A new patch has been deployed on the PTR. While this will be irrelevant for everything that will happen in the Overwatch League this year, the patch still brings significant changes to beam weapons and allows for a couple of important additions in the workshop.
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.
