Please help. I have tried everything

General Discussion

Ever since the Ashe patch this game has been, well I am not going to put it lightly been running like sh*t. I have made two other posts talking about this hoping that some dev will respond and be like “Yea we know about this and we are looking into it/working on it” (If I have missed a dev talking to someone else about this problem I apologize) but I am getting very annoyed with this :frowning:

My game is an absolute stuttering mess about 80% of the time. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! I have even gotten a new video card since my first post and the game is still stuttering so bad. Not a single other online game suffers from this horrible stuttering on my computer and I even play WoW which is obviously another Blizzard title.

I have tied reinstalling the game (Several times) I even bought a new SSD and move OW onto it instead of a normal hardrive.

I have repaired the game.

I have deleted the Bnet cache several times. (Was a tip on the old forum)

I have disabled powershell. (Also a tip on the old forum)

I run this game on LOW everything with a constant 100FPS and I can easily do it on ULTRA everything and still have 100FPS so the graphics are not the problem.

I have VSYNC forced off in my NVIDIA panel.

I have tried having absolutely nothing besides OW running while I play.(Not even discord)

There are probably a few other things too that I have done but I honestly can’t remember because I have tried EVERYTHING!!! If anyone else knows some magical spell I can do to fix this please tell me because that’s about where I am at.

Sorry for the long post but I am just getting frustrated.

Have you tried writing a custom .BAT file to disable HPET?

I’d post this in technical support too.

Not sure what you should do other than that though, sorry.

I have potato pc and it runs 180 fps smooth. I would follow instructions on tech forum. Use the apps and post the data for devs to trouble shoot or however it works, I dunno I haven’t done it in a while

My two other posts were in the bug section but I didn’t get a response =/ I’ll post there later if nobody can help. Ty :slight_smile:

Oh, looks like you can do it without a BAT file.

Search " Device Manager " on your PC.
Scroll down to " System Devices " and open the sub-menu.
Scroll to " High Precision Event Timer ".
Right click it and select " Disable ".
Restart your computer.

A lot of modern stuff doesn’t even use HPET, it uses TSC, but it still runs HPET even though it’s clogging up your system with unnecessary calculations.

I’m sorry to hear this, technical problems are always so frustrating to deal with. My only guess is that there could be a problem between to your internet connection and the Overwatch servers. I’m not a technical person at all, but judging from what you have tried, it seems like the only thing you haven’t looked into.

I honestly don’t believe it’s this (I could be wrong though) My MS has always been the same since day 1 of Overwatch. I sit between 45-51MS

Check what applications are running in the background, I had some issues a while back and it turned out my cloud backup service was actually chewing up a ton of resources trying to keep up with whatever temporary mess OW creates.

I…I love you random internet stranger…So far I have not had a single stutter in my game. Holy crap. Best xmas gift…I wish I got you something! haha. I am so overly happy right now.
