Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FaucetSoap Easter (@FaucetSoap) reported

    @Seggstra2 @CuppaDeluxe @UBERSOY1 Here, and Overwatch became bad because the devs refused to fix their combat and server system, not because one character turned out to be gay

  • dinnerattoms sorryjoana_your_slut (@dinnerattoms) reported

    @xfemboi Hangzhou spark skins are my pink overwatch fix lol

  • joshsch19 josh schneider (@joshsch19) reported

    @Alpharad @gsmVoiD Morty is the new Bastion from Overwatch. No matter how much they try and nerf him, he will still be incredibly broken.

  • Teh_Specter Noctis (@Teh_Specter) reported

    Sure no one is going to care about my bitching which is fine. But ffs this game is broken on so many levels. My win/loss record is bad because partly to me yes having bad days, but a majority of my losses comes from terrible healing and tanks. **** you overwatch. Overrated pos.

  • rando9292 Chad Chiaki enjoyer (Rando) (@rando9292) reported

    @amv_society @_XboxNews Your not wrong but same could be said for all future Bethesda games or probably a lot of Activision Blizzard franchises (crash, spyro, prototype, Tony hawk, diablo, overwatch, warcraft, starcraft, ect.) or other companies because they are probably not done after Activision

  • s7tosugu dyl! (@s7tosugu) reported

    my playstation is lagging so bad GIRL!!! let me play overwatch I need to make sure everyone else knows I kick *** as Soldier and suck *** at the rest of the roster

  • kkiv24 ّ (@kkiv24) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I cant login to overwatch 2 from my ps5. It have been 2 hours since i purched it and it keeps telling me “ login error, failed to connect to game server. Please try again later “

  • scienceninjagal Dr Meg Pusey (@scienceninjagal) reported

    @ChronoJoe @Steve_Bromley What about for online/in-service games? E.g. Destiny, Overwatch, League etc? Maybe not designing for you as an individual, but listening to the community as a whole?

  • UsagiCola Sleepy Space Witch 🛏💤🌌 (@UsagiCola) reported

    @birdlegscass It's a balancing act but I think "you beat the hardest difficulty: have a prize" is totally reasonable. I think its only a problem with like. Thinkinf back to me grinding out overwatch matches for event lootboxes because I had one day left to get the exclusive mccree skin.

  • TheAaronLad Aaron (@TheAaronLad) reported

    @Stallion83 I found a fix through reddit for that bullshit load any game that isn't series x/s enhanced such as overwatch or red dead redemption 2 or like ac rogue, just using games I've used as examples, literally loading it is enough (as long you get off the splash screen) then quit it.

  • Afran_OW Afran (@Afran_OW) reported

    anybody else getting insane lag spikes and just unable to play cause ping is just spiking? (on overwatch)

  • garretttrp2 🇺🇦 (@garretttrp2) reported

    it reminds me of overwatch for gameplay (obviously not *just* that alone) and update cycles, but it wins not having content slowdowns, bad additions or problems otherwise that ow had - i haven't seen anywhere near as much complaining as i was expecting compared to things like it

  • amcd011 andrew or andy or whatever ******** my name is (@amcd011) reported

    I want a character like mercy from overwatch in multiversus. Dogshit at most things but unholy mobility and healing/support. Only problem is I don’t know who that should be in terms of the exact character

  • avoblackfyre Ozz (@avoblackfyre) reported

    @GeekGamingDad @XcloudTimdog Thats my line of thought for franchises that already have a platform like COD warzone and overwatch 2, but any new IP live service game that's never been on PlayStation I believe will be exclusive plus regular one shot games and IP. Will see what happens

  • haleylizs Haley Stuart Seefeld (@haleylizs) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS, do you ever plan to fix the AI Mode bug in Overwatch? Whenever I queue up for Medium or Hard, then select any of the "While You Wait" modes, it automatically changes me to the Easy queue. I at least hope you plan to make sure it doesn't happen with OW2.

  • Chewmonster92 James Alexander VA (@Chewmonster92) reported

    @pyroriffic I have an even bigger issue, I don’t remember how to play Overwatch. 😱( And I need to reinstall it)

  • BlizzardCS Blizzard CS - The Americas (@BlizzardCS) reported

    @PinkEricka2 Are you trying to log into OW2 Alpha/Beta? That is not currently active. Standard Overwatch should be though. If that is the game you are attempting to log into, what errors are you getting? ~V

  • solidunicorn6 Daddy Hercules (@solidunicorn6) reported

    Or we could get a good player info panel? I mean overwatch dropped 3 years prior and still has a good career profile page. Only problem is people on private, but that way we could have what characters, guns, and teammates characters all layer out plus we could

  • dark_riser_p Dark_riser_phenex (@dark_riser_p) reported

    @TieflingMelissa Than i have a problem i play in games like Overwatch support my self

  • TheDoomerPluto Ripperverse Will Win 🟡⚫️ (Pluto/Morpheus) (@TheDoomerPluto) reported

    The whole "esports ruined gaming" is such a lazy take Overwatch literally died because they didn't listen to pros for 2 years and had balance issues so bad it killed the game Stop

  • worldofmayja World of Mayja | SWAY (@worldofmayja) reported

    @streamschemes I streamed Overwatch, had no camera, and my sound was through my microphone. I had one viewer, my husband. I had no overlay. I was live for a couple hours. You couldn’t hear any game sound at first, and I spent a ton of time live troubleshooting issues lol!

  • Wynteolrambles Wynteol (@Wynteolrambles) reported

    Now I don't know if it's Overwatch or twitch that is the problem but ... just the other day I was able to stream for 5 hours with no problem besides I was sleepy ...

  • FlameKainz Kainz | Dragon vtuber 🐉🍷 - 2.0 COMING SOON! (@FlameKainz) reported

    17. I want to stream competitive games more actively, like overwatch, valorant or apex legends. Unfortunately i am currently experiencing a few tech issues and lag with my current setup when attempting to stream these games.

  • ihyAzula 𝒶𝓏𝓊𝓁𝒶 ♡ (@ihyAzula) reported

    you can tell a lot about someone’s overwatch rank by whether or not they think doomfist is broken

  • mogul_ts Uncle Mogi 🦈 (@mogul_ts) reported

    @Twlight05 Yeah I'm usually never a big fan of those type of physical boxes, Overwatch, Crash, and Spyro all did it

  • Sh1nmenT4kez0 Chito Vera Fanclub President (@Sh1nmenT4kez0) reported

    I don’t care about hot button issues like “student loans” I only care about playing Overwatch

  • MenacingWinds Sanemi Shinazugawa (@MenacingWinds) reported

    @flutterflykanao //I understand your problems with League the for me xd. I will try it because @/POISONXDFLIGHT asked and she doesn't play Overwatch🤔
