Why does Overwatch run so well on literally every machine? Meanwhile other games which are equal in terms of graphics run like absolute fucking garbage even if you've got a beast PC.>inb4 hurr durr bcz overwatch is a 10 year old gameIts graphics get improved like every year when they update the game's engine, to the point that the lighting is insane nowadays.

>>108064262It's more a question for hardware and graphics engines.

Blizzard spent time building an engine for the game and they had people who could do it. That's it.
>>108064341thanks
>why does thing that gets updated every year for a decade run so well
>>108064245what makes a game look nice is usually what techniques you choose not to use, rather than the ones that you dogod forbid you include any reflections and any dynamic shadows besides the characters
>>108064245Blizzard might not be what they used to be, but their games have always been well optimized
antibloat campaign notice how it looks very flat and clean?
>>108064245>>108064266A game having a nice art direction and being technically impressive are two separate things. How do people not understand this?
>>108064245Overwatch was programmed by 100% white people.
>>108064445those are absolutely not separated. wtf are you talking about? they're both constantly in a tug of war with each other during game development.
>>108064451I'm saying that a game looking nice does not mean that it's automatically difficult to run. It's like thinking that crash bandicoot should require better hardware to run than cyberpunk 2077 because you like how crash bandicoot looks more than cyberpunk.
>>108064411except the the part where wow addons kill your performance because everything still runs on a single lua thread
>>108064451there are what, 4 characters running around like counter strike 1.5?No destructible environment, no real time physics calculation for 50 cars. it's a very basic game by design to expand the install base.
>>108064245>hurr durr bcz overwatch is a 10 year old gameLiterally this, hence it was most certainly programmed by le evil straight white nazi chuderinos.

>>108064245It had an extremely limited and focused engineAsset streaming, visual clarity, and using the bare minimum for assets did a lot of workYou may not remember but when it launched the engine only just supported enough features to get multiplayer running The people replying who are saying hurr durr because it's old are just underaged, it ran notably well for its level of graphical fidelity ten years ago, battleborn is the counter example you should look atOr just look at how shit marvel rivals runs today, when Overwatch launched you could get 1080p 60fps on a GTX460 with medium settings, you could get over 100fps on a 750ti, marvel rivals looks like blurry shit on the lowest settings and you'll still only be getting 40fps at 1080p on a GTX1060
>>108066004 It looks like Quake from 1996 with high res pastel color textures.There is nothing to stress the CPU.
>>108064245Blizzard had decades of experience with game engines even before og Overwatch has launched: Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft, World of Warcraft. They did not need to reinvent network code and they did not need to figure-out how to make game look good_enough and to run on average real-world PC. With World of Warcraft they also learned that cartoonish style ages the best and looks the best even with low-res/low-poly graphics.And their engines were created by highly-educated high-paid white engineers - not by pajeet cucks or aislop. With World of Warcraft booming between 2004 through 2010+ they also had tons of infinite money and resources to invest into development.

>>108064245It's not that bloated crap UE5
>>108064245False, i can't duo with my gf and her PC (not shit PC but not top of the line either) always crashes, only happens when playing OW, already tried all of blizzard's solutions and zero results, nice game but as expected from blizz, done like fast food.
