I have been suffering from FPS drop since the patch came out. I also updated the latest Nvidia GPU driver. Still do not know whether the driver or the patch was the cause of the issue. Anyone with the same issue? Plz let me know, thank you.
I’m in the same boat. The OW patch and the Nvidia update happened at the same time. I don’t know what the culprit is. I can’t find a way to rollback my Nvidia drivers either.
I went from a smooth 144fps for years to unplayable stutter. Everything is set to low as it always is.
I’m running an i9-9900k and GTX 1080.
Blizzard pls fix. The game is in a state that literally can’t be played. It stutters and grinds to a full stop every 2 seconds.
EDIT:
Okay, it seems as though if I go into training for a bit, the game smooths out.
Whenever I used an action that required a new animation of model, the game stuttered to a stop. After I used that action, it didn’t affect performance anymore.
For example, I entered the training room as Ana. The first time I fired, it stuttered. After that, no more. The first time I scoped, stutter. Then I could scope all I wanted and it was fine. When i anti-d the bots for the first time, stutter. Then afterwards, the nade behaved fine. Same for healing a team bot, damaging an enemy bot, etc.
Seems like maybe the client is having trouble loading in assets? But I’m playing off a perfectly healthy SSD and no other game is having this issue.
Me too. When I started firing after I just logged in the game, it became laggy. However, if I spend sometimes in the training, it smooths out. Therefore, I think the fps drop is caused by the new patch. Do you know any ways for us to contact the blizzard staffs for fixing the problem?
I’ve been researching this issue as it’s also happening to me. I believe it’s the Nvidia drivers that are causing the issue. I’m not sure which patch is to blame for the errors, but when I rolled back my driver to 456.38 the issue was resolved.
You need to rollback drivers in your device manager. Under display adaptors, right click your graphics card and select properties. Select the Drivers tab. Click on Roll Back Driver.
You’re only able to rollback one previous version of your driver, so if you want an older version than that, simply go to Nvidia’s website and find the driver download. It will install itself as if it was a new driver and you should be set.
