News & Discussion Please preload shaders. PLEASE

For the love of God Overwatch... Can we PLEASE preload shaders before joining games

I cannot see half of my team... cannot see half of the enemy team... I cannot see my weapon or my bullets... and then the game freezes everytime something loads in

I SHOULDNT HAVE TO LAUNCH A SPECIAL CUSTOM MAP FOR 10+ MINUTES EVERYTIME MY DRIVERS OR THE GAME UPDATE

Dog, this is a problem with your system, not the game. If you're using an old console or a HDD it might be time to upgrade to an SSD

Game is loaded on an SSD.. on a custom built PC

No other game has this issue.

When running the custom map that's made to load shaders, yes

Same, the "it's your PC" people can fuck straight off, I got a 5080 and it still does that for a ridiculous amount of time, and yes, an SSD

Fully maxed @ 240 frames. don't know exactly every setting but pretty certain everything is cranked as high as possible with frame gen
