  • joes85olds Joe Maddon's 85 Olds (@joes85olds) reported

    @CPD1617Scanner @for_017 A few snipers on overwatch solves this problem.

  • Mr40Fish Mr40Fish🐠 (@Mr40Fish) reported

    For the people excited about the winter event for overwatch just know dont bother trying to get the challenges done rn I just spent a bit doing them and realized after that its not even recording any of the progress its bugged, @PlayOverwatch has to fix them

  • theonlytman2 Theonlytman2 (@theonlytman2) reported

    @dinabass The FTC can argue about Starfield/Redfall, but there's issues. 1. They are new IPs with undetermined success or failure. 2. COD would be legally multiplatform BY LAW. 3. Activision's other games like WOW and Overwatch 2 would stay on their current platforms.

  • eepysnugglebug stickbug (@eepysnugglebug) reported

  • GCharle60402168 :/ (@GCharle60402168) reported

    @Aisance6 Me two, I don't know how sign in. Overwatch sucks then Battlefield 20?? who have a lot of Bots and Bugs.

  • QuandlePringle Quandale Pringle (@QuandlePringle) reported

    does anyone know how to fix overwatch 2 credits not aappearing on ps4

  • TSwarder Tom Swarder (@TSwarder) reported

    @MadFanBoyBlack @TheEconomist Okay so here's the thing, yes while it's making a big company even bigger, it's putting franchises like call of duty, overwatch, Spyro, crash in the right hands. Hands who will treat the franchise and it's player base with respect. Unlike Activision on its own.

  • TheePapaJoe PapaJoe🇵🇷🇵🇷 (@TheePapaJoe) reported

    @SpinalFark how is this a me problem I QUIT OVERWATCH LIKEEEE

  • chaewonville 😹 (@chaewonville) reported

    i had to ditch watching aaa to download overwatch 2 but its stuck at ******* 99% im having the same problem as everybody but theres no proper solution to the problem FIX THIS!!!!

  • Chrona_Trigger Chrona Trigger (@Chrona_Trigger) reported

    @KeithDouglass2 @Grilled_Keese @Darktide40K Plenty of people with good PCs have been crashing; this is likely a driver issue for nvidea card. Overwatch had a similar issue with AMD back in like, 2015. Had to wait for AMD to put out a driver update.

  • CeleREDUX Bondforged Celery (@CeleREDUX) reported

    @dayokooshino The free to play nightmare I guess...my issue with overwatch is that almost all the cosmetics were free and now it cost tens of thousands of dollars to get what was once free and only had to be paid for with your time.

  • kaipurge Kai Purge (@kaipurge) reported

    @DredgenQ @Axuonsopo @PlayOverwatch I just go disconnected twice and have a 55 minute comp ban. if that happens from just 2 disconnects imagine how long 3 would be. Overwatch 2 is extremely buggy the last two days. I have been an overwatch streamer since season 7 of overwatch 1. Never had this issue before

  • Revision_124c41 Kyle Peplow (@Revision_124c41) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Cool. Could you apply a hotfix for this other rather serious bug. I think they call it Overwatch 2. It start appearing around september. Things like 6v6 keeps leaving a tank out and now there is this weird MTX thing. Oh and I think payload mode is broken, there is a robot now?

  • Aatuyv Atomizer (@Aatuyv) reported

    @InTheShadeYT Nobody had a problem with Gaylorant being a literal copy of overwatch

  • r1iahh Mariah Carpenter (@r1iahh) reported

    Dear Overwatch, Stop trying to fix a dead game. #Overwatch #OverwatchRankingSystem

  • Casual_Jacob_ Casual Jacob🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@Casual_Jacob_) reported

    If this headache is gone by stream time, I'm going to play some more Hades until my hands say no more, and then we'll swap to Overwatch. December 15th, I'll be playing the new game Blacktail assuming there's no technical issues with streaming it on my end.

  • Dskins207 skins207 (@Dskins207) reported

    @GuyThat92 @CoreyHikari You as a player would still have Starfield on Game Pass. but you'd also have Call of Duty on Game Pass Crash Bandicoot on Game Pass. Spyro the Dragon on Game Pass. Diablo on Game Pass. OverWatch on Game Pass. do I need to go on? why is that a problem for you?

  • yukinoisfree 🤡⬆️ (@yukinoisfree) reported

    My overwatch twitch drops are not working , anyone else?

  • BBwife38 bbwife38 (@BBwife38) reported

    @BlizzardCS @KlaraaSWE I am having the same issue. I unlinked and relinked and that didn't work. I show I have the spray in my drops, but there is no option to claim it. Under campaigns there is no option to for Overwatch campaigns as well.

  • tonguisgaming Tongui (@tonguisgaming) reported

    Blizzard should fix their entire menu on overwatch 2. I just hate checking my career profile/highlights/other people's profiles and pressing back and instantly going back to the main menu. #overwatch2 #blizzard2022

  • V1DEOG1RL m*khi (@V1DEOG1RL) reported

    idk what wifi i’ve been playing overwatch on but i’ve been lagging so bad and it finally didn’t even let me play today but i just fixed my wifi and got the ramattra achievement😭😭😭 I don’t even remember when i got it it just gave it to me after turning my xbox on

  • xox_seikoku xoxSankaku ▽ (@xox_seikoku) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hear me out, every seven days you play, you get a lootbox as a sort of login reward? #Overwatch

  • Unsaltedsalt__ UnsaltedSalt (@Unsaltedsalt__) reported

    wait did they fix the framey, stutter issues? my overwatch feels smooth asf

  • dullpyro Corey (@dullpyro) reported

    @transparencyboo Whilst this is obviously a burnout problem I understand the sentiment in regard to multiplayer FPS. If you don't want to play the newest COD, BR or tactical shooter you have very few options outside of Overwatch, TF2 and Halo. Plus he has to cater to twitch at the same time.

  • ItsCamNotCan Meta // Cam (@ItsCamNotCan) reported

    @Zonar_ow @Overbuff I had this issue too, apparently its a delay on Overwatch's end. I just had to wait a bit and it worked eventually
