This should be resolved now, please give it a try! Sorry about that.


02 May

Hey, everyone! I’m glad to see all of you digging into Season 10. We’ve loved seeing you welcome our newest hero, Venture, and enjoy the Mirrorwatch event (playable now in the Arcade!). However, this week, I want to look ahead to our midseason update and discuss some changes we have on the way for the Tank role.

In Overwatch 2, tanks are the imposing heroes who take the brunt of the fight while enabling their teammates to secure eliminations.  While tanks are a big target for opponents to focus on, many team comps aim to burn down a Tank’s HP quickly, or they get moved around a lot from displacement abilities. We’ve received feedback that tanks can either feel like they get taken down too quickly in a fight or that they’re impossible to take down.   

So, our midseason update is going to help balance how many hits tanks can take to stay in the fight better.  First, we’re specifically buffing the Tank passive to have a 25% damage reduction from head...

Greetings heroes,

We are updating some of our Unranked leaver penalty queue suspension times. Our goal is to adjust our queue suspension times to not be as impactful for those who may leave for reasons beyond their control, while still staying firm on those who are deliberately leaving multiple games.

  • Leaving two to three of your last 20 games played will result in a 2-minute suspension from queuing for most modes (previously 5 minutes).
  • Leaving four to five of your last 20 games played will result in a 10-minute suspension from queuing for most modes (previously 20 minutes).
  • Leaving six to nine of your last 20 games played will result in a 2-hour suspension from queuing for most modes (previously 4 hours).
  • Leaving 10 or more games of your last 20 games will still result in a 48-hour suspension from queuing for most modes.

This change does not affect leaver penalties for leaving Competitive Play matches. You can learn more...

Hello Brex - thanks for sending in your crash report! I think we’ve got this fixed in the Battle.Net version, but I’m not certain when the Steam version will be updated. Hang tight for just a bit longer, or try the Battle.Net version.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, we’re working to address this issue now. See this post for details: Regarding Competitive Leaver Penalties in Season 10

Greetings heroes,

We’ve identified an issue that incorrectly penalized some players with a Season Ban after being disconnected from only a single Competitive Game on April 23rd. We have identified the issue and have prevented additional bans. We are now working to remove the Season Ban from impacted accounts. Thank you for your patience as we work to fix the issue for affected players. There is no need to start a ticket with Customer Support as they are unable overturn Competitive or Unranked leaver penalties.

To learn more about how our Leaver Penalties work, see our Season 10 Defe...

Can you all try again please? A fix for this should have just gone live. You may need to restart your games

The familiar transforms into the unexpected when you embark on a journey through the looking glass with Mirrorwatch, Overwatch 2's latest limited-time event, now available through May 13. You’re invited to explore this parallel reality where the line between good and evil blurs as heroes and villains switch sides.

Glimpse into the Mirror

In this limited-time, non-canon event, Overwatch 2 introduces players to a mirrored universe where familiar faces adopt new personas, alignments, and abilities. You’ll be playing a 5v5 role queue in a world where Mercy leads Talon with a powerful rocket launcher, and Doomfist rallies Overwatch with a new Power Block shield. Try out the new Mirrorwatch event, where heroes swap teams and players must adapt to a whole new dynamic of gameplay.

In Mirrorwatch, not only are heroes swapping sides, but they’re also equipped with entirely reimagined abilities to reflect their new alignments. Experience your favorite char...

I do see the newest driver in the latest crash report. Thanks for the info. I will chat with the engineering team and get back to you if they have any more suggestions.

Hello! Followed you over from the other thread.

Looking at the crash report, it’s odd because it shows that you still have an old Nvidia driver from back in June 2023.

Can you try the steps in this article to get your DXDiag info and see what driver information it shows there?

It looks like you may also be on an old driver, I recommend updating to the latest Nvidia driver as well!
