So a few days ago I upgraded monitors to an Alienware AW2725DM. Pre midseason patch I was able to play in borderless windowed at 180FPS. However, post mid-season patch I can not get 180FPS unless I run full screen exclusive, which I simply can not do as I need access to my other monitor.
I have tried changing high DPI settings, force optimizing in the NVIDIA app, turning off V-sync, enabling NVIDIA reflex etc. and none of those things have worked. Please help.
For additional context my hardware is as follows:
Intel i5-12500K
NVIDIA RTX3060 (12GB)
32GB DDR4 @3200
2TB Samsung 990EVO
My monitor is connected via DP (Display Port)
EDIT: thanks to Yukinobi, I was able to solve the issue.
TLDR, Use a software like revo uninstaller to delete Overwatch, Bnet and all leftover files from them. Restart your PC and reinstall.
I just noticed since last patch, i forgot when it was but i just noticed today since i wanted to play a little bit and the game is having serius performance issues.
Running the game on a PC:
CPU: Intel i7 13700k Raptor Lake
RAM: Corsair DDR4 64 GB Ram
1TB Nvme Western Digital SN770
Video Card: MSI RTX 4070 Ti Ventus 3X 12GB VRAM
The game was running smooth at 144fps few days ago just like it always do, my monitor has a maximum of 144hz so i have the fps capped to 144fps, but now since the patch or i dont know what Blizzard did recently, the game runs horrible!!, i just get like 45 fps in average during Quick Plays or any mode wtf??.
I really hope they fix this ASAP, like this its unplayable right now.
I managed to solve the performance issues problem on my PC, at least it worked for me so i would like to share in case it could help someone.
What i did is i uninstalled the game with a tool called (Uninstall Tool), make sure to use that because this one cleans every trace or any left over corrupted files, registry and stuff like that.
Once you done that, make sure to uninstall Battlenet too using that tool to clean up any possible leftover or trace from the folders and make sure there is no files left, make sure everything is clean on the route you installed the Battlenet and Overwatch2, check if there are no folders or files left, if there is something left just delete it.
Once you done that make a fresh and clean install of the Battlenet and Overwatch, and before playing i highly recommend use DDU Unistaller to clean up and uninstall your graphics card driver, then search for the most updated and latest driver of your graphics card.
And that is basically i did and it worked for me to fix the low performance issue with Overwatch.
I’ll do the Uninstaller tool then! I actually did a custom graphics install yesterday from the NVIDIA app where I deleted the old driver and installed the new one.
Also since I am now on a 1440p monitor would you say I should go into compatibility and do the High DPI settings
How do you get the uninstall “tool” versus the normal one? I can’t find that. I am having the same issues but even worse, my frames are at 20…its literally unplayable
