Overwatch 2 Performance Issues
Hello I'm currently experiencing performance issues on Overwatch 2.
1.When I launch the game on steam it takes a little while to start.
2. When I load into a game it takes me a long time to connect to it, there have even been times when I was kicked out of the game due to inactivity.
3. During the beginning of the game the textures of the characters take time to appear making the game freeze and during the game I encounter drops in Fps until the game freezes completely sometimes even making my entire system unresponsive.. I've already gotten penalties in the game lasting up to 8 hours π’
Does anyone have an idea on why I have those problem?I am using the experimental proton and my setup is as follows:
CPU : Intel i7-7700k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080
RAM : 16 Gb

try proton-ge i guess
i used proton-ge and havent had any issue, im on 7800 xt tho
I have tried and nothing changes unfortunately
which version did you try?
just read that the latest one have perf regression
Yeah I saw it I have tried 9-12
Found the part solution have to delete steam_dev.cfg that was also slowing down the build for the shaders then the game launched. I have also repair the game and use proton-ge 9.12
Everything is working except some lags that i have while in game i have to return to the desktop and rego to the game.. I think i need to upgrade my ram to 32 GB or maybe all my system ?
i dont think ow 2 is that ram heavy but i never ran ow2 in linux using less than 32gb ram. Did you try some launch option in protondb? may help your problem
You mean the launch option in Steam ?
yes
And what can I put on (I have never touch this tbh)
Try adding GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 DXVK_HUD=compiler %command% to your launch options, I see quite a few people using that on ProtonDB.
Well there are a lot of things that happened in one day.. the commands worked but only for two hours after the same thing.. and as a bonus my gpu gave up after 7 years. I bought a new one s AMD and upgrade my ram to 32 Gb. I have play maybe 2-3 hours no issues at all I think the problem was really my gpu that was old
Sorry to hear that! I'm glad it seems to be working fine now
