[Main Thread] 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:

GTX1050Ti
i3-7100
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

#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
