What works
All games modes seem to work
Browsing through the menu
Changing crosshairs
What does not
Very low performance in normal game modes, practice range works well though (60-70 fps).
It seems that the explosion effects are causing major troubles
Workarounds
I had to use the windows installation from a separate partition, because battle.net said that my Windows (Windows 10) is not enough.
I set the Windows version after I installed Battle.net though...
What was not tested
Competitive Game mode...
Opening Loot boxes
Custom Games
Hardware tested
