Overwatch 2: BEST SETTINGS (Guide)

[@BlizzardGuides]

Have you been experiencing the Overwatch 2 Lag/Floaty Aim bugs?? Let me know below! 👇👇

[@aerz8420]

Please make one for console

[@heyyoyoho3113]

Yes as a soldier main in ow1 my accuracy was around 48% now it is like 39%

[@theepicqronictraxxgary7982]

viewed this for the aiming stuff, helped heaps. anyways everything else is maxxed out running capped at 250fps on a pg279qm

[@Lee-One]

@@aerz8420 u can use a lot of this for console too tho

[@Igmus]

Hello, I'm trying to understand why you turned off low latency mode off in the Nvidia control panel, and then in the game settings you have Nvidia Reflex on? The Nvidia control panel activates low latency mode for games that don't have Reflex support and Reflex is just the game implementation of low latency mode. If you want OW2 to handle the low latency (Reflex) and have it not affect your other games I suggest turning Low Latency mode off in the Program settings Tab for Overwatch 2 (overwatch launcher.exe) and not in Global settings which affects all games even ones where you would want Nvidia to attempt Low Latency mode because the game doesn't have it's own implementation of it.

The healing ufuda tip is a GAME CHANGER! Makes her so much less complicated to play. Thanks!

[@Lapeocon]

Yes! I had no idea how her ammo worked.

[@Snaileys]

Omg thank you! I in no way have a bad pc but was experiencing drops in fps. Tried bringing it up in chat seeing if anyone had the same issue and I’m sure you know how helpful ow players are 🙄

[@schtroumpfstran4161]

I have the fps drop issue too. No matter I set it in Low or High, screen capped fps or custom as high as I can, even when the fps can mostly go up to >200 it drops randomly. Happens not neccessarily in teamfight with lots of effects but sometimes when I just zoom scope or melee an object.

[@Tap2Shoot]

Omg same thing on console, so annoying

[@hellfishii]

Same idea in game applies

[@chocopie1999]

yes

[@jackmeister4354]

Speaking of console, why can’t we change graphics settings in almost every game? I’d tank graphics for a better frame rate any day

[@hellfishii]

@@jackmeister4354 cuz devs optimize a certain graphical experience for an especific hardware in console but since in pc is the wild wild west of harware, devs let player optimize for their own the graphical experience.

[@MissPixil]

I didn’t expect this to upgrade the quality of my games as much as it did, thank you! It feels like OW1 and OW2 beta felt. 😊

[@teh_blazerer]

Anti-Aliasing should be anything except Low. Low = FXAA and FXAA just makes your screen blurry.

[@ZozogamiBuru]

My dude my Orisa was instantly improved with this guide you have no idea. None of the previous times I've played I've managed to get 30 kills in a single match. Thank you so much for this! I do like my graphics to look a bit more pleasing, though, so I might play around with some settings while not sacrificing as much performance. Still, this is a game changer!

[@straxan]

Btw don't set anti-aliasing to low. FXAA should be avoided since it's literally just a blur filter put over the image. For clarity you're better off with SMAA or no AA at all.

[@VVVVV99611]

I don't use it mwahaha

[@isaacwillis6042]

This needs to be addressed on console as well not sure if you’re able to take that on or if you’d need help but man something just feels slightly off and it’s really frustrating not hitting shots that I’d be hitting in OW1

Reduce buffering should be on if you have equal fps to your hz constantly

what will this setting do if you have more fps than your hz

[@mex0nn]

@@GentlyUsedFrog it won't do anything bad, but lets say you turn on reduce buffering with 120-130 fps 144 hz, it will increase latency instead of decreasing

[@GentlyUsedFrog]

[@ImDrizzt]

Thank you so much for making this, ive been looking forward to Overwatc 2 for so long, and ive been playing since launch of Overwatch 1. Ive been meddling with settings, colors, nvdia filters, nonstop, between games, in games, after sessions. And something always felt "weird" couldnt make out if it was cos of the new color scheme, i just felt, i cant stay on target. Is it because people are faster? Because dps gets speed buff, i wasnt sure. Last night I was thinking about just quitting, maybe im too old for this shit. But these changes made the game feel completely different. So thank you so much.

[@seanjohnston565]

I've watched countless guides on this topic as Overwatch 2 aim feels very different, and for me, this one by far helped me out the most even though some of the information is contrary to other videos such as in the reduced buffering advice. I highly recommend these settings here over anything else so far. Thx Blizzard guides for the help ^^

[@Prehistoric_Nerd]

If I were you I wouldn't skip on texture filtering, you get much better looking textures in the distance while barely losing any performance. And FXAA is a glorified blur filter I recommend just using SMAA because it barely effects the performance or just turn aa off completely if you want every frame.

[@Wildestleaf]

Which setting prevents my team's Winston from jumping into the middle of the enemy team, dying over and over again, and blaming the support 👍

[@DanteComerComer]

Not so much a "you setting." Sounds to me like that Winston player needs to uninstall their GPU 👍🏿👍🏿

[@vinipraion1158]

SIM isn't really the overall input-lag, but it's the actual/average frametime (which is bound to the real input lag btw)

[@TheFitnessGamer_]

Some great extra tips there with hero specific stuff too. A question though, is Fullscreen mode more optimal to borderless windowed mode? I feel that runs best when streaming and using OBS etc

[@Litherly]

better fps and less input lag from fullscreen, but running borderless windowed makes it so much easier for tabbing in and out so I personally don't mind the tradeoff.

[@TheFitnessGamer_]

@@Litherly I agree, unless when tabbing out and using game capture on OBS doesn't cause any lag then I'd see Fullscreen being the better option.

[@ghoulbuster1]

Fullscreen forces your PC to prioritize resources to the game, it will lower your lag and raise your fps by ignoring background programs.

[@Jonathan1m.]

People will say fullscreen is better, and I was that person bc I play csgo. Since I changed my computer to a better one, some games feels better and 1:1 with Windows bordeless mode, fullscreen the mouse feels heavy, so Just test what feels best also comparing your game latency with nvidia reflex on vs off ( not talking about the nvidia low latency in nvidia panel )

[@JD-ub5ic]

Scroll wheel is huge, Idk why I never thought to do that in OW I do it in WoW for a bunch of stuff. Speaking of WoW, why is it that pvp in wow feels perfect to me, no lag, abilities always land when expected, but in OW abilities consistently lag and it seems completely random when they go off, they're both blizzard games. Hopefully these settings make a difference and its just input lag, but constantly I'll be kiriko and throw a suzu, see myself or others light up as if they got it, then they die to an ability anyways. Or I'll hit teleport, hear the audio cue as if I did teleport, but again die anyways. It feels like what's going on client side has no relation to what's going on server side, what's the point of audio cue's for abilities if they don't actually mean your ability landed. Thinking you survived, just to die anyways just feels horrible to play, it's more tilting than being one shot to die to the server.

[@hakeryk]

Damn, in Video -> Resolution I had 1920x1080 (*60) and I was wondering why game is so choppy even that is showing that is 250 fps rock solid. Changing to 1920x1080 (*240) changed everything but I dunno why 60 was selected by default.

Why reduce buffering off?

[@BlizzardGuides]

Reduce buffering lowers your SIM, but at the cost of stability/consistency of the frame delivery. Since lots of people are experiencing stuttering in OW2, reduced buffering can contribute to that problem.
