High latency in Overwatch can affect gameplay smoothness.
High latency in Overwatch can affect gameplay smoothness.
Hi, I just bought Overwatch and am having trouble playing it without a stable connection. My ping is usually high, but I’m getting between 100 and 600 now. I’ve checked my settings, flushed DNS, restarted the router, changed cables, and turned off Wi-Fi. I read somewhere that Realtek drivers might not work with Overwatch, but since I rely on them for internet access, I’m looking for another driver. If you can help, it would really make a difference—thank you!
It seems you're likely in the same area as the servers, possibly due to poor connectivity or high traffic. Network congestion from many users in your vicinity or household devices using the internet simultaneously could also be a factor.
