Does anyone know how to use --DefaultHero or if it even works at all? what value would you need to give it

Someone know how to use tank console? Tried commom commands and seems don't work. Also there's profiler key combination, i cannot find it.

would like to know more about it

anyone able to boot into a map with the parameters? been trying bunch of combos but it always tells me cannot locate resources

Has anyone figured out how to auto-login? I want to directly launch overwatch but still have it autologin with the battle net creds.

@github59173 You can set account data (returned from BNet service) in registy, overwatch read registry as well once it starts.

@RickyOcarina2000 maybe you've set wrong map ID.

@nathan130200 could you elaborate on setting account data in registry? What would that look like?

@greamy BNet launcher get auth data from API and set in windows registry these values. When overwatch starts it read windows registry with pre-cached auth data and automatically enter in the lobby server.
