  • MaestroHaru Haru はる (@MaestroHaru) reported

    I was happily playing Overwatch 2 before the update dropped with no issues. Immediately as I update the game and get in, my fps drops to literally 1 and flickers around 10 or 15 and its become impossible to even try anything in game let alone play the game. Ugh wtf.

  • theSalmonRoll Kevin. (@theSalmonRoll) reported

    I like the new direction Blizzard is taking with this new Overwatch hero. Instead of being broken on release, it's possibly the worst hero in the game!

  • Miszmii Lisette (@Miszmii) reported

    Yo @Blizzard_Ent , fix your servers on @PlayOverwatch. I can't play Overwatch on 300 ping!

  • onlinefemcel Rina (@onlinefemcel) reported

    overwatch need to fix their **** bro

  • coruscanttt 𝕽𝖆𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖑 is going to SWCL 🖤 (@coruscanttt) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN hi guys, trying to buy the s4 battlepass in overwatch and it keeps putting me in a queue that is jumping from 21k to 15k to 22k back and forth etc. Are there any known issues re: purchases in client?

  • KyleLautenbach Kyle Lautenbach (@KyleLautenbach) reported

    @QuodSoler I keep going back to the Overwatch talks about lag compensation and stuff for a shooter-preference approach. GAS can rewind effects that shouldn't have been applied (really glad it has that), movement stuff gets complex (like a dash needing to be corrected back if stunned).

  • creamyriko isabel / creamyyriko ★ (@creamyriko) reported

    “15 minutes of overwatch queue on this update is so bad !!!!” i was literally stuck in queue for 2.5 DAYS. when overwatch 2 dropped. the ddos was so horrible, i lost all my career profile hours (1128hrs worth of data) and i had to buy a us number just to play early.

  • ragecr3w_ Ragecr3w (@ragecr3w_) reported

    I don’t lag in: Apex Overwatch Fortnite Rogue company I do lag in: ******* TEKKEN 7 Netcode. Fix it.

  • cvltsss luci's spawn (@cvltsss) reported

  • dustinvance65 dustin (@dustinvance65) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been charged 4 times and received no currency. I wanted to buy $10 worth of overwatch coins and came back later like it said and have been charged for each attempt and received nothing. I don’t want $40 worth of overwatch coins I only want $10 please fix this I need my money

  • Squatchums Squatchums (@Squatchums) reported

    Love when you try to throw $30 plus tax at overwatch for digital content and it refuses your money because of an error lol

  • Red_Hanrahan Red Hanrahan 🇮🇪 ハヌラハンーあか 🇺🇦 💪 (@Red_Hanrahan) reported

    @mbevan2002 @IRLDeptDefence This problem pre dates POTUS visit, and will last long after he's gone. They don't care about foreign overwatch. @IRLDeptDefence is staffed by incompetents. They lack the expertise for the task that is assigned them. That and an ideological aversion to the concept of defence.

  • sandalmanz Sandals🍄 (@sandalmanz) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your ******* overwatch queue times you DIPSHITS

  • thenamelessfan Thenamelessfan (@thenamelessfan) reported

    Like, I get that technical issues on high demand are a thing but damn, this is new even for Overwatch standards. Used to work fine back when new updates causes long server connecting queues.

  • wake_thejake Jacob McDaniel (@wake_thejake) reported

    @BlizzardCS in the queue to buy the battle pass for Overwatch, it keeps bouncing between around 6000 - 18,000 with zero consistency? Is it broken and should I wait to buy or should I stay in this queue?

  • VooDooDad so fresh so clean (@VooDooDad) reported

    The lag in Overwatch has been unbearable lately

  • shrpblades violet ´꒳` (@shrpblades) reported

    Overwatch genuinely needs to fix their report-review system fixed , there’s no way good dps players get banned for no reason and even less chance for tank/support players to also meet the same ends due to mass reporting or simply a blizzard employee that doesn’t play the game.

  • t0xicdva annie🥮 (@t0xicdva) reported

    has anyone else’s lag been super bad with this new overwatch patch

  • Elysian_Saiyan Jared Dake (@Elysian_Saiyan) reported

    @BlizzardCS My brother is having issues logging into his overwatch account after being wrongfully banned. What can he do?

  • mr_evaporation Fake Crash (@mr_evaporation) reported

    @ATVI_AB @CrashBandicoot Bestie can we get crash in overwatch?

  • Luminous_Kaze LuminousKaze (@Luminous_Kaze) reported

    Not even 30 minutes into Overwatch and I crash. THEN IT WANTS ME TO UPDATE AGAIN ;-;

  • itsbloodymarie marie (@itsbloodymarie) reported

    Everyone is complaining about rank decay still being in overwatch this season yet I got placed a rank higher in dps & open q? Ended Diamond 5 and they put me Diamond 4. Deranked on main role. Rank is suppose to reflect our mmr this season so the game really said skill issue

  • 48bkv moo (@48bkv) reported

  • MercurialMoose Grim Grinning Moose (Dan) (@MercurialMoose) reported

    @BlizzardCS what is up with the checkout in Overwatch to buy more credits? My place in line is fluctuating wildly. I started in the 13,000's, then dropped down to 9000's, then up to 17,000's and have jumped as high as 21,000's. How is this broken this badly?

  • gutg0r3 julia (@gutg0r3) reported

  • Nuecifraga 👁️ nue 👁️ (@Nuecifraga) reported

    Overwatch broke so hard, 300 ping, no one can buy anything, errors out when trying to enter the game, projectiles don't work right because of the ping... Blizzard is an indie company

  • OMGItsKittie 💜 Kittie - Brie 💙 (@OMGItsKittie) reported

    Finally got my PC on. Dunno if it was switching which monitor was plugged into where or moving around my usb ports. Now back to fixing the main issue overwatch/apex crashing randomly. 😒

  • sprinting_sprtn sprtn (@sprinting_sprtn) reported

    @ItsTropica @PlayOverwatch I'm probably gonna go play overwatch for a while, apex is just unplayable rn, hope they fix it in the future but that's unlikely.

  • Calistalize Calista (@Calistalize) reported

    After 50+ minutes of waiting in queue to purchase Overwatch 2 coins. I was kicked out due to a proxy error. I was 17th in line ((:
