Process Lasso massively improved my gameplay experience.
Ever since Season 2 hit, my game lost it's fluidity and I've tried everything to fix this issue including reinstalling my OS with no luck. I gave up until I stumbled upon a post for another game and I've decided to give this program a go.
Turns out, it wasn't a joke and the results were there. My input latency improved, game became more responsive and fluid, and if you're a madman with this program you can achieve stable 500-600 FPS depending on your hardware.
In my own words, Process Lasso is basically Task Manager on steroids that gives you complete control on how many cores each app/service can use until the point you can run your whole system on a single core while you game. On top of giving you such control if you're someone who knows what he's doing, it does this by default to some extent without you having to thinker and worry.
Here are my settings, and how to do it:
1.) Download and install Process Lasso: https://bitsum.com/
2.) Open Process Lasso, go to "Main" tab and make sure "ProBalance" is enabled. Don't touch anything else.
3.) Launch OW2.
4.) Alt tab, and go back to Process Lasso and click on the "Active Processes" tab.
5.) Find OW2 process, right click on it and apply following:
- Priority Class > Always > High
- CPU Affinity > Always > Uncheck CPU 0
- I/O Priority > Always > High
6.) Go to "File" tab, and save your profile.
Note: You have to open Process Lasso each time you start your system before launching OW2. You can also use this for different games like Valorant, I've had same success with this exact configuration. There are also plenty of videos on YouTube if you want to go even more in-depth.
Comments Section
For anyone wondering: Process lasso is widely considered to be safe, and that is the correct website to download it from.
As for the actual setup: Probalance is a feature of process lasso that supposedly optimizes your PC while gaming. It's very much YMMV, but for some people it helps.
The affinity and priorities you can set in task manager too. But process lasso allows you to save the configs, whereas task manager yeets your settings out each time you restart OW.
I have no idea why people are shitting on this post. (and downvoting all this guy's posts in this thread for some reason) But I guess this sub's got its idiot streaks sometimes.
I think people see this as a shill post, but checking their user history this seems like a legitimate recommendation
If any of you play Escape from Tarkov, Process Lasso is a godsend. You may not need it for Overwatch, but make sure to Google the best Tarkov configuration to get more fps.
It's pretty insane for OW2 as well, even if you're someone who doesn't necessarily have any visible issues it will absolutely provide you with latency improvements which are always welcome.
It's mind blowing to me how Windows itself does not have such optimizations built into Task Manager? I literally can maintain stable 500 FPS if I wanted to which wasn't possible before because services and the OS itself interfered.
I never played Tarkov but I heard it's a heavy game, so I'm absolutely sure it does wonders for it as well.
chat gpt hello and dont download this
Please explain? I’m ootl

Faced the same issues on both rigs, and this helped me.
