Anybody else getting this like every other match? It’s fine when queueing as a tank, but as dps, this is soooo aggravating.
Is there any more specific details you can share? This sounds like a Hotfix error and there is some key troubleshooting to look at:
Hey Everyone,
A hotfix went out not too long ago, but it seems some players are getting stuck with a “Error Applying Update” message. If you’re running into this go ahead and try out the steps on the links below first:
If the issue persists we can try something a bit more advanced depending on the root cause of the error. You may not be able to identify this so doing them one by one would be the preferred way to go:
Can't download the update due to security
Typically caused by a firewall or other network restriction to our CDN (Content Delivery Network). You’ll want to add these to a white list or exceptions list for any security programs or modem/router. If you’re not sure on how to do any of these please refer to someone locally that may be more familiar with this:
China specific CDN:
Can't write to disk due to permissions
We can override where some information gets written to. We can do that override by specifying --tank_hotfixPath on the command line. You will have to add a file path for this during.
Open the options via the [Battle.net ](http://Battle.net) app
Go to Game Settings, if not already there
Scroll down to Overwatch and click the “Additional command line arguments”
Add this to it:--tank_hotfixPath [new file path]
Example: --tank_hotfixPath d:\temp
Out of disk space or local file corruption
Close the client, do the steps for “Can’t write to disk due permissions”
Clear some disk space on your C:\ drive. You can do this manually or via Windows tools like disk cleanup. Just need to make some extra room on it.
Do a full shut down and restart the system
I queue up for a match. It says match found. After about 15-20 seconds it says Error Loading Game. So I have to queue up again.
I have had this same problem. Not super often, but noticeably more than before the last patch. Says game found, I then stay on home screen for a while, then says error starting match in red in the bottom left. Then it either retries to start the game, or it just stops the queue and I have to re enter it
