The latest Overwatch patch is available to download for PC, and with it come a few changes to Sudden Death. There are a few other tweaks as well, so check out the full notes below. These patch notes come courtesy of redditor naomi-nyx, who typed them up from the Battle.net client.

GENERAL

Competitive Play

The duration of Sudden Death has been adjusted across all maps from 1m45s to the following values:

BUG FIXES

General

• Fixed a bug that prevented Overtime music from playing on Escort and Assault/Escort maps, if they payload was nearing the final checkpoint

• Fixed a bug where display settings weren't always saved after restarting the client

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the in-game UI to display incorrectly at 4k resolutions

• Fixed a bug where sometimes the wrong player level would appear in the Social menu

Maps

• Fixed an issue with collision not blocking line of sight on certain areas of Nepal

Heroes

• Fixed a bug that caused Mercy's Caduceus Staff beam to disconnect from its target if the player a) quickly switched between healing and damage beams by holding down both mouse buttons and/or b) was facing away from the target at the time of the switch

• Fixed even more bugs that allowed Reaper to Shadow Step to unintended locations on certain maps

• Fixed a bug that caused Winston's melee attack during Primal Rage to inconsistently hit targets in range

• Fixed a bug that sometimes cause Zarya's alternate fire to scale incorrectly with her damage boost modifier

Competitive Play

• Fixed a bug that caused the "Top 500" icon to incorrectly display for certain players in various places throughout the game UI

• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused players' Skill Rating to display as "64" during placement matches

• Fixed an issue where if you left and rejoined an in-progress Competitive Play match, the game would still track the match as a loss in your placement match history and when determining the amount of Skill Rating you receive for completing a match even if your team won

• Note: You must be present for the conclusion of the match to be eligible for the win. If you leave a match and do not rejoin before it's over, it will count as a loss both in your placement match history and when calculating your Skill Rating adjustment.

• Fixed an issue where you would still receive a Competitive Play "leave" penalty even if you rejoined a match and completed it

• Note: If you leave a single Competitive Play match more than 3 times, you will receive a Competitive Play "leave" penalty even if you complete the match

While this patch basically adjusts each game by a few seconds, that extra time can be the deciding factor in a tight competition. The patch doesn’t address a common complaint of grudge leaving, where players leaving in the last 30 seconds of a game end up hurting the winning team more than the losing one.
