would this change in overwatch 2?

it's possible but unlikely to change in ow2. ow2 will raise min specs some, but we generally try to be as inclusive as possible with low end machines. we're keeping an eye on it for sure.

we appreciate the feedback. admittedly, i play way more on mouse/keyboard than i do on controller.

luckily, we have a number of really skilled gamepad folks on the team.

we're happy to hear suggestions about bindings.

this is a technical limitation related to how many heroes can be loaded into memory at one time.

Hey there, Bahrain is indeed a new location that's being introduced with the 1.47 update that was released today.

Germany is a location that has been available for a long time but is only used during abnormally high demand times like this patch. While we want the best network quality possible for players in all locations, more sites affect matchmaking quality, so we're always evaluating that trade-off.

Cheers

we're making changes. scott is writing up a blog post about it. info in the next few weeks.

Will this be on the latest patch with the fly-jump nerf? Really want to see how Echo looks without the abusable hyper-mobility.

Hey there, they'll be playing on the most recent build that went to PTR late on Friday night.

Cheers!

This is definitely a late patch. It seems to have been posted at 8:27pm.

Sometimes you gotta shake it up.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Hey there, I did just update the PTR. We moved a bit faster with this one (kicked people offline) given it's a bit late in the night where we are, sorry for that disruption.

Patch notes are here, hope you have a great weekend.

I just hope that the Overwatch team aren't putting themselves or their families at risk for this.

The Overwatch team is fortunate to be able to work from home. Thanks for thinking of us. <3

Hey everyone we're digging into this, sorry for the hassle.

Hey there I haven’t seen an elevated rate of LC-202 for any platform or region. Apologies that you’re having issues, please post any additional details here if you continue to experience issues.

edit: My initial investigation shows some elevated errors rates for ISP "Telstra Internet". We'll do our best to get in touch with their operations center, but if you are a Telstra customer and can reach out to your support that may be worthwhile as well.

As a side note, I understand this is a hassle, As an engineer on a game that requires the internet, regardless of where the problem is I want to help resolve the issue.

Thanks for taking the time to make this post and bring the issue to our attention.

Hey there sorry for this, I’m looking into what’s happening.

Hey there, we had a hardware failure that caused errors for some players. Sorry for the hassle, things are now stable.
Cheers

I believe I may have discovered a bug /u/billwarnecke — I played a couple of Experimental Play matches to completion and there were no Replays saved from those games on my Career Profile.

Hey there, we're aware with an issue that's preventing replays from showing up. We're working on a fix, once it's complete they will appear.

Cheers

edit: this is fixed now, thanks again for the report

Hey there, the issue last night was a database cluster failure and we're confident that issue is resolved. If you're having connection stability issues today we'd need to look at what specifically is happening for you, it won't be the same issue as last night.

I understand the important thing is you're being disconnected and it's impacting your competitive rating, just wanted to add clarity for others who come by the thread.

If you can take some time to post on our tech forums we have folks there who can help troubleshoot. I'm not at the office at the moment, but I haven't received any alerts that indicate widespread failure this morning.

Cheers, and sorry you're having issues. :(

Hey there sorry for the issues on PS4 tonight. We had a major infrastructure outage but we were able to get things stable after about 40 minutes. Should be smooth sailing for the rest of the weekend. Cheers

Sorry for the problems on PS4 tonight. We resolved the issue and things should be stable now. Cheers
