Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – February 16, 2021

A new Overwatch patch is in development and now available for testing! To share your feedback or report any issues, please post in the PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forums.

Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes may also be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and only reflects changes coming specifically to that platform.

GENERAL

General

• Updated how important off-screen elements (e.g. an exploding D.Va Mech) are displayed on the screen to make them easier to find

BUG FIXES

Maps

Eichenwalde

• Fixed a bug that caused the UI to incorrectly reflect payload progress in rare circumstances

Hollywood

• Fixed a bug that caused players to become stuck on a specific section of rooftop

Kanezaka

• Fixed a bug with player collision that allowed heroes to move through map geometry

Heroes

Baptiste

• Fixed a bug where Earthshatter could be blocked by an Immortality Field that was mid-deploy

Bastion

• Fixed a bug where a stun would cancel transformation from Recon mode to Sentry mode

Wrecking Ball

• Fixed a bug that allowed Piledriver to be used in unintended scenarios after a successful Piledriver

I have completed a quick demonstration of the waypoint changes here. The changes are quite dramatic as they force a more X-asis based approach rather than positional along the Z-axis of the local viewpoint.
