store.steampowered.com
Overwatch 2 is a critically acclaimed, team-based shooter game set in an optimistic future with an evolving roster of heroes. Team up with friends and jump in today.

On Bottles with the default runner I always had the mouse focus glitch. On Steam Proton Experimental it works great! If you play on BNet, I suggest you switch to Steam.

    Overwatch is one of the easiest games to run on Linux, even before OW2. If I’m not mistaken Devs also had a positive attitude towards Wine/Proton, where they stated they will not be barring Linux players (looking at you, Bungie)

      Overwatch was one of the first DX11 games running well on WineD3D back around 2016-2017 or so. Maybe it was just because of how popular it was at the time, but I remember it being a big deal that it was working. Before that point wine was really only used for DX9 games and below. This was even before DXVK came along in 2018.

      Yes they falsely banned Linux players two times in the span of 7 years and reverted both ban waves. It took them a few days to automatically unban me and the support wasn’t helpful, but that’s to be expected in a ban wave.

      They’ve actively fixed bugs plagueing their games running on wine for decades iirc.

      But some bugs like the mouse bug are really annoying.

    Runs perfect on newest GE proton in steam. Not having to mess around with lutris anymore is great.

    I dreamed of Overwatch being on Steam for many years but I really didn’t expect it to happen. Issues with Battle.net made me reinstall constantly.

    Now that it’s on Steam I’ll play a bit more until I’m fed up with their monetization that’s close to p2w (overpowered heroes locked behind paid battle pass).

      I play every day, 2 or 4 matches in Quick Play. By mid-season I unlock the new hero. But this season I had so many points from the last one, I got the battle pass for free.

      Sure, it’s a bit p2w and grindy. But it’s the least p2w and gribdy of all F2P games I ever played. And there’s so much fluidity to the combat, that only Titanfall used to scratch that itch for me.

    When I used to play ow2, after alt tabbing my mouse would not work in the game for the next 15 - 30 minutes.

    Is this issue still there ? Or has it been solved already

      This is exactly what Proton experimental fixes with the ease of use of Steam.

      it was a problem for me too previously, but I don’t think it is anymore, I haven’t had it since glorious eggroll updated his wine build a few months back, and I didn’t get it using proton today in Steam.

    The caffe runner had some versions that didn’t have the mouse focus problem, but it’s nice it works out of the box now.
