Anybody think this mega 6gb patch that’s been preloading since Friday is gonna release on Tuesday?

Or are we going to have to wait till Thursday?

I’m not sure, but I’m really curious to see what level of optimization we’ll be seeing. It seems like Blizzard hasn’t made any effort to hype it up (which is probably wise), but they have said that there will be optimizations being made. I’m hoping to get another 10-20 average FPS so I can push back up to a steady 140-160 FPS. Dips can really suck especially since they occur most often in the middle of intense firefights.

I’m also curious if my hotkeys and such will be remembered. I believe things like that are stored in appdata and shouldn’t be impacted, but I had mine deleted before and it suuuuucked going through and changing hero-specific hotkeys I had changed over years of playing.

I’m pretty sure keybindings are tied to the account now. When I moved to a new PC in February it remembered all of my control settings.

I certainly hope so. I really want to get my hands on Ashe. It has only been like a week, but it feels so long because she is new main status. Waiting for pretty much every other character was easy, except for Sombra, which literally went on to be my third most played behind only the snipers… and I am a sniper main. So yeah. This is going to be lit. BUT, I am not even expecting it on Tuesday, or Thursday, realistically. I ain’t playing that game. It will get here when it gets here. :disappointed_relieved:

Well, that’s the other question.

Do you think they are going to do the Road/Mercy/Sym/Reaper patch without Ashe?

I freaking hope so, can’t wait to one shot Mercy with Roadhog again!

If the patch is coming this Tuesday, probably. It did exist independently, so I do not see why they could not separate the update if they wanted or needed to. I would almost prefer it at this rate. My plan was to one-trick Reaper while I waited for Ashe and Blizzard did THIS. It is like, fam, I am feeling so attacked, Blizzard lowkey knows my intentions. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Hopefully, it makes zero sense to let people wait 1 month for those long overdue changes.

To avoid the current dips. If you have a custom gaming pc. Go into BIOS, and turn ON “XMP PROFILE” in your DRAM settings in your OC menu… This game is clunky when it handles RAM the way it does.

Those big dips you are finding, are because of a sourcecode fault in the game engine and how it handles game memory. I’ve been over this for awhile now, on their troubleshooting forum.

I DO hope this patch FIXES that!

GL! :slight_smile:

The more important question is: How can Roadhog drink tea with his mask on!?!!?!

I really hope so. If it does happen, could this patch also be bringing Ashe to consoles? Or is it too early for that?
