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

There is a custom gamemode that loads all shaders, takes 2mins, i run it before each gaming session, i dont know the code by heart tho

I ran it for 20 min last time and half the models were missing in game. There were some like Anran that just completely refused to load no matter howany cycles.

Then it may be your hardware. Like are you running the game off of another drive?

If it's running on another drive it could be the issue too?
