Been experiencing major fps drops when in team fights averaging about 5-7 fps since Jan 13 2024 when I took a break for 4 weeks and got the recent patch and microsoft update. Despite having good specs (e.g CPU is not overheating, dxdiag not detecting any problems, etc) and doing my own general troubleshooting (e.g clearing game cache, updating drivers, having stable internet connection, etc.), it is still very laggy up to today (January 17 2024). I’ve ran out of ideas to resolve this issue, need urgent help T^T.
Many thanks
P.S I play on laptop having Intel R UHD graphics for GPU. I know it is not compatible for hard gaming but suprisingly run OW2 before really smoothly.
Each new patch will be optimized to work for the minimum hardware requirements and beyond. If you’re below the minimum specs for the game, your best bet is to ask an enthusiast forum or check YouTube for tips on how to squeeze performance out of the system.
What’s the minimum specs for the game at the moment? I don’t know any enthusiast forum as this is my first time using this website so may I ask for you to recommend me to one?
Hello, so when I joined and made a post on this subreddit, someone told me it was not an issue with my specs and that I was the third person they saw with this type of issue with Overwatch 2’s performance. According to this person who commented to my post saying “a few days ago Overwatch had an unannounced update (probably a hotfix or something), since then my computer has been struggling running it where it was fine before and i’ve been playing for months. I think they f****d something up so maybe wait a bit and hopefully it’s fixed.” (Sorry about the swear word) Based off of this reply, I assumed it may be a wider issue than my specs and that something blizzard did may be the problem.
While that is possible, any “fixes” or patches going forward would be geared toward the hardware they support. Sure, it might make your hardware work again, but since it’s below the minimum specs I would not count on that.
