Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jambodynanoodle Ian Davenport (@jambodynanoodle) reported

    Coming out of Twitter retirement for this public service announcement: If you main Bastion you are a mouth breather. #Overwatch

  • GhostProducti14 GhostProductions (@GhostProducti14) reported

    Resident evil was not working so ima just boot up overwatch instead stream starting soon :)

  • kiddtic Dennis Kidd Banda 🌹 (@kiddtic) reported

    This seems to be a problem for some as ''stoicism' is seen as cool! We are not allowed to express "hype" unless the masses approve of it or do it in unison. Im reminded of the time I called Overwatch GOTY after playing the Beta people looked at me funny and laughed

  • sine_tetris VENMO MERCENARY (@sine_tetris) reported

    @syperionn i'm not sure sure you can easily fix tilting from a rating mode on the end of the system - just look at games like overwatch where you end up getting people toxic as hell because they just want to win. wanting to win more than you want to have fun is going to typically ruin it

  • SimmingJoAnne65 JoAnne65 (@SimmingJoAnne65) reported

    @aliatanna_sims @longlu92 IP is the worst one. Takes a lot of preparation to kick out the errors ánd Overwatch & Errortrap, then it’s definitely playable. And the game needs a high end computer, that too. I can’t believe a proper open world wouldn’t be possible though, they really messed up things with 3.

  • Drake95Maverick Golden Quill (@Drake95Maverick) reported

    Ugh... the more I play Battlefield 2042, the more it feels like I'm playing a sloppy version of both Call of Duty and Overwatch. Hit boxes are inconsistent, sniping sucks because there's no button to zero in the scope, SVK DMR is broken to hell, and I may have discovered new bugs

  • ReallyDC_ DC (@ReallyDC_) reported

    @HaloSupport @Halo Why not enable a match quitter (game crash) system like Overwatch has, where you don't lose rank progress if you dont leave after someone else does after :30~:60 seconds?

  • _Xeneth2 xeneth  (@_Xeneth2) reported

    having a bad overwatch game? just disconnect what's blizzard gonna do? catch another lawsuit?

  • TheZeski Paul Brzeski 💉💉🌈🌏 (@TheZeski) reported

    Just wasted the last of my lunch break trying to get some #overwatch quick play in, only for the server to lag so badly my character literally walked off the edge of the map mid-game and wouldn't let me steer away. Cheers @Blizzard_Ent! Looking forward to Overwatch 2: Buggy City

  • kashlicaa Кашлицааааааа 😷 (@kashlicaa) reported

    @ModernWarzone The game is nothing special. Demanding high spec pc for that 2008 graphic... No game can't win COD or CS:GO/Overwatch. And the new mode in Halo is terrible. And CPU is going 100% the game is freezing and more errors and bugs.

  • xbl_xsk xS(ven)K (@xbl_xsk) reported

    cant wait to do the first overwatch cases for Halo, played the same cheater, i did 2 day ago, kinda sad to know we have 343i next to us to solve that issue. HCS cheating scandal when ?

  • ZenOfDesign Damion Schubert, Zen Designer (@ZenOfDesign) reported

    @chetfaliszek Overwatch got a LOT of my time before my first child was born (MP time has fallen way off since). It has this weird problem where the audience kept complaining it was getting stale, and on the flip side, they kept radically changing the meta.

  • Masuta1019 [ Masuta ] (@Masuta1019) reported

    Switching back to playing overwatch and destiny 2. I havent touched cod in months. Will they ever solve the 120gb+ issue?

  • TDofflin The Dofflin (@TDofflin) reported

    @fashy @jhoow13z @YourOverwatchYT > boredom is a player’s individual problem to solve Unless they want Overwatch to generate more revenue over its lifetime

  • BFudgee bfudge (@BFudgee) reported

    @BlizzardCS I need help processing my refund for overwatch. I try to refund it but it keeps saying error occured please try again

  • HellastorRS Olly 🎅 (@HellastorRS) reported

    @sprRed_ @vAstrro overwatch never had this problem at least not on console

  • Mormegil84 Chris (@Mormegil84) reported

    @CCKallen Yeah, man. I feel you on your rant. I wish I wasn't caught by live-service games, but quite a few of them got me. That engagement just keeps getting me back, for better or for worse. Thankfully, I did give up some of them a year ago, like Overwatch, Rogue Company and Spellbreak.

  • VyVy_13 SnowMonn {🦁🐰🌹}❄️☃️ (@VyVy_13) reported

    Ok but I still have trouble following LoL so waiting for someone to explain exactly how they won 🥲 Taeyong play Overwatch again next time pls~

  • Cardiac_Kids (I) (D) e (C) l a n (@Cardiac_Kids) reported

    Most broken things in overwatch Discord Anti Immo Rez Rally Notice a pattern?

  • AllxringSpider ᴍɪsᴛʀᴇss ᴀᴍᴇ́ʟɪᴇ (@AllxringSpider) reported

    Unable to find the (father), she's now having trouble being an Overwatch member, yet.. With her time off, she's understanding the new life isn't so bad! She's loving it. It'll be X months or weeks til she's due, and she can't be anymore excited to be a mother and do lewd acts!

  • irene_aimee aimee (commissions open) (@irene_aimee) reported

    Why is Overwatch keeps on lagging???? My internet works fine but the game just can't seem to play smoothly

  • OverkillTTV ThatOverkillGuy (@OverkillTTV) reported

    whats the point of doing ranked, getting into a high tier of ranked, only to be playing with people who are unranked in halo, this is the **** that got me leaving overwatch, @Halo fix this, or you will lose out like overwatch did...

  • vivitendoo eren (@vivitendoo) reported

    11:42 - I have been watching tiktoks for an hour and i was just about to start playing some overwatch I received an issue from QA regarding a crash and i quickly fixed it and sent the ticket back for testing, back to overwatch now

  • TheFlowerDragon Flower Dragon (@TheFlowerDragon) reported

    @grumpybunbun What the hell man...is this hack just shooting the closest target? Coz an aimbot will move the cross hair this is just bizarre. The headshot registers where your hanzo was standing but you die. Like overwatch isnt that broken even with lag.

  • Harley43033 Rooster_Senpai (aka Harley_Gibson) (@Harley43033) reported

    @HeyoShinra Games like fortnite, it was broken because people could L2 spam and it would auto aim that **** lol Overwatch, no. It only slows you down over the target and only if you're moving and not standing still.

  • Variann1 Variann (@Variann1) reported

    It's been almost 5 years since Overwatch was released and Roadhog is still only viable if his hook 1-shots half the roster and Genji is only viable when is nano blade is broken.

  • its_capri Dee (@its_capri) reported

    @Rainbow6Game We all know hackers are a problem, but have y’all considered a community Overwatch system similar to what CSGO had?

  • hanimemalware yeah (@hanimemalware) reported

    22 min overwatch game made my xbox crash entirely

  • UnversedKi unversed_ki (@UnversedKi) reported

    Sorry everyone stream will have to continue tomorrow for some reason my connection to overwatch is just not happening I keep getting the lost connection to server issue don’t know why but I am so I’ll catch y’all tomorrow for the next one!

  • Fodyyy__ Fod🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Fodyyy__) reported

    @FatedNapalmz @Lycan There’s an MnK problem on literally every single FPS on console. Overwatch, COD (before and even now that it’s supported), hell even survival games like DayZ, Rust and Ark have the same problem. It’s not R6’s fault, lol.
