Game takes 2 or 3 minutes to launch

This started happening a few days ago. Does anyone know what can be causing this problem?

did you install any programs? i just uninstalled tunnel bear and it fixed my issue of the game not loading up fast, really weird some programs just interfere with overwatch

Please try running a scan and repair as well.

This is a known issue. A few work arounds include, launching then disconnecting the network and reconnecting helps with the launching or using hotspot/tethering or VPN like tunnelbear.

Please check the on-going thread here.

"(TunnelBear)Hi there,

Unfortunately some services (such as Discord, Teamspeak, quite a few video game servers) use ports that are restricted on parts of our network for security reasons. However, you may have better luck connecting through the following countries: US, UK, Canada, Romania, Netherlands, Germany, or Sweden. We also suggest disabling VigilantBear if you’re still having issues.

Let me know how it goes when you try to play now :)"

that answers my question but i didn’t even have it turned on weird.
