Game freezing with Intel i3 / Dual core CPUs

Technical Support
1456

If it helps someone, but I don’t know

  1. Set 59 FPS maximum
  2. FullScreen
  3. Disable Dynamic render scale

At the expense of --tank_WorkerThreadCount 2 and -thread 2 commands, don’t know how much they help, but just in case I prescribed

played 9 skating rinks without freezes

PC Config:

16gb RAM

[UPDATE] → USE COMMAND IN STARTUP GAME --tank_WorkerThreadCount 4

Use Win+tab, create new desktop, open Task Manager and close the game
or
put the task manager on top of all windows

i have probably 20+ hours already on the training range fidgeting with cpu usage and game settings triying to find a workaround.failed to cross 5 minutes with no crashes in 95% of the times. ill be testing with this settings and let y’all know in 60 minutes.

1464

thanks, i’ll give it a try later

1465

maintenence in 3 hours

1466

I hope they fix this problem now

1467

glad they are aware but I wouldn’t get my hopes up it’ll be fixed this downtime unless some other fix ends up resolving our issue too

1468

there is nothing about maintenance work we now have the 08.10

1469

tried this, doesn’t work :frowning: crashed on training range

1470

and even if i think they’re just starting to work on it i don’t think they’ll have a fix for it in a few hours

1471

can’t, that’s the funny thing, can’t see any other window other than ow2

1472

But this card series is listed on your supported page: Overwatch 2 Supported Video Cards - Blizzard Support

Very confused. It’s not that old of a card
