Game freezing with Intel i3 / Dual core CPUs

Hi guys, what did I miss? Was there an update in the game?

I mention this has helped me play without freezing, fps is constantly 58-59 and only sometimes I’d get a smooth drop. I have a gtx1050ti and i3, so you guys should be good too!

Do I use both commands or one or the other, seen conflicting statements

I have used both commands like in that message

-thread 2 didn’t do anything for me, I’m just using the first one.
Actually I do think that -thread isn’t even a valid command.

go to overwatch launcher, tap the settings next to Play button, pick game settings and the additional arguments. Put this in there and then press enter and play.

–tank_WorkerThreadCount 2 (with 2 lines no space - -)

it worked for me

doesn’t work for me, but i have amd so maybe that’s why.

Im so sorry to hear that…

it worked me thanks so much who ever did tht
Now i can run my game smoothly and play my favourite character
Even though this is not the official fix but I hope tht blizzard take a look and fix this issue globally

You still have a chance.Because this is not the official fix blizzard might take a look at this issue and fix this issue for all system and i think they are working on it currently
Because of the server crash issue i think blizzard wasnt able to take a look at issue
Hope is still in for the official fix.

Command not work for me so i have to wait until they do some update on the issue im so mad right 2 updates and nothing to help us play amazing…

After today’s update I got crash in the first game, while yesterday I could play around 10 games in a row without crashing :confused:
Btw, I have i5-7200U, not i3, so that’s not only i3 owners problem (but same 2 cores / 4 threads)
P.S. Both yesterday and today I’ve played with command -threads 2, so you can decide for youself to use it or not.

bruh this patch made it even worse for me, yesterday i could lock the game to 30 fps and play for about an hour, now it crashes in the menu

Okay, I played a game with that command and so far, everything is good.

After the update, I got a freeze after 10 seconds of the first match I joined.
Yesterday before the update, with the -tank command, I played 3 games in a row before the freeze happened. Seems the update made things worse.
