Earlier this month, Blizzard launched a new feature in Overwatch – Role Queue Beta. This Beta started off on August 13, 2019, and goes on until the start of next Season on September 1, 2019. While this feature brought many prominent changes to the matchmaking and SR in competitive, a lot of bugs came with it. High SR players have reported that they couldn’t able to find a single Competitive match because of their SR and that it’s taking them over an hour to find a match. Update 1.39.2 is now live in Overwatch.
Overwatch Update 1.39.2 Patch Notes
Below you can find the complete patch notes for the latest update released on August 28, 2019.
New Feature: Shared Install (PTR and Live)
The PTR and Live Overwatch PC clients can now share storage when installed to the same file path on disk. This should reduce the disk space required to install and update multiple clients. As a result, today’s PTR client should require only ~1.2GB of additional disk storage. Players with previous Overwatch PTR clients installed can uninstall and reinstall to a common disk location to benefit from this feature.
Note: Overwatch League Replay Viewer also supports shared installation with the PTR and Live clients.
