Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – August 26, 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 and only reflects changes coming specifically to that platform.

BUG FIXES

Heroes

Genji

• Fixed a bug where canceling Genji’s Dragonblade swings to Swift Strike could cause inconsistent application of damage at certain latencies
• Fixed a bug where Genji would not move forward if using Swift Strike while aiming at a wall close in front of him
• Fixed a bug where Genji could sometimes not immediately look around at the end of Switch Strike, which happened more often when dashing towards a wall or ground

Workshop

• Fixed a bug that caused issues with third person spectating when scaling
• Fixed a bug that caused McCree’s Flashbang to not hit targets when scaled up to 20 times
• Fixed a bug that caused air and ground movement speeds to differ when setting a character’s movement speed to very slow
