Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • solid_snake83 David (@solid_snake83) reported

    @TeamYouTube thanks for answering my problem is that last week the blizzard overwatch league tournament was held, where it is assumed that if one visualized from 3 to 30 hours one could opt for free cosmetics, coins and skin

  • Terraball a normal robot (@Terraball) reported

    its so interesting watching the overwatch 2 stuff because clearly the decision they've made is "this is a service game, a one time payment isnt sustainable/reasonable to put work into it" but their existing player base is. people who expected to just do that one time payment

  • DILFZONE you must shake him by the hand (@DILFZONE) reported

    overwatch trying to make it up to me with a new hanzo skin after snubbing mauga WELL ITS NOT WORKING

  • ShanWinTheGod ShanTheGod (@ShanWinTheGod) reported

    @SteRusk @DeekeTweak Yep, no mention on that because Sony make more from Call of Duty. That game makes them literal millions, its why they have a problem, and are focusing on that. If you look at the bigger picture giving up Call of Duty exclusivity to make things like Diablo, Overwatch 3 etc 1/2..

  • ALoneCourier1 James Moore (@ALoneCourier1) reported

    @MemeRepos That's what Blizzard does-will, did to the first Overwatch constantly. It was funny watching players just find another version of the glitch made from the new fixes, lmao.

  • MysticOfLight Homoslavia 🇭🇷 (@MysticOfLight) reported

    @MJsaysthings I can’t even get my Overwatch 2 to work lol I tried updating and it kept giving me an error after lol

  • woodstockSSB jo!!! ☾ (@woodstockSSB) reported

    Is there any way to fix the bronze 5 glitch in Overwatch??? I went positive in my placements and it gave me bronze 5 lol like what

  • solid_snake83 David (@solid_snake83) reported

    @TeamYouTube hello good afternoon, I have the following problem last week I was watching the entire overwatch league where I only received "a couple of skins" when I saw the 30 hour live from my cell phone, what could have happened since by @blizzard zero solution

  • ImnetOg Tech_Halo47 (@ImnetOg) reported

    @Gppster Its just not fair to have *** teammates and you carry the match on overwatch like im losing matches here yall! Fix your **** @PlayOverwatch

  • BrookeTBigelow BT “FLORIDA WOMAN” Bigelow (@BrookeTBigelow) reported

    I absolutely LOVE it when I disconnect for an unpreventable reason on Overwatch and by the time I return the game has ended and my whole team thought I left deliberately and then the game itself penalizes me so I’m just left waiting out the timer like a sad clown

  • YourBuddyMin Min/Iris !! ☆♤♡ Mewo Meow (@YourBuddyMin) reported

    @JetSkyePrivate Look ill fix it , overwatch make me the next support , get some trans rep

  • Vuldrossa Vuldrossa (@Vuldrossa) reported

    Ok I am officially done with Overwatch until they fix the rampant issue with people leaving!! It is really starting to ruin comp and it is happening way too much. In my last 10 matches alone 6 or 7 of them had someone leave on my team in the first 5 minutes of the match.

  • Samburgamer1337 Samuel Ortiz (@Samburgamer1337) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have reopened my previous ticket and submitted a new second ticket. Unban my account, I never violated the code of conduct or terms of service yet remain unable to play Overwatch 2.

  • tinybluepixels ellie 🐝 crying into cereal at midnight (@tinybluepixels) reported

    the mark of a broken man. a man left with no options. no more hope. is to go bastion in overwatch

  • OfHerTimeSkip ᴛɪᴍᴇ ꜱᴋɪᴘᴘᴇʀ (@OfHerTimeSkip) reported

    @D1LFM4KER And the Frenchwoman is right... Well, she cant go back in time now and fix all of her errors..but she can start anew... So let them beging from scratch, from nothing, just as... Known contacts. She is Lena 'Tracer' Oxton, Test pilot of the Slipstream jet and overwatch Agent-

  • DavidJChalmers David Chalmers (@DavidJChalmers) reported

    I have no idea how people play controller and enjoy it. Feels so bad to me. If you prefer it then fair enough but honestly finding it hard to actually enjoy playing a game like Overwatch on console. Really miss playing mouse and keyboard on my PC. Wish my SSD would fix itself..

  • acornleaff Angela🍂 (@acornleaff) reported

    Overwatch 2 matchmaking sucks, all day I’ve been getting games with bronze players when I’m plat! Like Jesus Christ fix it already

  • xSmootx Jeven W. | 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦👑 (@xSmootx) reported

    OBS is staying at 0 kb/s since updating Windows 10 a few days ago (which also ****** my sound settings as per usual), unfortunately I'm going back to the ****** v28 of OBS & seeing if the problem is happening there. Here I thought it was just Overwatch eating resources yesterday

  • sadweeb Zac 🍧 (@sadweeb) reported

    I mean like What's the point of me having to choose which region to play on if I'm forced on a Server I can't even leave??? This is a big Issue for me in Overwatch 2

  • LapiceVT Lapice (@LapiceVT) reported

    I tried to set up League for my OBS and my pc decided to crash, i think it's a sign to stay away from the game LMAOO. ALSO I HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE OVERWATCH WOULDN'T LOAD IN AND GAVE ME A PENALTY SMH

  • MvZombie Zombie Mv (@MvZombie) reported

    @rockisinfinite Nobody plays Overwatch for campaign so it doesn’t matter halo had to wait a year for 2new maps and a finally coop campaign and desync is still an issue halo literally just got xp from games today lol

  • Zexias Matheus Faustino (@Zexias) reported

    @OnDeck Is anyone having issues with running Valorant or Overwatch with the new driver? Valorant is giving me a black screen and overwatch is saying "no compatible hardware...". This started happening after the update :/ Windows 10 with latest update

  • DexTheSwede Simon 'Dex' Mattsson (@DexTheSwede) reported

    Uninstalled Overwatch 2 until they fix competitive. Get on it, @PlayOverwatch.

  • Banana_Slurpyy Banana Slurpyy (@Banana_Slurpyy) reported

    Maybe the other support with 2k dmg and 2k healing is the problem. Or maybe the tank running solo is the problem. Or maybe the dps not hitting their ******* shots is the problem. I’m playing solo for the rest of my life. **** overwatch

  • SGHypnos eU Hypnos (@SGHypnos) reported

    @Akvvo @SephyGG @ChasenSG Wish they had it in quickplay atleast, and if I'm being honest as far as I can remember, console aim assist is literally so miniscule in Overwatch compared to every other game. Having aim assist in ranked play would not be an issue whatsoever

  • dustinmontanna theb00mking (@dustinmontanna) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am having trouble with my Overwatch 2 account, I submitted a ticket and was shrugged away. Can someone please DM me so I can get this figured out?

  • SeanStanglandDH Sean (@SeanStanglandDH) reported

    Just logged onto Overwatch for the first time in a couple weeks to discover that my main hero has been taken out of the game until at least Nov. 15 to fix a bug with an ability that has been there since Day 1. Another triumph for Blizzard.

  • LuisBosque5 Hireman1234 (@LuisBosque5) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm having trouble with sign in and when i put forget password it tells me the Authenticator which i never made one. Also why not make this easier and put playstation or xbox where people play overwatch to log in this is stupid

  • MarcelJ__ Marc31 (@MarcelJ__) reported

    Overwatch please fix ranking system, I don't like the new one. It is very bad and very confusing and makes me very sad

  • PezzaJr Pez (@PezzaJr) reported
