Patch is Live

EDIT: ASHE IS CONFIRMED LIVE. PRAISE JEFF

Figured I’d throw an update out for those wondering and/or waiting on someone to post that it has gone up. It came in right at 1:00 even for console which is unusual as of late.

EDIT 2: This also does appear to be the reinstall patch for console players.

FYI this isn't the reinstall patch it seems. That will have to be the next one.

~~DL for me was around 500MB~~

Ok looks like PC is pretty small if you had PTR installed and/or have had downloads earlier running in the background.

Looks like Console users have the full download again.

Apologies. Although I wish Blizz had been more clear about it

Hey there, this is the "reinstall" or "remaster" patch. There was some confusion from our post, you do not actually have to manually reinstall the game. We were just trying to convey the download would be close to the full size of the game. The Blizzard Desktop Client handles the reinstall magic behind the scenes.

Cheers!

Mine is 19.4 GB (PS4). Are you console or PC? I think that only console players had to reinstall but don’t quote me on that.

The "reinstall" was for all platforms. For PC we're able to start a pre-download which we initiated late last week. Unfortunately for console players we cannot do this so you have to download the whole patch when we make the new version available.

Cheers!

Hey Bill,

Yeah sorry about that. Mine was only 500MB.

Was this due to having PTR installed or background downloads at all?

Thanks,

PTR and Background Download could be used to make the patch size smaller today! :) Cheers.

Thanks, Bill. Will client side settings automatically be preserved during the "reinstall" / "remaster" patching process?

Thanks again to you and the team.

Hey there, yep, all your client settings will be preserved. The only thing abnormal about the 1.30 patch today is the size.

We all thoroughly enjoy everything you guys put out, no matter how much we complain lmao. With a rare chance to say thanks a ton directly to someone on the OW team, I think I need take that chance so... THANK YOU!! Very excited for Ashe and BOB 😁

Cheers! <3

Is this the so called whole reinstall patch we've been hearing about ?

Indeed, it has arrived! Lots of good information in this thread and also on our forums if you're hitting any issues. Cheers.

I'm seeing really choppy framerates on Xbox after install. Any optimization I need to do?

Hey there, do a full power off then power on of your XB1. This should fix you up!
