The launch of Overwatch 2 has been marred by many problems, to say the least. Amid the DDOS attacks that paralyzed servers, the sudden disappearance of objects and the progress of some players, and the discussion around the new SMS Protect anti-cheat system, we had a happier start.
But that’s not all, as several players this weekend recorded with dismay: in-game credit wallets were emptied. Indeed a bug was automatically spending player currency to buy character skins. Many users brought up this issue on Reddit and social media.
As they explain, this is a game chat error this treats text typed in in-game menu navigation as commands.Unfortunately, to unlock a skin, you only need to double-press the spacebar; this can happen in a fraction of a second when you press it dozens of times per sentence”. On Reddit, the user provides Raindrac details.

Blizzard official, no refunds
Naturally, the player reported his misfortune to Blizzard, hoping for a refund of the sums lost due to this error. Suffice it to say that the reaction of the American publisher was not as expected. “After analysis, we are unable to offer refunds or other compensation for unlocks with . Overwatch 2 in-game currency. All these unlocks need to be permanent”, says the company.
Friday, October 7, 2022 – Saturday, October 8, Blizzard has released a fix that appears to have fixed the issue. Still, the patchlog posted by the developers doesn’t mention the skin bug at any time… The publisher has decided to make a gesture for the affected users.
