Yep, same here. Me and my team (we´re 5 stack) actually lost a Comp game today because our random decided it´s fun to spam “group up” for like, 2 minutes or so.
The game stutters HEAVILY if ANY message appears on screen.
No matter if it´s “XY changed hero” or if it´s any communication, every single written message causes the stuttering.

More than 24 hrs are passed and the game Is still unplayable. Last time It frozed completely my PS4 and I needed to shutdown forcely. For now I have Just uninstalled the game to avoid any damage. I think that this issue Is more serious than It seems.
I hope they actually fix it, and make it so you can disable the voice comm at will, it is kinda annoying when people spam the comms anyway.

It got better for me for a while but in the last two games I just played the lag re-appeared and made the game stutter harder than before. It made my character/game freeze for a second when a voiceline was used.
Yeah same here, I stopped playing it, cause people start trolling with it. Overwatch is awesome and we love the game for this interacting but right now we gotta tell each other to stop using the communication… I’m playing pn PS4 too. Just Keep updating us so we know how long to wait for it, that would be helpfull.
It’s happening to my friends and me.
I’ve been playing on PS4 with some friends and we all have been experiencing this to varying degrees and not always at the same time as someone else is experiencing it.
Anytime there’s dialog on the left side of the screen, whether it’s a group up line, need healing or some one joining or leaving the game, the match stutters.
There are times where I’ll play briefly and the problem starts right away or I can play for a couple hours before it starts doing it.
I’m wondering if it’s map specific, now that I think about it…
Please report any player which takes advantage of this issue to throw matches. I have a list of names which I can share in private (PS4)
This issue is horrible. When it happens to me it freezes and logs me out of the game. So it looks like im leaving in the middlenof a game. Who can i report that to so indont get penalized??!??!?!?!?
Any updates on this? When will this be fixed?
I’m also on PS4 and can’t stand those who are trolling with this bug. I continue to play daily because I love this game, but the stutters/lag trolls are going to ruin this game for those of us who just want to play the event.
Same issue here they said that they fixed it but that seems to be a joke.
Hello and greetings! I wanted to give you a heads-up. That the patch has helped the frame-rates some, but it still has really heavy dips on it and it seams as though the game is not requesting more of the GPU to be used. I know you are working on the problem and I hope some extra feedback helps.
I see the task manager showing me that the game really isn’t taxing the GPU, but instead it is utilizing ALOT of the CPU.
Each patch seams to shift MORE and more of the game being used by the processor more than anything else. I dont know if you could see to it that whomever works on the “engine” part of this game to see if they could tweak that a bit and see where that puts the game. I dont know much about scripting much more when it comes to asking windows to handle a set amount of processes, but when I see Overwatch being the only game that does this. I’d like to pass this off to the software engineers that this game struggles with that.
I know that other titles utilize both pieces of hardware just fine, but it just seams as though whatever card a person puts into the computer and whatever drivers or settings are used. Overwatch doesn’t assign tasks to the GPU to handle the graphics of the game.
Thank you!
3 days and the game is still unplayable, I’ll be on Apex until it’s fixed.
Please let us know if you are still experiencing this issue. We rolled out potential fixes across all platforms.

I don’t really know if it’s cause of the voicelines, but my game is actually unplayable. I play on PC and when I don’t have to throw because I can’t even move my character and there’s constant stuttering; it randomly kicks me out of the game because “a problem with the connection”. I haven’t even tried to play ranked cause I’m only 30s in a match and the problems start. And I tried EU, USA servers and PTR. Same thing everywhere.
maybe it’s cause I’m too nice and the problem solves itself if I don’t say hello to my teammates? lmao this is absurd
Edit: I posted it at the same time the QA Lead posted and yes, I’m still experiencing it. I tried to play and yet AGAIN the game kicked me out and I keep having the extreme stuttering.
Same here I play on PC, everytime I use de voice lines my game flash in a blue/red colors and drop the framerates. I stopped playing over because of this bug!
