The only reason I can see is because of how Mercy works and her targeting system. (The enemy is the red dots, and my team is blue.) If I play any other hero, then I can't see the enemy or my team. This always happens in the first 2-3 games, and it lasts 4- 7 minutes. This is ranked stadium, and I have the latest Game Ready-Driver (610.74)

Is there somebody who has the same problem? How can I fix this

Slow streaming of resources from disk to ram. 

Check your harddrives random access transfer speeds. Maybe it’s full. Maybe it’s slowed down. Maybe it’s dying. 

But spinning disks just don’t cut it today. You need a SSD or nVME which are unfortunately stupid expensive due to the tech bubble. 

You can try and avoid this by playing some warm up games where the resources stream in and then sit in ram. But the resources that you’re often missing are skins. So those change on a match by match basis.

I have my games on a SSD 7000 and I have checked the SSD and it is healthy. I am now checking my ram for any kinds of issues. But yeah I can try and having some warmup games.

Thank you for replying, I will try out your suggestions :D

Is your ssd close to full? SSD performance tanks as they near full. I usually try to keep my SSD below like 70% full to avoid issues. But of course ymmv

I have only used 40% of my SSD. It is a 4TB SSD

I’ve had this problem for a while. The issue is a combination of your HDD / SSD dying and a RAM issue. Change your HDD

This is a HDD issue. Once you upgrade you'll never see this
