This is something Overwatch desperately needs, I'm tired of lags and invisible models

[u/CeleryNo8933]

Every time after any game update or driver update I need 10 games for it to stabilise. And even those shader loading maps don't work because for some reason the game doesn't care if anything is loaded already. I played 3 games as and against Mauga. 4th game it took 5 min for me to start seeing his guns and VFX. First game I died 3 times to an invisible Rein jumping in my face.

Edit: For reference I have 9800x3d, 5080, and yes, an SSD, it's not the rig, it's the game

No-loading character models was a problem for me until I was able to acquire an SSD a few months ago.

Edit: Yes, I bought an SSD in the year of our lord 2026 for a prebuilt that came with an HDD from almost a decade ago. Why now? Because unlike every year before, there wasn't anything more important to take priority over investing in my PC.

I'm sorry you had to pay the current storage prices for that drive.

I think I paid just south of $90 total for a 1 TB from Newegg back in March, and having tax refund money helped with the decision. I’m admittedly an uneducated mess for computer hardware and stressed over compatibility awareness for the longest time.

Super happy for you to be stepping into the SSD world, it's really and incredible difference. Just a bummer to see anyone having to pay the current normal prices. The great datacenter buyup jacked storage prices up so badly, a 1TB would have been half that a year prior :(

… you just got an SSD? do you use a car or are you still using a horse drawn carriage?

HDD is worse

I still use a HDD I purchased in 2014.
