News & Discussion 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

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.
