Dorado gets disabled in Overwatch 2: Everything we know

Overwatch 2 disables Dorado to prevent unwarranted crashes

The brand-new mid-season patch for Overwatch 2 Season 11 took the community by surprise. Not only was a range of unexpected balance changes incorporated within the game, but the developers further introduced a brand-new teaser showcasing their newest Hero for the upcoming Season, Space Ranger.

This new teaser was added to the fan-favorite map, Dorado, where players noticed that Space Ranger's spacecraft, which was a mere glint in the sky, had finally landed in Dorado's attacker-side spawn. However, before players could get a better look at this new teaser, a range of reports took over social media websites, complaining about the relentless crashes faced by players whenever they got a match in Dorado.

Initially, fans believed that the addition of Space Ranger's craft as a teaser into the game might have been the source of these crashes. However, the latest developments from Blizzard Entertainment indicate that this isn't merely the case, and there's some other issue that needs to be fixed. To prevent players from crashing any further, the developers have disabled Dorado entirely. Until an official hotfix is issued to combat the problem, it will remain out of the active map pool in the game.
