Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pseudodeer Dumbass Deer/ Child of Malaraki (@pseudodeer) reported

    @gurolapin This is a good take. It's not that fighters don't wear their hair like that. They do. But it would be less of an issue if Blizzard wasn't completely allergic to adding a black woman into Overwatch. This skin rubs salt into the wound

  • Gh0stShapes (@Gh0stShapes) reported

    It’s safe to say we will probably not see Spyro or crash, the only good things activision have, for a while now! All because they’d prefer to have all their talented studios poor resources into ****** overwatch and call of duty.

  • rocketdogshawn RocketDogShawn (@rocketdogshawn) reported

    First Activision puts Vicarious Visions on Overwatch 2, meaning no THPS3+4, and now they put Toys for Bob on Call of Duty, meaning no Crash/Spyro from them. **** Activision. @BeenoxTeam You’re our last hope for any of these! Unless Activision makes you work on Blizzard ****...

  • GR0H0 LIVE🔴 | GR0H0 (@GR0H0) reported from Cutchogue, New York

    dear @Respawn Fix the MOON LOBBIES IN #ApexLegends! The bug has been in the game since launch. thank you someone that wants to play apex but is moving to overwatch 😞

  • tendaidongo Tindo™ (@tendaidongo) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Blizzard_Ent Noobs can't even fix Overwatch

  • Micah16049185 Micah (@Micah16049185) reported

    @kaytiearts @REDinFamy @overwatchleague The issue is I have to buy a whole *** new game to play a black female character when overwatch has been out for years.

  • Etrius4u E (@Etrius4u) reported

    @Born2beSlicker @AmberIsAQT @Kotaku they fix those bugs it'll be better than overwatch or at least as good

  • jgleason45 THE P90X MAN (@jgleason45) reported

    @kaytiearts @REDinFamy @overwatchleague It wouldn’t be a issue if Blizzard didn’t do this type of stuff. It’s noticeable and bothers those that don’t get the proper representation. Overwatch tends to shoot itself in the foot when it comes to “diversity”. Finally getting a black female in O2 doesn’t excuse the problem.

  • TVStaticOffical TV Static (@TVStaticOffical) reported

    @unityhackscom @CSGO overwatch isn't offline, but it might as well be. you can cheat, no problem

  • AuraOfAzure Queer Werewolf Wrestler (not really) (@AuraOfAzure) reported

    Vicarious Visions: revitalizes Crash Bandicoot and THPS; gets merged into Blizzard to work on frigging Overwatch Toys For Bob: revitalizes Spyro and makes a stunning Crash Bandicoot title; suffers layoffs and moved to work on frigging COD Activision is a real piece of work.

  • IronAidanD IronAidan07 (@IronAidanD) reported

    Toys for Bob is now a shell of a company used to make generic gun games every year for $60, and with the studio doing Crash 4 down that probably damages Crash's chances for Smash 4/6 into the pass **** Activision, Overwatch 2 is probably cancelled so there isnt a point lmfao

  • AJackFinnie FinnDawgyDawg (@AJackFinnie) reported

    Activision did the same thing to Vicarious Visions who did well with Crash and Tony Hawk remakes but ended up getting folded into Blizzard to work on Overwatch 2. Dinnae understand Activision's game plan at all

  • lurkydurkie collin (🎂 in 7 days) (@lurkydurkie) reported

    crash, spyro and overwatch deserve so much better than activision breathing down their throats

  • beauwst beauwst (@beauwst) reported

    @CSGO maybe fix overwatch next? it does not work.

  • SomeFlapper Onikakushi (@SomeFlapper) reported

    This is how Activision finds capable work forces for their popular games like COD and Overwatch. They get Devs to create an absolute hit like Crash 4 and Spyro Reignited and then get them to work on the next COD or smth because of their talent. But that's just my dumb theory.

  • Superbconnor64 Con-ic the Hedgehog (@Superbconnor64) reported

    @CartridgeGames The only Crash/Spyro related developer we have left is Beenox and I have a bad feeling if by some miracle they make Spyro 4 Activision will decide to force them into exclusively making Overwatch stuff or some **** anyways

  • SeoulessOW SEOULESS (@SeoulessOW) reported

    just went into a mccree naked glitch 1000% real custom game and there was no naked mccree overwatch is a terrible game actually

  • IronAidanD IronAidan07 (@IronAidanD) reported

    @tha_rami @MaddyThorson >Jeff Kaplan leaves >Overwatch 2 is basically dead now >Wumpa League dead >Toys For Bob is now just a COD Studio >This Legit if Crash isn't in Smash I have no reason to even consume an Activision Product anymore, **** these guys lmao

  • Mikol1987 Mikol (@Mikol1987) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I had done some stuff from the first link but nothing. I had a small update for Overwatch when I logged on Battle net. I was asking on reddit if people had same problem. They did and they said they had another update after relogging on battle net. I had only 1 update.

  • basoneulpi Theona Ciocirlan (@basoneulpi) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi i switched account to play ranked with a friend and I keep getting the error that I don't have an overwatch license. cannot contact you through the form on the official website for some reason. please help

  • Jaiiskii James (@Jaiiskii) reported

    @TanookiLiam Probably not :( Vicarious Visions who made the Crash trilogy got moved to Blizzard and they’re helping out in Overwatch 2 and the Diablo remaster.

  • AnimeWithRJ ⚄Toonami Hub⚃ (@AnimeWithRJ) reported

    How to Fix #Overwatch • Buff Mercy • Remove Anna • Add NEW Healer • Remove Backfill • Remove Endorsement System • Baptiste 6 Burst [ up from 3 ] • Remove Busan Maps • Add NYC Maps @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch @ATVI_AB

  • raidinator20 Raidinator20 (@raidinator20) reported

    @zangotang @Canadianguyehh Vicarious Visions (the company that made the N. Sane Trilogy) has been relegated to working on Overwatch 2, and now Toys For Bob (the company that made the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash 4) has now been relegated to Call Of Duty.

  • FloFluoro Flo P. (@FloFluoro) reported

    I don't think it's a coincidence that Activision sent Vicarious Visions and Toys for Bob to work in the Call of Overwatch gulag after Crash 4 sold less than N.Sane Trilogy Your nostalgia was pandered to, now go back to buying our triple-A shooters

  • Mikol1987 Mikol (@Mikol1987) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I'm having problems with Overwatch. It says it can't connect to server and it's retrying. Other games work fine.

  • glotacosm Tono Nogueras (@glotacosm) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey y'all. Can't seem to connect to Overwatch. Updated to latest patch, and get "Game Server Conncetion Failed... Retrying" Any known issues regarding this? This has never happened before for me.

  • FleXyCOD Sam (@FleXyCOD) reported

    @KaizerAllen @Superbconnor64 @CartridgeGames Hmm, maybe. I guess Activision dont really have any immediate plans for any games besides COD, Diablo and Overwatch 2 right now. Also they kinda know that COD is the biggest game in the world right now so they need to focus on it while they can. Crash and Spyro will be fine

  • LiveWithGur Gurinder Pabla (@LiveWithGur) reported

    @BlizzardCS #Overwatch servers down for NA? Keep getting "Game Server Connection Failed" for about 20 minutes now

  • RandomG80616986 RandomGuy (@RandomG80616986) reported

    @ErivianV @SFenagain @charlieINTEL Not only that but from what i know RIP to crash bandicoot, overwatch, WoW and all the other games these studios worked for. Do in conclusion we get:, broken *** games that are boring asf and no other great games from these other developers. Great👏🏻

  • TheTrueHeroic TheHeroicThing (@TheTrueHeroic) reported

    Unless a legend is added that peaks her interest. I just hope they dont go Overwatch route and change a character simply for fan service, that can **** off.
