So I recently moved temporarily to another country (from NA to Europe), and ever since, I’ve been having this very very very annoying problem with Overwatch. As said in the title, whenever I click “Play” in the BattleNet app, the game starts, screen shows “Entering game”, then poof, Wi-Fi crashes (or the Router simply disappears from the Wi-Fi list), and the game says “Lost Connection to servers”.
Worst thing is (I run the game in windowed borderless), if I press the Windows button (that shows the taskbar) when the game starts (I can then see the game screen as well as the Wi-Fi icon), the Wi-Fi doesn’t crash or disconnect until I get into the game.
The rest of my computer works fine, when I connect back to the Wi-Fi, everything works fine except the internet is slightly slower than usual for a good 30 seconds, then back to normal. If I try to play again, same thing happens, over and over and over.
The router itself and the Wi-Fi broadcast both work perfectly, this issue is only on my computer (anyone else using it doesn’t notice anything, and yes I’ve tried when no one is connected, still nothing). I would use an Ethernet cable, but the router is too far, and I don’t really have a way of connecting it to my computer.
I’ve been trying to solve this for the past week, to no avail, I’ve been googling, troubleshooting, nothing. My firewall and antivirus are off, no software on the computer other than Overwatch, BattleNet, and Windows are running that could use up the internet and make it crash. Also I’d like to point out the first 2 days Overwatch worked fine, and as far as I know there hasn’t been an update since.
Here are my specs:
Windows 10 x64
Intel Core i5-7600HQ 2.50GHz
Nvidia GTX 1050 4GB VRAM
8GB Ram
250GB SSD
2TB HDD
I hope someone can help me solve this, as I’ve gotten a warning that I might get punished for leaving too many games early (I never leave games early) while trying to solve this, and I don’t wanna risk it.
