If it’s not is not available, select the specific game from the drop down list. Select the game to change the graphics processor under “Select a program to customize”.Right click on the desktop and launch NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings.
OVERWATCH ONLINE FREEZES UP INSTALL
Once the driver install has finished, change the Nvidia settings so that the game is using the Nvidia card:
Then I would recommend doing a Custom install and selecting the ‘Perform a clean installation’ option. Run the installer and select the Nvidia Driver option only. You can find a guide on using this program here.Īfter this, pick up the latest driver from here.
OVERWATCH ONLINE FREEZES UP DRIVERS
While you have already tried updating the driver, in this case I would recommend a clean driver reinstall which may help remove any old drivers that were left over.įirst, remove the current driver files by using the third party driver remover DDU. It looks like there are Nvidia TDR errors, which can happen for several reasons. I have had my PC for a year and a half and have played Overwatch consistently and have never run into any problems with it, especially not of this magnitude to make the game unplayable, and it has me totally stumped. I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling, restoring default settings, updating drivers, maximizing performance in anyway I could, clearing caches, updating Windows, restarting my computer, and just about every other simple fix I could find online. Running Overwatch with the task manager performance tab open and everything seems to be completely normal. I know its not a network issue because I have no connection issues in other games and in Overwatch I do not get the orange icons notifying me of a network error. I have tested nearly every other game I have installed on my PC and all of them are working just fine, so I don’t think it’s a hardware issue. Selecting a character takes several seconds due to the animations slowing things down, shooting or using abilities freezes the game for a couple seconds, getting hit freezes me beyond death and into the next respawn. I took about a two week break from playing Overwatch and came back a few days ago only to find that any time I was in a game it was completely unplayable.
