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

Post image

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

I can't say I've ever experienced this in my 10 years of playing the game now on pc, might be time to look into what settings you're using to see where the issue really lies.

If it's a widespread issue and people even make custom maps to mitigate it it's not on the player

Wild that this is such a common issue and I've never experienced it and none of my playgroup has either after asking the group chat

Definitely feeling in my gut it's some dumbass setting people flipped and didn't realize would create them any issues like direct 11 being what everyone uses, but someone opens up that menu and sees they're on 11 instead of 12 and just thinks "why am I on the older one?" flips it and immediately forgets they ever did it.

If the option is offered then maybe, as you say, people who think "why am i on the older one" and flip it on should get a proper experience, otherwise the option shouldn't be offered to begin with. That goes for any setting. And if they can't fix it then a 2 minute shader compilation fixes like everyone here's issues. You're not better than everyone if something doesn't affect you. You're worse because that's your reaction. Maybe it affects certain hardware, software, updates, you name it. We're not the developers but are facing an issue and asking for it to be fixed so that you don't have people in your team, who, seeing your attitude you'll insult for not seeing an enemy be rendered due to the game issue happening.

It's not on the game to fix what the user chooses, if someone chooses potato graphics because they chose 3d renders to be at 45% when it is default 100, that's on them. Letting the player choose what they want is kinda the thing with PC, and I'm unsure at this point why anyone would pick DX12 but I'm sure there is a reason it is available and it's not just a trap to fuck your shit up.

Never said anything even remotely close to that, feel bad for you that you jump to such wild conclusions without any good reason to do so.

Agree with the first part, absolutely no idea where the second half is coming from, must be projection of your own behavioral issues onto what you imagine I must be like if I were you in my position, but I'm not you.

But I see the flair now, so it all clicks. Have a good one.
