Viewing and saving F9 highlights without them being deleted with an update

I want to view and save some highlights that I captured over the past two weeks. I haven’t saved them yet because I thought I had another day or so before the next update. Unfortunately, all recently captured highlights (those saved with F9), disappear once the game updates. Since I can’t launch the game without updating it, those captures are out of my reach.

I believe they are stored in \AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Overwatch\my id\Highlights, but they aren’t files i can open.

TL;DR: how the heck do I view these files before updating the game? Or is it tough luck, and I just have to live with a bunch of highlights that I can’t save?

I think they’re long gone. Always make sure to save your stuff before logging off. You can’t rely on a big gaming company to accommodate for everyone.

Yeah unfortunately

I wish they could save to your bnet account
