So I just reinstalled OW for the first time in years and the game is now a glitchy mess. First hurdle is getting the screen to work, only an eighth of the top of the screen is visible so I gotta Alt+Enter to force windowed mode. Full screen just doesn’t work.
Now the MENU SCREEN is laggy as all hell, despite my pc being almost five times more powerful now than it was when I last played. Getting into a game is now impossible, I click to enter a unranked match and after 30 seconds I get kicked back to the login screen with the message “Error applying update. Unknown error (0)” and when I click “More info” the suggested fix that doesn’t work is to reinstall anything. Closing the game takes the blizzard app five minutes tor recognize that its closed, blizz app is eating up 25% of my cpu??? Fix update bug, game is now horrendously laggy despite, again, my PC having five times the power.
How is the game this broken and poorly optimized? How did you break everything in a couple of years?
Can you post your settings file? Location: C:\Users[username]\Documents\Overwatch\Settings\Settings_v0.ini
