I play on the EU servers, on a decent laptop. My usual ping is around 50ms or so but can drop to 30ms on a good day. It used to never push 60ms, but recently it has shot up to 360ms and has gotten stuck there. Even the launcher is slow to start up, and I have no problems with any other games either.
I use a Wi-Fi connection, but I feel like since I’ve usually had alright ping that the spike isn’t connected to my router? Either way, I tried restarting it, and checking if the actual service was down, and nothing had changed.
I never have anything downloading in the background (the only other software open is Spotify). I have the launcher closed. I’ve searched all the forums but nothing seems to work, or maybe everything is out of date, I’m not sure. I’ve tried clearing caches and the such.
I have a ping-reader installed on my desktop and right now it reads 41ms, but I just logged into Overwatch and it was 320ms in the menu alone, and it shot to 360ms as soon as the map started loading in.
It’s making the game unplayable, and I play this game a lot. Any help is seriously appreciated.
I’ve been having this exact problem for weeks man. But it happens to me on the american servers. The pse1 servers to be precise.
Same here. I thought patch might fix it but nope. It’s SO anoying.
