I have an 8 core FX 8350 + GTX 770 4GB and usually I’m able to run the game smoothly at around 240 fps, but since my monitor is 75Hz I have the frame rate locked at 85. WTH, after the WInter patch, it constantly drops to 30s every 15 seconds or less. It used to be smooth 85, GAME IS UNPLAYABLE NOW! Plus it doesn’t even feel like 30 fps either, it’s an infernal lag…

Yeah I went from 250-300fps to 100 with this patch. Had to turn on vsync for the tear/stutter. urgh it’s almost unplayable.

Supposedly. Enabling Windows Spatial Sound from the sound device settings on Windows does the trick. Haven’t tried it yet. Success rate TBD.
My computer usually runs at 240 FPS with ultra graphics turned on. But now, I’m not even getting 10 FPS and I have the lowest possible settings and reduced buffering plus vsync. This has just started happening due to this update and it’s ridiculous.

Don’t bother, it won’t doesn’t help anything.

That drop sounds like a far bigger issue than what is being reported after the update.
Are the rest of your games running alright?

It’s related to the spatial audio ‘feature’ they added in… Something that was completely unnecessary. Devs are ignoring the forums though. Otherwise this would have been looked into already.

I lost about 20 FPS, which is pretty significant given that I usually have a stable 60 FPS.

Well keep complaining about it. The devs need to take this seriously.

Amazing - Blizzard has done it again! How can they let this go live? Negligence. That’s the word.
Lost around 100 fps.
8700k at 5.2ghz, 1080ti, Ram at 3200, previously pinned at around 300, and dip to 270 at worst in big team fights, now 100 less.

Uhm, this worked for me…!
But it makes the sound strange, a bit tinny. Tried both with and without 7.1.
So have turned spatial back off.

How do you pick which Oasis map you get? I can’t seem to find the option in Custom Games.
Also, why do you pick 12 Zarya’s? Is that the mostly graphically intense? Thanks.

12 Zarya’s is what I’ve found to be the most graphically intense, yeah. And to choose what point to use you go into settings > modes > control >limit valid control points and third for example if you want only point 3.

I was having this issue too but a nice poster named meep told me I need to turn spatial audio ON in windows settings. Now I’m pushing 300 FPS on winter maps which is even better than it was before…

same i used to get 50-60 fps now i got 20-30
For some random reason Nvidia driver set my Vsync ON for ONLY Overwatch (but not inside the game). So you have to go to nVidia control panel - Manage 3D settings - Click the Program Settings tab - Chose Overwatch - Scroll down to VSYNC and disable it.
Somehow gave me “adaptive sync” where I got max 165 fps (as screen hz) and it dropped to 100 fps many times. Now that it’s off, its dropping from 300 fps to 150 instead, but that I can live with.
This helped for me.
