General bug fixes (PC only)

• Fixed an issue with the Custom Game loading for Mei's Snowball Offensive game mode.
• Fixed a bug with the Anniversary loot box screen camera where it would have a focus on the Anniversary lobby background. This caused a loot box content confusion.
• Fixed an issue with stability for users who have Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire configurations. This is a rather notable fix from the latest patch for PC users. With the fix intended, users who have these configurations on their system should be able to have a better Overwatch experience.
