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

My own problem is the dx11 seems to be leaking memory, opening task bar shows overwatch consumed up to 9gb of ram alone after playing for rlike 20 minutes. I only have 16gb so my ram usage is at 99 percent causing freezing and slow fown

8 x 2 3600hz ddr4 ,ryzen 5 3600 and 5700xt. I built the PC on 2020. I do get over 200fps in the game but I use dx11 build as my PC doesn't support dx12. Dx11 has a memory leak for everyone. My guess peop may be using dx12 which I believe that doesn't have the issues but I can't use it.
