Overwatch's first patch (1.1.2) was released today, August 25th, 2010 at around 22:00 UTC/GMT. This update includes all fixes from the 1.1.0+Sv10 server-side patch.


Patch 1.1.2 (Released)

• Game (Client/Server)
  
  • General
    
    • [Improvement] Players are no longer frozen before GM is selected. Round will reset when a GM is selected, and players will then be frozen during the warmup period.
      
    • [Improvement] Round will now reset if all players leave the server, or if there is only 1 player on the server during GM selection.
      
    • [Improvement] Updated default motd.txt to display information about Overwatch updates (http://www.overwatchmod.com/owinfo/).
      
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed a rare case where a revive action could cause a server crash.
      
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed a rare case where a GM box-select action could cause a server crash.
      
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed a very annoying issue where a player selected as the GM (Overwatch) would get a near-horizontal view, instead of top-down.
      
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed a map cycle issue where a server would reload the same map at the end of the game, instead of loading the next one on the list.
      
    • [Bug Fix] GM opt-in choices are reset after a round reset (new round). Spectators will no longer be selected as GM.
      
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed case where the "Waiting for more players.." text wouldn't show up.
      
    • [Bug Fix] Scrollbars on the MOTD when joining a server are now displayed correctly.
• Updater Utility
  
  • General
    
    • [Improvement] Updater will no longer fail with error "Target file already exists" in certain special cases. Instead, it will force an override on any existing files during an update.
      
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed update problems caused by Steam installations on a hard drive that is different from the drive containing Windows/the system's temp path, by using a local _backup dir inside of /overwatch (no more moving files between drives).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If your Steam installation is located on a hard drive that is different from the drive where Windows is installed, the Updater utility will not be able to update your copy of Overwatch to 1.1.2. You will need to download a new installer (Overwatch_112.exe or newer) and use it to bring Overwatch up to the latest build.

Some Windows XP users seem to be having an issue with the Updater utility. We've reverted the update for the time being while we investigate. Stand by..

(Update) We've determined that the issue affects users who've installed Steam on a different drive than the one where Windows is installed (any version of Windows). We're working on a fix now.

(Update 2) Issue's been fixed and tested. We're now building new update packages and installers. More info in a few.

This release's version has been updated to 1.1.2.
