Lag for the first 30-40 minutes of loading ow

Horrible lag and low fps for the first 30-45 minutes after starting the game. I’m talking like 10 poopy fps. Running into walls and dead before i see my character leave the spawn.

If i simply let OW sit for 40 minutes before playing a game it’s fine. If i try to play the lag will be awful for the first 3 or 4 games then it will run fine.

No other game or program is affected. my gpu, cpu, and heat levels are all reading fine throughout the problem. No errors in logs. For reference, I can literally run BDO on remastered with no issues. Only ow lags.

This has been happening for over 6 months, since before blizzard CEOs harassed that woman into suicide. In combination with the known voice chat bug forcing me to restart… the game is now totally unplayable.

I’ve attempted a number of fixes from other threads. I have even reinstalled. No luck so far.

Would appreciate any ideas since i’m all out.

Is your hard drive mechanical or ssd? How old is it? Do you have at least 15% free on it?

Old hard drive is probably the culprit.
