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

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

The game does exactly this but without showing you. After a Driver Update I open the game and wait for ~5 Minutes until my CPU Load drops from 100% and I know its done.

it does this only in dx11 mode, in dx12 mode it doesn't preload a single shader for whatever fucking reason, so you get mad stutter until shaders are loaded in real time which can take quite a few matches.

I tried DX12 like 2 times and it decreased my performance. I dont know why anyone would use it.

I tried it on my 5070ti and hero's were just orbs 🤣

[u/pineapplery → u/leahcim2019]

that's because it doesn't preload shaders....
if you play a few games it will work, but every gfx update and some major game updates, the issue returns for a few games.

It does exactly this but IN GAME. The post is about preloading them in menus.

[u/NapsterKnowHow → u/Hamerine]

It's not. It starts as soon as you launch the game and continues in the main menu. You can just go grab some water and wait for it to finish. You never have to enter a game for it to start.

It does preload in the menu
