Hey everyone, we’re working to address this issue now. See this post for details: Regarding Competitive Leaver Penalties in Season 10

Greetings heroes,

We’ve identified an issue that incorrectly penalized some players with a Season Ban after being disconnected from only a single Competitive Game on April 23rd. We have identified the issue and have prevented additional bans. We are now working to remove the Season Ban from impacted accounts. Thank you for your patience as we work to fix the issue for affected players. There is no need to start a ticket with Customer Support as they are unable overturn Competitive or Unranked leaver penalties.

To learn more about how our Leaver Penalties work, see our Season 10 Defense Matrix blog.

Hey everyone, I am going to lock this topic since the starting post is now outdated. I encourage you to discuss the recent news from our blog post in the comment thread here…

Greetings! We just released an update that should resolve this issue, feel free to jump and climb the walls once again!

Hello there. Starting in Season 9, we moved earning bonus points at the end of the season, to the new bonus Competitive Point progression meter which rewards 100 Competitive Points for every 30 games played (with wins counting as triple progress). You can complete the progression meter up to 30 times every season, earning 3,000 points, enough to get a Jade or Golden weapon variant of your choice. You can also earn 10 points for winning games of Competitive Play as well throughout the season. Learn more about the Competitive update we introduced last season here.

Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes – April 16, 2024

Limited-Time Mode: Clash Trial

Clash is an upcoming core game mode in Overwatch 2. Teams must battle back and forth over 5 capture points, with each captured objective adding a point to the prevailing team’s score. Teams can win in two ways: either by having control of all five objectives at once, or by scoring five points total before the other team. Clash will be available as a limited-time trial through April 29.

How Clash is played

• Five total objectives placed in a linear pattern on a mirrored map.
• Only one objective is active at a time.
• Matches start with the center objective active.
• Players capture an objective by standing on it and filling in a progress bar. Capture progress cannot be made if enemy players are contesting the objective.
• When a team captures the current objective, they are awarded one point to their total score and a new objective moving forward from the scoring team’s side is activated.
• Objectives can be secured mu...

Due to the issues with “Balanced Overwatch” challenges not completing consistently for players, the following sprays will be granted to all players who log in before April 8.

• Dev Doodle Mei from the Giddy Gratitude challenge
• Dev Doodle Ramattra from Ultimate Fool: Tank challenge
• Dev Doodle Tracer from the Ultimate Fool: Damage challenge
• Dev Doodle Kiriko from the Ultimate Fool: Support challenge

We hope you continue to enjoy the Balanced Overwatch game mode throughout the rest of the week.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, while its not intended to be restricted, you’ll need to make sure to say “Thanks” to specifically a Support hero (just like the occasional Daily challenge) to get this Challenge completed. Sorry for the confusion.

We’re working on this, basically everyone’s ready to dig into Venture’s new kit, so loading the Practice Range might be a bit slow for a little while.

Update: this is now resolved and loading the Practice Range should take the normal amount of time.

Please see this topic for more details to what is going on:

We have seen reports where players can no longer earn progress on the Competitive Point bonus progression, and we want to clarify what is going on. After you complete 30 full rounds of progression, earning a total of 3,000 bonus Competitive Points, you can no longer earn any additional Competitive Point bonuses for the remainder of the season. However, you can still earn Competitive Points when you win and draw games outside of the bonus progression. The purpose is to ensure that players are doing the best they can in every Competitive match and not just playing the mode solely to collect Competitive Points that are used to unlock Jade Weapons. Thank you for your feedback and reports, and we wish you luck as you climb the ranks for the remainder of Season 9.

Welcome to the Overwatch Bug Report forum! The primary function of this forum is to collect reports on issues currently affecting Overwatch. Our goal is that this forum will become an extremely valuable tool to the development team, allowing all of us to help make Overwatch the best game it can be.

The quality assurance team will be monitoring this forum continuously, looking for new issues and then adding them to our bug tracking database. We will also move some threads over to the Tech Support Forum if we believe your issue may related to your personal setup as opposed to the Overwatch client itself.

While you may not see us post here very often, please know that your reports are read and appreciated. In the event that the amount of information in a bug report proves to be insufficient during our investigation, you may be asked for additional information (like your hardware configuration or what time you encountered a specific issue)—so keep an eye out!

Please keep all posts on topic...

Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes – February 13, 2024

These patch notes will go live on Tuesday, Febraury 13 at 11:00 AM PST.

WELCOME TO SEASON 9: CHAMPIONS

Season 9 brings core gameplay updates, a reworked Competitive game mode, and a new Co-op event that will test the courage of even the bravest heroes as they face a dangerous threat of cosmic proportions.

NEW EVENT: COSMIC CRISIS

Face off against eldritch abominations in the twisted reality of Cosmic Crisis, a brand-new co-op mission. Work with three other players to repair your ship and escape the ruins of Ecopoint Antarctica while fighting off the monstrous Null Sector. But keep an eye out for your teammates… an ancient power lurks in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.

COMPETITIVE PLAY UPDATES

Developer Comments: With your feedback, we’ve made new improvements to Competitive Play that aim to provide more transparency into your progress after every match, plus we introduced a new skill tier and new Competitive Rewards to e...

Greetings heroes!

Overwatch 2 Season 9 is launching on February 13 and will be featuring significant game updates. This patch will also be a “rebase” patch which will require a very large download for all players on all platforms. Rebase patches consolidate our patches into the core game, which in the long run, keeps the final data size of the game client manageable for both PC and console.

You will need to have as much as 38 GB of free space on your system when updating. If you do not have that much space, you can also uninstall the game client and reinstall it in full after the patch goes live on February 13. We understand some of our players may have limited bandwidth or data to download large updates, and we apologize for any inconvenience that this causes you. Thank you for your understanding, and we’ll see you on February 13.

Special Drops to celebrate the Calling All Heroes Championship are here. Earn these unique rewards by tuning in to Calling All Heroes Championship broadcasts from February 2 through February 4.
