Can't jump with spacebar

Currently, I cannot jump with spacebar. My spacebar works as you can see.

I can rebind jump to another key and it will work but if I rebind it to spacebar, it won’t work. I have tried rebinding it as a secondary bind, but that doesn’t work.

I have tried scanning and repairing game files and I have tried reinstalling the game.

I’m the only one so far among my friends with this problem and from my short look at other posts, the only one to be affected by such a thing. Hope someone can help me soon.

EDIT: After thinking further back in the day what I did, I rebound spacebar to play and pause in the World Cup Viewer. I have since rebound play and pause to another button and jump on live servers with spacebar works again.

So the bug is that it clashes but doesn’t display it. Blizzard please fix :slight_smile:

Absolutely agree, have the very same problem. If “Spectate toggle pause” in OWWC Viewer set on a spacebar, you are unable to jump in Overwatch (but only if your Jump button is also Space).

This is important, because putting Pause on Space in spectator seems like a very obvious idea, which leads to a very annoying problem.

Update: I just noticed that my sensitivity and control settings for different heroes were all reset. Don’t know if this is also related to changing OWWC viewer settings. I just noticed this after playing Ashe on the PTR. My settings there were fine but once I moved over to the main game my hero control settings were all gone.

I have the same exact issue right after installing World Cup Viewer. I even uninstalled the viewer now but still have the issues. The only heroes where jumping currently works are: Bastion, Doomfist, Genji, Hanzo, Junkrat, McCree, Mei, Pharah, Soldier, Sombra, Torb, Tracer, Brigitte, Lucio and Mercy.

I also have this issue.

I changed the world cup viewer pause button to space, and now i cant jump. I have to use mouse 5.

I know i’m a bit late to this forum, but i really want to get into Overwatch again and i can’t get used to not being able to jump with space bar. I can’t play overwatch until this gets fixed because it throws me off so much. Please fix soon.

Check your settings in game. P.S. please don’t necro old threads.

I’ve been having this problem for month with lifeweaver and now illari and I’ve tried reporting to technical support and reporting it as a bug multiple time and it’s still not fixed.
