Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GDelscribe Sejha (@GDelscribe) reported

    @TheActMan_YT The issue is not the pass itself and never was. And framing it this way is wrong. The issue is that 1: Overwatch was a paid game. Overwatch 2 is a free to play model. The battle pass in question is the original cost of the original game.

  • GamingKarebear 🐼Kare🐼 (@GamingKarebear) reported

    was thinking about getting overwatch 2 but ppl are saying its having issues? what going on with it??

  • thedomjabbar matt (@thedomjabbar) reported

    @LumaThe1andonly @TheActMan_YT I think the other big problem here is that overwatch 2 also incompasses the PvE mode that I’m REALLY excited for. They had to completely change the engine to make the coming campaign modes and create better ai. But since it’s separate from the multiplayer (which is now free!)

  • saitho95 Mario @Connichi 2022 (@saitho95) reported

    Tip for login queues of Overwatch 2: Try setting a different region. Im usually playing in EU but chose Asia as region. No login queue. Does not affect ping or who you're playing against. I'm still playing against EU players. 🤷 #overwatch2 #SeeYouOnTheOtherSide

  • PurpleGrayMikey PurpleGrayMikey (@PurpleGrayMikey) reported

    @LifeWithZitro @BlizzardCS They also didn't have to kill Overwatch 1 and launch a game in a state that is completely broken for countless tens of thousands of people. This is quite literally the worst launch in history.

  • WAG_Cavmedic Worst Average Gamer (@WAG_Cavmedic) reported

    @GamingKarebear It's mainly connecting issues and long waits to join. My buddy waited 45 mins in queue after being booted from the game. They are also saying that Overwatch 2 is getting DDoS attacks

    FIX THE ******* OVERWATCH SERVERS

    "I can't believe people are playing Overwatch, look at what Acti/blizz has done." - Some streamer on twitch, a platform owned by Amazon with a rap sheet of human rights issues longer than some facist regimes.

  • MrCoderz Coderz (@MrCoderz) reported

    So sick of login error on overwatch 2 after a hour wait in queue

  • KyojuroDevon Devon Kyojuro (@KyojuroDevon) reported

    Is Overwatch 2 a complete flail of a game that has tons of problems and can't seem to get an idea of what it is? Yes. Is it fun? I mean, yeaaaaaaaaaaaa.

  • Fat_Aime TWO SPOTS OPEN FOR LUST XLIX (@Fat_Aime) reported

    @BlackFootJoJo I'm an Ana main 😭 or at least I was when I played Overwatch and Nano Boost was broken as ****

  • YoungBeezy_93 Young Beezy🤑💎 (@YoungBeezy_93) reported

    that overwatch 2 queue be crazy. my first time going on i had 700 ahead of me..i get through the 700 they make sign in my battle account or whatever its called... Bro tell me why when i sign in they kick me out and give me another 300 wait fro... some bs

  • callumfffff callumfffff (@callumfffff) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent please i beg you fix this. there is no way i just waited 2 hours whilst my friends were playing to get onto only the main menu, to then not being able it party of with them because they're in "a different version of overwatch"

  • Misfit_Guy83 De-4 Dave🤘☠️🤘🎃 (@Misfit_Guy83) reported

    It seems there are still issues regarding login onto Overwatch 2. #Overwatch2

  • lesbiantsaritsa lucy ‎✵ too many wips (@lesbiantsaritsa) reported

    decided to stay logged into overwatch 2 so i wouldn’t have to see the error can’t log you in message 5 times but i turn my tv back on to ‘disconnected due to inactivity’

  • GDelscribe Sejha (@GDelscribe) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Second, the predatory design of buy before you try Heroes in free to play games has always been a blight on the industry. It isnt a good thing and never ever has been. The Pass itself is not the problem here and Overwatch 2 having a pass is not an issue.

  • HybargerSloane Mocha Bagel 👻 (@HybargerSloane) reported

    Not to sound like a broken record, but I’ve now been queuing for three days, over and over again, and I still have not gotten into Overwatch one time. All of my friends have gotten in, and even played multiple matches. I can’t even see the menu screen.

  • JustZync_ Zync (@JustZync_) reported

    The different version thing on overwatch 2 not allowing people to join is soo annoying they need to fix it asap #Overwatch2

  • nottyjovideo 🎥 🎬 (@nottyjovideo) reported

    somebody gotta explain to me what ddos attacks are when it comes to Overwatch because I live by the Pentagon and I'm scared.

  • mochii_tokyo Vtuber | Tokyo Mochii (@mochii_tokyo) reported

    Gonna stream overwatch 2 when I get home if all goes well gotta fix obs tho that **** was glitchy when I rewatched stream not sure I’m ok with it.

  • artolivs Artolivs (@artolivs) reported

    @SkyTooFlyy @ZekioZebra @PlayOverwatch Yeah, Right. I'm the delusional one here even though I showed you evidence that "Overwatch 1" was a live service LOL. What could I expect from someone that thinks that a new overwatch was needed. You seems to understand a lot about game development.

  • Burt_1770 Haven (@Burt_1770) reported

    So my overwatch account is not working. Like I have no skins or heroes unlocked (which is so dumb cause I was over level 400) can anyone help or explain why this is happening? #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatch2Guides

  • cisbane 𝖆𝖚𝖙𝖚𝖒𝖓 𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖊 (@cisbane) reported

  • justingill01 TheCanadianJustin (@justingill01) reported

    So I won't be playing overwatch 2 competitive until they fix the server

  • manel_exxposito Manel (@manel_exxposito) reported

  • BYugati Tuby The Bunny (@BYugati) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Day 3. Still can't login login error LC - 208. Have yet to see the main menu. :c i guess I wont be able to play overwatch 2 this week.

  • Poon_ster Poon_ster 🐍✨🐉 (@Poon_ster) reported

    Yesterday they launched overwatch 2 which is really just overwatch 1 with a big patch behind a gui filter. They charged everyone full price for this game and yet the servers could only handle 5000 people. Streamers who couldn’t get in were streaming the error message for hours

  • TobyCrowTC TC (he/they/it) (@TobyCrowTC) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Its been 24hrs since I tried to account merge. The account merge button on Overwatch 2 (PS4) is still doing nothing. My accounts have been linked since yall made it cross platform. Why is the button doing literally nothing not even an error message?
