Overwatch is dropping frames since the bastion skin event update

Ever since the Bastion Brick event dropped the game has been unplayable with consistent intermittent frame drops and freezes. The game hasn’t had any problems running before and all my settings are the same.

Let me know if you get a fix for this, a friend is having the same issue

These standard tips can help resolve most Overwatch FPS drops:

  • Reset Overwatch’s Video Settings
  • Update your graphic card driver.
  • Reset your graphic card driver settings., then make sure that your Graphic Card Driver control panel is configured correctly for Overwatch. This includes setting Overwatch at Maximum Performance (not optimal power) for Power Management and making sure it set to run on the graphics card and not the motherboard chipset.
  • In drastic cases you may need to reinstall the driver and update to the most recent driver for your card. Remember to use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely clean out your old driver. Then download the most recent NVidia or AMD for your system.
  • There have been other threads reporting that updating your system BIOS can help with some performance issues with recent patches. Please be careful if you choose to update your BIOS and look up your motherboard’s instructions on how to do this.

Also here are advanced tips I have written in Overwatch’s Tech Support forum that maximize your FPS performance in the game.

its on your end not ours but thanks for the generic reply. your servers are saying dumb stuff like applying update when trying to play a match then crashing

The applying update thing is happening to me too yeah. It doesnt crash though it puts me in the match with unplayable freezing
