Overwatch 2 Update Resolves Popular Chat Feature Bug
The latest update for Overwatch 2 has addressed a bug that allowed players to utilize colored text and emojis in the in-game chat. Although players enjoyed this unintentional feature, developers have deemed it necessary to remove it to maintain game integrity.
During Season 17, players uncovered a way to enter different text colors and emojis using hex code commands. While this provided a fun and creative chat experience, it was not an official feature.
On August 5, a hotfix was deployed, reverting the chat functionalities to their original state, preventing any customization with text colors or icons. As a result, players are no longer able to customize their messages visually.
Fans have expressed mixed feelings regarding this change, with some enjoying the novelty of the bug while others hoped it could be officially integrated into Overwatch 2 in the future. For now, players must return to the standard chat functionality while enjoying the other features within the game.
Patch Highlights:
- Fixed unintended text chat colors.
- No balance changes to any heroes.
The game is continuously evolving, with many updates and events anticipated in the upcoming weeks. Players can look forward to new collaborations and in-game events that will keep Overwatch 2 fresh and engaging.
