Overwatch PTR: Die Patchnotes vom 23. April

In der vergangenen Nacht haben die für Overwatch zuständigen Entwickler von Blizzard Entertainment einen neuen Patch auf den öffentlichen Testserver dieses Titels aufgespielt, der auf dem letzten Entwicklerupdate von Jeff Kaplan basiert und dort nun von allen Spielern getestet werden kann. Dieses neue Update für Overwatch beinhaltet dabei dann unter anderem ein neues Kommunikationsmenü, im Spiel selbst angezeigte Patchnotes, viele Fehlerbehebungen, einige Anpassungen an den spielbaren Helden, neue Optionen für den Workshop und eine Funktion zum Zurücksetzen der Basketbälle in der Startzone einiger Karten. Genauere Informationen zu diesen geplanten Neuerungen und den Zielen der Entwickler findet ihr wie üblich in den folgenden englischen PTR Patchnotes.   (Hinweis: Trotz der geringen Auswirkungen dieses kommenden Updates wird Patch 1.48 aber dennoch einen ziemlich großen Downlad auf allen Plattformen darstellen. )     Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – April 23, 2020: A new Overwatch patch is in development and now available for testing! To share your feedback or report any issues, please post in the PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forums. Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes may also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and only reflects changes coming specifically to that platform. ANNOUNCEMENT Patch 1.48 is a rebase and will require a relatively large download for all platforms. GENERAL UPDATES Feature Update: Improved Communications Wheel We have added many more communication options so you can customize your interactions in Overwatch! To help you pick your favorites, go to Options -> Controls and scroll down to the Communication Wheel section. From here, you can choose from one of 26 different options for each sector of the wheel. You can change out your choices and swap around their positions within the wheel. Now, you can still tell your team “I Need Healing,” but you can also tell them you are “On My Way” so they should “Press the Attack!” New options are now available to customize the Communications Wheel Shortcuts are now customizable; pick from a set of 26 different communication options Additional keybindings are now available to support more voiceover lines   Feature Update: Patch Notes in Client Players are now be able to read about the latest changes to Overwatch from within the game. We wanted to players across all platforms to have convenient access to this information, and it’s now easier than ever to stay up-to-date.

Note: One may also re-upload settings to a code that has expired (assuming the owner is the same), and the share code will become valid again.   WORKSHOP UPDATES New Features Allow strings to be stored as variables Allow no string reevaluation in Create HUD Text, Create In-World Text, and Set Objective Description Added Player Dealt Knockback and Player Received Knockback Events Conditions and actions are now displayed using C-style syntax.
