Nope, it?s not just you. The most recent Overwatch update may have brought this year?s Summer Games event with new skins, voice lines and other cosmetics to earn, but it also brought some frame rate issues causing major stuttering problems and ruining the game for a lot of players on all platforms. Blizzard has acknowledged the issues and is working on a fix for them, but there is currently no ETA on when that fix will be going live.
The Overwatch frame rate issue seems to stem from the chat box, with frames dropping anytime the game updates with a new message. This includes voice lines, emotes, and even connect/disconnect messages for players. Anything that is communicated to the player through the chat box is causing frames to drop out. For PC players at least, there?s an easy workaround by hiding the chat box, but console players aren?t so lucky. With console players frequently using quick chat messages like ?Hello? and ?Thanks? to communicate with teammates, games can stutter quite a bit, dropping frames to a very noticeable extent every time a new message pops up in the corner. Some players have figured this out and have stopped using quick chat messages, while others can use the issue to troll and grief their own teammates.
