- Reads and Writes Configuration: OverBuddy needs to read and write your Battle.net and/or Steam configuration files to change your background. It does NOT modify any game files and does NOT collect your personal data.
- Automatically Restarts Game Clients: Changes are applied after automatically restarting your Battle.net and/or Steam client.
As with all software, OverBuddy is built on the shoulders of giants.
I would like to extend my gratitude to SkyBorik for showing the community How to change Main Menu background, to Toyz for publishing the Overwatch command line arguments, and to the OverTools Team for their OWLib tool. This app would not have been possible without their contributions to the community.
