I now had this error the 3rd time within the last couple of days, all of them while queing for a comp game.
Always had to Alt + F4 to shut down the game because the “applying update” message was staying there forever (waiting for several minutes)
Two times I got a loss and was suspended for 15 minutes, one time nothing happened.

Same here. Got a 15 min suspension from Comp, it sat for about 2 minutes before I just restarted my client.

Also happened to me just a minute ago…
Literally just happened to me while I’m on pace to masters for DPS… The game has been SO buggy today… First it asked me to verify my phone after ive had this account for almost 10 years , and now this BS…
Similar issue just now. Queued for comp (support). Got into a match but “applying update” popped up and did not close or let me into the match before I force closed Overwatch to come back to a 15 minute suspension.
This just happened to me RIGHT now! I was waiting on this “applying update” screen for nearly 10 minutes before I finally shut it down, and I was hit with a 60 minute suspension!
Had that happen to me just now was all ready for comp with a friend he got into the match but I got the applying update. Luckily only 15mins. But picked up another friend once ban was over and it happend to him but he got an hour ban. This is ridiculous
Just got an 8 hour competitive ban because of this applying update bug. Hopefully they fix this soon, otherwise it’s unplayable. Sadge
