    @Spider053 @GoNintendoTweet That's the disc.. we're talking about the application itself you cannot play overwatch 1 anymore if you download old overwatch 1 (which you can't anymore but it still exists) it will tell you the service is down

  • YUNGBLOOD170 進撃のN——M——R (@YUNGBLOOD170) reported

    Overwatch 2 puts new players at a huge disadvantage at the start if you don’t spend 40 on the watch point pack to unlock the previous heroes, that’s much more of a problem than cosmetic skins.

  • Sleepyvolf 🎃Spoopyvolf (@Sleepyvolf) reported

    Can I get a show of hands: Who still can’t login to Overwatch 2? Error LC-208 hasn’t been fixed. Excuse the tags @ATVI_AB @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • shadowmatrix7 Shadow Nexus (@shadowmatrix7) reported

    Hey twitter, how can I fix the "rendering device lost" problem of overwatch?

  • philisit Phil Halloween Town (@philisit) reported

    Overwatch 2 still hasn't solved the problem of party members leaving during co-op missions, when one of their main selling points was co-op (which still hasn't been released). If someone drops you have to keep playing short-handed until everyone dies or quit.

  • Shizus_World Chikao Shizu - Devil's Canyon Arc (@Shizus_World) reported

    @IzumoHaruo Little broken in places, but seems ok ~I've played only 2 games, so I'm obviously the Overwatch master now~ hahaha :D

  • mingkhwanintim Ja (@mingkhwanintim) reported

    Is it just me or anyone else experiencing an issue with Overwatch 2 since last night? I just can’t get on it at all, despite how I uninstalled and reinstalled it on my Nintendo Switch. I just keep getting the same error message 🥲 #Overwatch2 #NintendoSwitch

  • Myrmidia Myrmidia ✦ on Patreon ✦ commissions CLOSED (@Myrmidia) reported

    They say that "all purchases made with Overwatch 2 coins are final and we aren't able to issue refunds for purchases made with virtual currency" Yeah, yeah. Can throw skins around like it's confetti, but you can't give out some "virtual currency". Wink wink.

  • __Ashcat_ Ashcat △△△ (@__Ashcat_) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been constantly getting an LC-208 error when trying to log in to overwatch 2, I've done everything stated on your support page and am still getting the same error every time. This has been going on for over a day.

  • SparkBugz SparkBugz (@SparkBugz) reported

  • sealoflegend The Legendary Seal (@sealoflegend) reported

  • Wkeful98 William Keful (@Wkeful98) reported

    @PlayOverwatch it has now been a full day and half and I still can’t login and access your game. I have been playing overwatch for years now and if this doesn’t get resolved soon then I’ll be pulling away. Fix your **** and fix your servers

  • _Zauz_ Z a u Z (@_Zauz_) reported

    @BlizzardCS I play overwatch 2 on switch and it keeps crashing! Every time I press A to play it will get up to the "Entering Game" loading text and crash. Please help.

  • hheyejejjr Hheyejejjr (@hheyejejjr) reported

    @BlizzardCS @SCRMINJELLYFISH for everyone who needs help since blizzards lacks competence, if you have a pc, download overwatch on it and sign in and go into the practice range, than exit to desktop and you should be able to sign in again on console

  • Sole_Fuzion Sole Fusion (@Sole_Fuzion) reported

    @Spex_J @taylorswift13 Do you know anything about many of the console players not being able to login since overwatch 2 Halloween update due to error lc-208?

  • _kaolinnn Kaolin (@_kaolinnn) reported

    @HokageLu thanks brother, overwatch gotta fix their system though they can't just be perma banning people with no evidence

  • JustCaustic ©️ (@JustCaustic) reported

    I really wanna stream some Overwatch for you guys but last time I tried I was getting some frame drops. How do I fix this?

  • SennySupreme Senny (@SennySupreme) reported

    I liked overwatch better when it was a "Dead game" because atleast I could get teammates who knew what they were doing and didn't feed 3-20 as the most broken tank in the game right now.

  • stxnkss stanks (@stxnkss) reported

    any1 know how to fix basically the deadline glitch from siege in overwatch, it isn’t smooth just so shaky

    @PlayOverwatch @Flats_OW Please fix your overwatch login error please

  • Nobaraism Chris (@Nobaraism) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Been getting LC-208 issues on Overwatch since last nights update, get the same error on the PS5 and PS4 versions. Any ETA on a fix for this issue.

  • tkk_coolben Tkk_coolben (@tkk_coolben) reported

    @BlizzardCS F#ck dragon flight and fix your main game overwatch 2 because half of the population can't play the game

  • icybubba Robert (@icybubba) reported

    @momentus_x3 @SacredIcon1 Disagree. What matters is what happens after now. SW Battlefront II had a horrible launch but is now looked on fondly to the point people are still pissed at EA for ending live service to it. Overwatch had a great launch but now.....generally isn't too favorable.

  • cockroachsundae FendiOnline 🎃 (@cockroachsundae) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix overwatch next

  • cyber17687 🎃 (@cyber17687) reported

  • optyck male wolverine (@optyck) reported
