Game Freeze joining comp game

Joining Route 66 game in comp, game froze and needed to restart PC

Happened to me too, on another map. It’s only been since the new patch, so it’s something to do with that. Keep reporting this until it gets resolved. Something isn’t right for sure.

Yes, it happens alot since patch on PC. keep reporting

Yep, I have gotten this too. Going into both Numbani and Route 66 so far. 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.

Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
