Overwatch memory leak / high resource usage — any fixes?
I’m having an issue with Overwatch where it seems to gradually consume more RAM over time (memory leak–like behavior). The RAM just dosen't seem to decrease ever. Never had this issue before but it started around when Shion came out
I have set fps cap to 60, i have lowered the settings almost as low as i could and it still does this. I have searched online for fixes but there doesn't seem to be a well known fix (from what im aware of), i have tried to repair the files aswell trough battlenet launcher but still to no avail.
Has anyone else run into this? If so, have you found a fix or any settings/workarounds that help (PC specs, drivers, Windows settings, in-game settings, etc.)?
