WARNING: Game breaking competitive payload glitch

I jumped onto my first competitive game today (PC) on Eichenwalde and we literally couldn't win. On our attack, we pushed the payload to where we held the enemy. The payload wouldn't move (forwards or backwards) and the map wouldn't finish. We tried to jump off the payload and then get back on and it still wouldn't work. We couldn't win the map and we eventually lost when we got wiped. Blizzard, please look into this.

Here's a video of it happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LvcRr0xX0A&feature=youtu.be

    Apologies for this bug. We have made a fix and are rolling it out as a server hotfix now.

    I'm sure glad the PTR exists to squash these bugs before its deployed to the live servers /s

    I know you /s but on a more serious note we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good. The PTR is incredibly valuable. We will keep trying to do better and avoid bugs making it to live, but it’s unlikely we’ll ever ship a 100% bug free build.

    Again sincere apologies to anyone who hit this bug.

    Cheers

    Keep up the good work, the changes that have been proposed over the past 2 weeks have reinvigorated my love for the game. I really do think you guys have gold on your hands and I want OW to succeed as much as anyone else!

    My original post in hindsight was a bit abrasive but I really do wish the best for you and your team. I hope you, your team and your family have a happy holidays and thanks once again for your continued support.

    <3 happy holidays to you too Sergster1

    Thanks! Does that include being fixed on console?

    Yes! We’re rolling this server side hotfix out to all regions and all platforms currently.
