play with my stream closed. I’ve never had problems with it but now even with nothing else running on my pc even having my wallpaper task deleted still frame drops

Frame rate increases usually don’t coincide with connection problems unless you see latency increases as well. If you are specifically seeing Frame Rate drops consider these steps:

  • Reset Overwatch’s Video Settings
  • Update your graphic card driver.
  • Reset your graphic card driver settings., then make sure that your Graphic Card Driver control panel is configured correctly for Overwatch. This includes setting Overwatch at Maximum Performance (not optimal power) for Power Management and making sure it set to run on the graphics card and not the motherboard chipset.
  • In drastic cases you may need to reinstall the driver and update to the most recent driver for your card. Remember to use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely clean out your old driver. Then download the most recent NVidia or AMD driver for your system.
  • There have been other threads reporting that updating your system BIOS can help with some performance issues with recent patches. Please be careful if you choose to update your BIOS and look up your motherboard’s instructions on how to do this.

Also here are advanced tips I have written in Overwatch’s Tech Support forum that maximize your FPS performance in the game.
