So I’ve been having trouble with memory usage on Overwatch 2 since last patch, it was running perfectly before; now, out of nowhere it crashes and even shuts down my computer.
This happens due to a constant increase in ram usage as I have the game open. I have tried everything. Drivers fresh install, game fresh install in battlenet and steam, even formated my whole pc and no fix. (I have screenshots but don’t know how to add them to this post, apologies)
Do you want no help? Because that’s how you get no help…
As for the issue at hand, there are million and one other things that can cause these kinds of issues. I’d advise closing and disabling any external apps that might be running. Especially keyboard and mouse type softwares or anything with overlays. Basically, anything that can hook into processes like external apps, overlays, reshade, hacks, etc. Sometimes certain security softwares can screw with memory management, so try disabling them and/or uninstalling and using the default Windows Defender(pretty much the best and most reliable anyways).
Make sure you’re on the latest GPU drivers and that your Windows is fully up to date (23H2 is the latest build).
