I currently have a DSL connection and a Starlink internet connection, the DSL gives low latency to play Overwatch and Starlink gives much better download speeds for everything non-gaming. Right now, I want to stream to twitch with my Starlink connection and play Overwatch on my DSL, but no matter what I do Overwatch will switch over to the Starlink connection occasionally giving me horrible ping compared to my DSL. It’s random too, I can play 3 games and it will use my DSL connection in each of those and then the fourth game, without restarting, it will switch to my Starlink connection. I have no control over this. I can disable my Starlink connection if I’m not streaming, but obviously I need the connection turned on if I want to stream and play at the same time. In OBS, there is a setting to force bind OBS to a specific network adapter, so that covers my bases with OBS, but there is no such settings in Overwatch. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and could find a work around. I have tried using ForceBindIP but I couldn’t get it to work with the blizzard launcher. Thanks!
You may be using faulty cable or the adapter crashes if it is switching to the slower connection on its own.
Nope, both of my connections are completely stable. No problems with the cables or adapters at all in any application, no crashes either. Overwatch just likes to switch between the 2 at random, and I have read other threads of people have the same issue years ago.
