After 5-10 minutes, the game freezes and you have to close it using the task manager. I tried reinstalling the game, drivers, changed settings. Nothing helps.
My config:
geforce 940mx with 2 gb
i5-7200u
12 gb DDR4
P.s. A lot of gamers with dual-core and four-threaded CPU’s have same problem: OW2 регулярно полностью зависает 🐷 - #210 от Strafer-21814 - Техническая поддержка - Overwatch Forums
UPD: I found a thread with the same problem on reddit
UPD 2: Another one (I can’t insert more than two links, so you’ll just have to believe me)
UPD 3: I deleted the link to the reddit and insert this: [Main Thread] Game freezing with Intel i3 / Dual core CPUs
Blizz fix plz

I have the same problem
Video card: 2060ti
Processor: i3-6100
RAM: 8 GB
Crashes after 10-20 minutes of play. After turning off CPU Hyper-Threading, the crashes disappeared, but performance dropped significantly.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem: I go to the training ground or to a quick game and after 5-10 minutes it freezes tightly, but there were no prerequisites for this, stable 60 FPS, nothing lags, we can say the game works perfectly, but I repeat, after 5-10 minutes it just freezes and the game does not react in any way, even to ALT + F4, you have to create a second desktop using the Win + TAB key combination and turn off the game through the task manager there.
My configuration: GeForce GTX 750
i3-4330 (2 cores, 4 threads, L3- 4mb)
8gb DDR3
Windows 10
I would also like to add that the only thing that helped me personally and several other users from the forum was disabling Hyper-threading technology in the BIOS, this was the only way these freezes disappeared, but this greatly reduces processor performance and there is no stable 60 FPS, instead of them 30 FPS , which drop to 5 FPS in fights. Personally, I feel uncomfortable playing like this and the only thing left is to hope that this is a bug, and it can be solved not only by buying new hardware. thanks a lot

same problem 5-10 minutes of gameplay and dead freeze and it stops responding. Been an issue since beta.
pc specs:
nvidia gtx 1050 ti
intel i3-7100 3.90GHz
8 gb ddr4 ram
P.S. there was a massive russian thread with 200+ replies in 2 days where people figured out it had something to do with hyper-threading and or low L3 cache (most often less than 3MB)

GTX 960
i3-6100, two cores, four threads.
I see that everyone here is united by one feature - a two-core processor. faced the same problem, the game freezes and I have to close it in the task manager. Hyper-Threading partially solves the problem, but not for the sake of performance, you have to play at 30-50 fps, which greatly spoils the impression of the game.

I have had freezes and bluescreens particularly while in groups and at the menu screen. Had some blue screens definitely be caused by the group leader queuing up but not sure that is the case in all the freezes.

Same issue. Black screen, freeze up, only sounds.

Hyper-Threading partially solves the problem, but I lost 70-80% fps
