“Error applying update”

Competitive Discussion
1

I tried to queue up in a comp game, since I got bored and queued for dps, I went into a skirmish game, stayed there for a little bit, then got the sound for a found match. But then, I suddenly get logged out of battle net and it says “error applying update.” I’ve never seen this message before, there are no current updates, then when I got back in overwatch I’ve lost 50 sr and am suspended from comp. Can someone explain to me what that error means

Well Blizz is going to move your thread to technical issues, then spam you with copy pasta troubleshooting, and then forget you exist because they can do no wrong.

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to write your issue. I have been having the same issue for the past 24 hours. I figure it will probably work itself out with a patch soon. It doesn’t always happen to me but it has def been happening like 5-6 times so far.
Please check into this Blizzard we love you.

I having this problem. It seems to be connected with the new bastion skin challenge. I noticed that it wasen’t working properly. Like at the moment, I have the skin but the challenge has refreshed. So I think the problem is there.

I uninstalled it, and reinstalled. It was all good, but when I exited the game and logged back it, the error had returned.

Im sometimes getting “applying update” at the beginning of a match. Then it enters a game normally.

What is even updating?
What is keeping it from applying for some?
And why is the consequence game closing when it doesnt update?

It means blizzard developers created a bug that broke something.

Blizzard just waited ten minutes for a game for someone not to get in this game because of your update. Certainly not waiting another ten for it to happen again. Needs a hotxix asap.
