I’m just confused as to why this started happening in the first place, more than how to resolve it even.

I have an NVIDIA RTX 3060 and both of my monitors are 165hz. I’ve tried rolling back to about 5 different drivers.I verified that my PC isn’t overclocked whatsoever.I verified that no external software is tampering with the program itself.Capping to 60fps in game, as in the menus.Capping fps in game to the same as my monitor (165hz).I tried some of the things you mentioned a bit ago:

It’s truly unfortunate, I was really looking forward to playing this game a lot now that I have more free time.

Changing video settings in Overwatch “2” in attempt to fix it.

Logging in and out multiple times in game as well.

Uninstalling all games on Battlenet except for Overwatch “2”.

Uninstalling other games that could conflict with the anti-cheat: fortnite, call of duty titles, etc.

Wiping all traces of Overwatch/Battlenet off my PC, then reinstalling.

Unplugging all external items except my Keyboard and Mouse.

Closing all other applications/games on my PC, except for Overwatch/battlenet.

Deleting almost ALL third party applications such as Razer, Corsair, Riot Games, Discord, Elgato, Elgato’s stream deck software, plugins, etc.

Uninstalling/Reinstalling Overwatch “2” across multiple drives.

Uninstalling/Reinstalling Overwatch “2”.

Wiping all my drivers completely and reinstalling.

In attempt to fix this, I’ve tried many things: In everything I’ve researched trying to resolve this issue, Blizzard denies any involvement, blaming anyone but themselves. has this issue as well, blackscreens the game completely as if it’s trying to hide the “premium content” similar to Disney+ and Netflix.

Streamlabs: blackscreens, also does same as aboveĭiscord streams to friends, etc.

OBS: blackscreens, also does same as above.

Shadowplay: gets shut off when entering matches or practice range, stays on in menu.

Overwatch “2” seems to be shutting off all types of recording software.
