Same issue here. I used to get a solid 144Hz at vsync. Now it runs at 100 - 120.

EDIT: My system is a dual Intel Xeon X5677 (3.46GHz, 2x quad-core), 24GB of RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1080. Also, after starting up the game a few hours later, I seem to be back to my normal frame rate. So odd…

exactly! also getting lag spikes / the game is just not running smoothly but all only happens after the winter update. how disappointing. yeti hunter also bugs out where winston gets ult again 1 sec after his ult finishes. not just once either!
please fix this.

Same here. Sometimes even as low as 90 fps where it was at a consistent 144 fps before (190 fps without vsync).

Same here… FPS is normal at start of match but drops significantly during skirmishes.

I’m dropping frames like crazy as well. My two year old laptop usually runs at 70 FPS in game but it drops to about 35-40 randomly. It’s super annoying. Please fix.

Same spec as you, although I cap my FPS at 150fps . Seeing frames drop to 120 fps in QP sometimes

I have heard this is related to the headphone audio change.

I wasn’t able to spot any options regarding the audio change. But the constant sound glitches suggests it was applied passively and it might be the culprit.

i dont have good PC with i5 4760k and 1060 gtx … at Training map i was hitting almost 300fps on low settings , now im at 150fps … and GPU usage is barely hiting 10% , when i go to ultra i have same fps and about 50% gpu usage

So it definitely seems to be something among the lines of the game engine not pulling enough resources.

I’m having the same issue, I also noticed that my GPU is running a lot cooler than usual. doesn’t seem to be going over 50C when it’s usually around 69C

Exactly same. IMO OW doesn’t load full GPU power after this patch.

V-sync seems to help a bit. And also the spatial sound fix too
