Yeah, as far as we’re aware this issue is only affecting players using the version you’d get from the Windows Store (Game Pass, Xbox app on PC, etc). Last I heard, at least a few other games on this platform were also experiencing similar issues (including a newly-released multiplayer module for a shooter about big space rings and spartans).

It’s unclear at this time what more we can do on our end, but we can consider issuing a republish of the patch if it keeps up and see if that helps. In the meantime, I do apologize again for any trouble this causes.

Please don’t spam or try and bypass the word filter with ‘clever’ usage of binary code. Thanks.

Alright, thanks for the update.

We understand you’re frustrated, but please bear in mind that sometimes unforeseen issues occur that are out of our control. What you’re suggesting isn’t actually the source of the problem.

Are you still unable to get the new version without a reinstall? We haven’t seen new traffic about this issue in a few hours now.

You shouldn’t have to keep reinstalling. The new version is out, but we’re keeping an eye on whether folks are actually receiving the update normally. This appears to be affecting other Windows Store games as well, so it’s not exclusive to us at least.

Yes, we’re fixing the issue and while I won’t disagree I would like to have seen the solution come sooner, it’s happening and should be pretty soon; if I recall correctly it should be in the next update. I’m sorry it’s taken so long and for any trouble it’s caused!

I’m really most partial to a good Coney dog with onions, mustard, and just a dash of hot pepper (...

Ketchup is a fine condiment.

My kids used to love it when they were younger

News that a team is taking longer than anticipated with a game is never easy, especially in a case where players have been eagerly anticipating any information about release, beta, etc. The forums, reddit, and social have all been a reflection of the frustration I believe a lot of OW players are feeling today, and that’s ok.

Jodie (our new CM, you’ll meet her eventually) and I have been spending the last day gathering feedback, and today we’ll be summarizing it and sending it along to the those who need to see it. While it’s important that our team does everything in our power to meet the high expectations that we all have for the Overwatch franchise, we also need to be aware of how it affects the community that’s grown up around our game.

In the meantime, I want you all to know that we understand what’s happening on the forums. While we still believe that this is the right thing to do for the team, the game, and ultimately the players, we get the emotions being shared...

The upcoming Cassidy event is not to reveal his new name, nor do we intend to have Cowboy’s new name be a celebratory moment.

What’s most likely driving confusion is the fact that we decided to delay the original event to account for the updated name.

What an interesting thought
