Communication is key, especially in Competitive. If haters harass you because of the sound of your voice then they’re sabotaging their chances to achieve victory in the match. If you’re constructively communicating, your heart is in the right place. You’re being competitive.

At one point we all had the squeak or teenage voice fluctuations. Stay the course and speak your mind; if they’re trying to bring you down they’re already below you.

To add on to what bruce says, I see two such programs in the crash you posted. One is Discord Overlay. Try disabling that in your discord app>overlay settings.

Hello Sloth!

Thanks for providing your crash info. It looks like your GPU is trying to page memory when you crashed - are there other applications running while you are trying to play Overwatch that might be using GPU resources?

A couple ideas to try… if you are trying to run full screen, perhaps try a lower resolution (not render scale, actual resolution) to save on GPU memory. If your graphics settings didn’t choose low texture quality already, give that a try. Finally, I see you are running some overlays (Discord for example), you might try disabling those to give you back some GPU memory.

Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Bruce
