Can we get technical details as to what was changed in the game client and why it required a full reinstall of the game?
Basically to keep it simple, this patch was designed to consolidate and clean up all of the previous patches since 1.21. Basically each time a game is patched, it adds the data on top of the existing patch, they canāt do this infinitely with each new content update, so there are some patches where they sort of rebuild the game from scratch. Patches 1.21 and 1.13 did this.
As I am seeing feedback from other threads, this is allowing the game to run more smoothly and have faster performance.
HIGHLY UPSET WITH THIS UPDATE BLIZZARD. WTF. I HAVE BOUGHT AND PAID MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THIS GAME 3 ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. ADDING UP TO ROUGHLY 100 OR SO US DOLLARSā¦ IM HOPING YOURE GOING TO TELL ME I DIDNT WASTE MY MONEY ON THESE ACCOUNTS BY FIXING THE ISSUE OF āMY PC NOT MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTSā. my computer has run this game PERFECTLY fine up to this point in time with no complaints. so in shortā¦ WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.??? REFUND? OR LET ME PLAY THE GAME?
Hey everyone, there is an important update for the users who are freezing in game:
Nice job with Ashe, wish we didnāt have the abomination that is Mystery Deathmatch for a whole week so I could actually really test her out.
hi, people.
i want to report Ashe problem.
im gone to the training room to learn how to play with the character.
please everyone who read this, try too.
āreload right before shotā . (the enemy doesnt take the damage)
i tested a lot of times, the animation of hit appears but doesnt have any effect.
this character have a huge potential. Thanks developers!!!

Iāve been having issues with the game so far, I already downloaded the PTR but when I launched the game I noticed a couple things are very wonky. For 1, the wheel of commands does not appear in chat for me (or it occasionally does), and the critical hit sound is almost completely gone. Along with the killstreak narration. Is this intended, or do I need to reinstall Overwatch for the update? :00
I would recommend it just to be on the safe side.

Iām assuming there were fundamental changes to the client so that when its ready, the Replay Viewer doesnāt require a major update. Just laying the foundations nice and early
Letz be friends kā¦
My update took only 32 minutes FeelsGoodMan.
The patch video is a nice touch please make these more visible from the game client, it really beats youtubers taking 10 mins to tell you what this did in under a minute.
Iām sure itās been explained somewhere, but what exactly did the patch do that required a full reinstall?
I like the patch, better UI, esp. the allied borderline.
You didnāt do the preload of the patch?
