1.39.2 update, patch notes? (Update: available)

General Discussion

Any changelog please?

Edit: It’s here!

NEW FEATURE: HOTFIXING

With this patch, the Overwatch client on all platforms can now automatically receive minor updates (hotfixes) without needing to be restarted. Hotfixes require online connectivity, access to disk, and sufficient disk space. In the event a hotfix can’t be received, you may encounter a message you can resolve via one of the following platform-specific support articles: (???)

Note from Linkyop: I can’t post links from patch notes, please check link above to see them.

NEW FEATURE: SHARED INSTALL (PTR AND LIVE)

The PTR and Live Overwatch PC clients can now share storage when installed to the same file path on disk. This should reduce the disk space required to install and update multiple clients. As a result, today’s PTR client should require only ~1.2GB of additional disk storage. Players with previous Overwatch PTR clients installed can uninstall and reinstall to a common disk location to benefit from this feature.

Note: Overwatch League Replay Viewer also supports shared installation with the PTR and Live clients.

BUG FIXES

  • Custom Game - Fixed an issue where presets saved with Symmetra’s “Teleportation Duration” were being flagged as invalid

They always forget to put the changelog WITH the update at the same time they deploy it…

No patch notes so far, could simply be some bugfixes.
E.g., I noticed that Sigma still has the “Hello” bug, maybe they fixed that along with some more minor stuff.

This is not a bug, this is intentional.

No console update :frowning:

12

You post it right after i edit first post, lol.

13

Lel, sorry about that.
You forgot the first part though. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

14

This was the only thing i was looking forward too

15

Pretty interesting that the beam changes didn’t go through to live, they were part of the same PTR cycle as the Shared Install thing.

16

It will most likely go live with RQ QP.

17

Fixed. Also, i can’t post links from patch notes. Stupid forum rules. -_-

18

I know, I just mean I can’t remember them dividing up a PTR cycle into separate updates for the live game like this.

19

guys it’s a hotfix and some minor bugs it’s nothing major :stuck_out_tongue:
