BLIZZ DEVS PLEASE FIX. Game freeze on map load & death cam, only fix is hard reboot

BLIZZ DEVS PLEASE FIX. I am so far from being the only person reporting this issue since patch. It seems that a lot of users are losing SR and being banned from comp due to this problem that is affecting many.

I’ve never had DC, crash, or freeze issues prior to the most recent patch. Since then, I have experienced my game freezing going into the map/prior to hero selection (I can still hear the music play all the way through/sounds of my team in spawn but cannot see anything), I have also experienced my game crashing right after dying - it just freezes on my death, I’m still hearing the game and in VC, but my game won’t do anything.

In both instances, the only way to fix the issue is having to do a hard reboot. I cannot even Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to Task Manager to force stop the game.

Drivers are all up to date, no background programs, downloads, overlay issues, etc. Scanned & repaired OW via Blizzard client and problem still persists.

Specs:
Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz

you are not the only one. it happens to me and all my friends and there are many topics here! Since hanzo patch this hjappens.

during games or between rounds and maps

And the killfeed is causing input lag which makes the game unsmooth, mouse movement felt slow or floaty in big fight, and the only fix is to disable it

Plss Fix
