Yo can I get my 100SR back that I lost trying to play the game after the patch thanks.
Hey everyone,
The error applying update when trying to queue is something we’re still working on. However, the crashes on startup which started with 1.40.1 are unrelated. There is a separate issue related to a language/text mismatch here.
I tried launching the game, instantly says “A required Overwatch update is now available.” and I can’t do anything. I tried checking for update but it says the game is up to date. I restarted blizz launcher and tried again. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game and its still having the issue.

Thanks for following up with us! The issue with this happening in the game should be resolved with patch 1.40.1. For those experiencing crashes after the 1.40.1 update, please refer to this thread here.
To everyone still experiencing this issue, let’s try checking the game versions and the Blizzard App version.
- Overwatch next to the play button, should show Version
1.40.1.0.62438 - The Blizzard Application, click on the Blizzard logo at the top left corner, and click on Settings. At the bottom left corner, it should show Version
1.15.3.11474
If either are not up to date, try running a Scan and Repair and clearing the cache and tools for the Blizzard Application. Let us know if this is happening with both the Blizzard Application and Overwatch being up to date!

there’s an update but it stuck “Fetching CDN configuration”.
That would be a different issue entirely. Your best bet for that is going to be starting your own thread so we don’t conflate errors.
