Status Effects now behave like proper gameplay stuns, which means that scripted stuns now follow the same rules (i.e. cannot be stunned or frozen in spawn room). Does this have wider reaching ramifications for your script, or is this something you can work around?

Can you upload a workshop code/code snippet of frozen and stunned not working? Just want to make sure there’s not something else going on!

We found an issue where sometimes hero settings aren’t getting applied properly. We’re looking into it!

We’ve confirmed that those 4 actions (Set/Modify Global/Player Variable at Index) report the wrong value to the Inspector, though with what I’ve seen so far, the actual variable has the correct value. More testing is needed, so stay tuned. In the meantime, see if you can make functioning logic using those actions and checking for values at a particular index (ignoring the Inspector for now). Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the report! We’re looking into it

Thanks for the codes! We may have questions for you, so please check back over the next day or so.

If you have specific codes that aren’t working like before, please let us know! We made several changes to add features/improve other things and something might have changed in the process. Let us know as many details as you can about what broke for you and we can look into it asap!

I have a feeling this will go live for season 21 as they intend, but by having on the PTR we’ll be able to give initial feedback which will help them make better decisions on when to rotate heroes to make season 21 more consistent.

And I can safely say unlike my role queue fiasco last August, that PTR Competitive is not connected to your actual live hidden MMR. But please try not to throw too much though…

Thanks for such great feedback on feature requests for the Workshop! We’ve been listening and we hope you guys are excited about the new PTR!

I am glad to see that Hero Pools will be tested in the PTR prior to the start of Season 21.

Hey everyone, Zach and I have been hard at work on several new Workshop features for 1.45. Our focus for this patch has been quality-of-life features for creators as well as performance improvements. Many of these changes are based on user feedback, so keep those suggestions coming!

These Workshop changes are active right now on the 1.45 Public Test Realm (PTR). Because of several optimizations to the core Workshop execution engine, we’re particularly interested in cases where existing Workshop creations work differently (or not at all) in 1.45. For that reason, we encourage creators and players of Workshop modes to test as many existing game modes as possible on the PTR . Existing Workshop codes were copied from the live game to PTR this morning. Please let us know if there is anything we need to fix! The sooner you let us know, the more likely that we’ll be able to fix any bugs before 1.45 is released.

Of course, we’ve added a lot more than optimizat...

Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – February 4, 2020

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 PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only an...

It’s both. For PvE we add a full story arc told through story missions (even though it’s a linear story I am reluctant to all it a campaign because it’s co-op, not single player). We’ll also have Hero Missions (which are highly replayable PvE backed by a progression system). The closest analogy (although neither is quite accurate) is Adventure mode in Diablo III or World Quests in WoW (again, not a great analogy but indicative of the level of replay we’re hoping for).

For PvP we’re adding a completely new pool of PvP maps including a new game mode call...
