Overwatch running at 2MBps!
Overwatch running at 2MBps!
Overwatch consumes more bandwidth because it handles richer media and higher-resolution assets. The Elder Scrolls Online is optimized for lower data usage. You might reduce Overwatch’s impact by lowering in-game settings, using compressed files, or checking your connection speed. Adjusting these can help balance performance and data consumption.
MMOs usually lag more in upload/download performance compared to FPS titles such as Overwatch. To be honest, during the time it takes to launch Overwatch on my PS4 via Ethernet while I'm using Skype on my PC (with the console far behind on a monitor stand and TV centered), I often jump straight into WoW and handle emails or files before returning focus to the console. This is on 8000kbps down and 384kbps up ADSL 1...
However, 2MBps isn't typical for a game; games usually operate between 5 and 20 KBPS. They mainly send small packets of coordinates and actions. Overwatch previously had around 20 KBps on my connection, which confirms it's unusual. BF4 uses about 30.
