Hey there,
I’m encountering a bug in Overwatch where, if I rush out of the spawn and click on the character selection menu at a specific point (usually near the edge of the spawn), I get stuck and can’t do anything. My character successfully leaves the spawn, but the character selection menu remains open and becomes glitched.
Normally, the menu closes once you’re out of the spawn, but this bug occasionally prevents that from happening. When it does, nothing works—I can’t close the menu, press escape, select a character, or open/close the HUD. Everything is frozen except the chat.
I reviewed a replay of the incident, and it’s clear that my character is outside the spawn when the bug occurs, not inside.
I’ve managed to reproduce this bug several times intentionally across different maps, so it’s not a spawn issue. I’ve triggered the bug with Kiriko and Mercy, but it doesn’t seem to occur with other characters—at least, I haven’t been able to replicate it with them.
This bug is particularly frustrating because it causes the entire game to freeze, forcing me to either restart the game or log out. This results in a significant loss of time, especially in competitive game modes.
It could be a problem related to the game itself, my PC, or my internet connection. However, I’ve never experienced issues like this before, so it’s a really strange bug.
Here’s a video I uploaded on Youtube demonstrating the bug. You can clearly see me clicking on the selection menu and getting out the spawn at the same time. Afterwards, I’m stuck and unable to do anything.
I hope there’s a way to solve this issue !
Cheers
