More info about what nVidia Reflex does is available on their site:

To locate the NVidia Reflex option, go to Options > Video and you will see it just below the Display Performance Stats/Advanced Performance Stats options. I believe the option will only appear for systems that are equipped with a compatible graphics card.

Thanks for the update!!

As a friendly reminder to everyone, using the in-game Looking for Group tool is a great way to get players together to tackle the PVE missions that you are looking to complete quickly and effectively. Find it below the main cards in the Play Menu!

Hey everyone, this year’s Archives event is introducing our new mechanism for weekly event unlocks!

To unlock Archives weekly rewards, you’ll need to earn Stars. Stars can be earned by completing Archives missions. Each week, a different Archives mission will offer double stars, and you’ll have the opportunity to earn the most Stars by playing on higher difficulties or Challenge variants. With this system, you’ll be able to earn Stars even if you do not succeed with your Archives mission.

Our goal with making this change is to allow unlocks to be more closely tied to the seasonal content, while also finding ways to allow for partial credit even when you don’t win a match. Previously, the system was all-or-none in that losing a match didn’t earn you any progress towards your weekly unlocks. Please note that this will be an iterative process and we’ll continue to make adjustments to this system in ways that make unlocks more engaging for the seasonal content.

If you have an NVIDIA Reflex enabled GPU you will find an option to enable the “Flash Indicator.” When enabling this option a small white square will be displayed when your primary fire button is first pressed. For users who have Reflex Latency Analyzer equipped monitors, you can use the flash indicator in conjunction with Geforce Experience to get real-time measurements of your total system latency. It is important that the flash indicator be displayed with our without Reflex enabled so that users can understand their total system latency in all scenarios.

NVIDIA also has a post to help provide some insight, here: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5175

Should be up until Monday. glhf!

Appreciate you following up with these additional details! For more information on the flash indicator resulting from the Trigger Flash option, please check out this article from NVIDIA: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5175.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the new feature. We’d like to follow up to ensure that we understand the issue and can troubleshoot accordingly. There were two options included in this update:

1. Reflex, which has 3 modes: Disabled (default), Enabled, and Enabled+Boost. These modes control if Reflex will be enabled to lower input latency.
2. Additionally, there is a second option: the Trigger Flash. When Trigger Flash is enabled, we present a white square so that players with Reflex Latency Analyzer equipped monitors can measure their input latency. In order to be able to form accurate comparisons with Reflex on, and off, it is important that this white square be presented always.

These options are independent of one another, so if you have the Reflex option turned off, the trigger flash can still be turned on separately. The Trigger Flash should be disabled by default, requiring you to enable it to be active. Do you mind confirming which option...

You have no idea how long the ritual took to make that thing work just right.

Nope - Only Xbox next week!

Hey everyone,

We want to give you a heads up that there will be an hour or two of server downtime on the Xbox platform on the morning (PT) of Tuesday, March 23rd. We will be conducting some server maintenance during this downtime. Please see the schedule below for an outline of the anticipated downtime (subject to some change):

• 10:00 AM PT – Competitive Games will be disabled
• 10:30 AM PT – Creation of all other game modes will be disabled
• 10:55 AM PT – Servers will go offline

Our team will work as quickly (and safely) as possible to keep the server downtime to minimum. With that said, we do not anticipate the downtime to extend longer than two hours. We will also be sharing some messaging in-game on the day of the patch.

Thanks for your patience!

Appreciate you letting us know about this! There was an issue with Deathmatch game modes not applying credit towards the PachiMarchi Roadhog skin. This was addressed last night and should now be properly awarding credit.

Are you saying you never heard of the Blizzard community’s oldest running joke?!

Oh dear…

Regarding Season 27 Top 500: Top 500 for Competitive Season 27 will begin on March 18th, slightly short of the standard 2-week period following the beginning of the season. While this change stems from last week’s technical issue, it does mean that Top 500 will be active for the same amount of time as any other competitive season.
