Just want to point out, I am loving the communication from the Devs and their extended efforts to inform us of this reinstall. But Iāve been reading through the patch notes, and I just donāt see anything that has been implemented that would require a full reinstallā¦
I have no problem reinstalling, I am just wondering.
To implement the new replay system for OWL and eSports.
Iām pretty sure they optimised a lot of stuff in a lot of the gameās code
Thatās the part that makes me nervous about the whole thing. āOptimizingā can have a lot of unintended side efffects.
But it doesnāt say that in the patch notesā¦
Iām sure they probably patched any bugs that came about with itā¦ I mean, you donāt see any bugs in the normal game do you? :Kappa:
They probably removed some old useless code.
Pretty sure Symmetra is still in the game.
Savage.
Oddly enough I didnāt have to reinstall. The game just downloaded 400MB patch and that was it O.o
Yeah I think they did a background download throughout the past couple days, and ontop of that if you already have the PTR downloaded I think you have less to install.

Itās optimisation patch(add a ā.ā between kotaku and com)
They posted and stickied this a few days ago. Basically, they are making substantial changes to the client that should help increase performance for more players.
TO BRING MERCY BACK

The background download was only 7GB just like the PTR patch (and I feel like it didnāt go all the way)
Can anyone comment on how the average FPS ingame is now? Has it gone up? Has it become more stable?
Have they confirmed that the ānext major patchā has been deployed, though?
I think this is all because of esport and owl. Why I even donāt care about esport?
lmfao. take the tinfoil hat off
āHey, whereād Competitive Mode go?ā
