What’s the trick to getting stable FPS in OW2?

Feels like I’ve tried everything except changing the proton version. I’m playing on an OLED if that makes a difference.

You just do? I never had trouble running the game.

Are your shaders fully compiled? You won't get them pre-compiled as a download like with steam games.
- Hmm maybe I’ll try the non steam version since nothing else has worked
  
  Ah. I forgot ow2 is on steam now, so I assumed you were running it as a non-steam game. If you installed via steam, your deck should have downloaded the shaders so they don't need to compile... So then this can't be the issue.
Have you tried lowering the resolution and enabling FSR?
- I found that setting the min and max resolution to 50% with FSR 2.2 didn’t seem to make a noticeable difference.
What is stable to you? I put mine on a combination of medium and high settings and I get 45-60fps. If you need rock solid, probably play on low at 50fps cap.
- I’m expecting/ looking for less stutters, a higher average than ~38, and a higher max fps than ~54 I guess. I’m baffled why fsr seems to do nothing for my frame rate.
  
  Fsr isn't a magic bullet. Try setting everything on potato, fsr off, yand see how it runs. Should be like 50-60. If it's still giving you trouble, then something is wrong.
So you’ll get stutters no matter what version you use until the shaders compile. Play a few games, load into the training area with every character, and it will get up to a decent 40-50
