Try jumping into QP first. The game crashes instantly for me and loads of other people on character select after the latest update.
Stay away from comp until a new hotfix is out or you will most likely have a LOT of cancelled matches suddenly.

no issues here so far.
It won’t even let me load in : )
I have noticed a lot more disconnects since the patch as well. I have personally only had one weird disconnect (caused by the bug where the game crashes after capturing a highlight if you have the newest NVidia driver installed), but I have had a lot of team members disconnect in the middle of saying something to the team. Not sure if it has anything to do with the weird “Installing Updates” text that shows whenever I load into a comp game.
Jank programming by jank programmers hahaha
All programs have bugs. I am honestly shocked at how few of them I see in overwatch… particularly given that it’s using an in house game engine.
Didn’t they port several millions loc from another R&D project when they started Overwatch? It’s crazy.

agreed as many bugs as role que fluttered out onto us the true issue with the game isn’t bugs it’s balancing: all together another subject
First rule of competitive is to never play comp the same day a patch arrives. It’s very common that some last second bug appear and make something go bad, and that’s not really the devs fault, it happens with every program.
I should probably snap some screenshots and report the weird “Installing Updates” popup as a bug somewhere… I’ve started to ask people in game if they are seeing it and so far most of them are, but it’s a minor annoyance so no one is saying much.
it’s happening for first time for me
no problems on previous newly released patches on competetive
They hotfixed a bug that if you have text chat & voice lines in different languages the game crashed.
Maybe that was your issue.
Anywho, next patch is a overhaul
