Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • daddy_final FinalBossDaddy (@daddy_final) reported

    @agoonergamble @jasonschreier @Wario64 Call of duty, overwatch, Diablo, crash, tony hawk, at least 3 of those games player base alone and the potential loss of that player base is enough that Xbox won’t actually cut ties

  • peachposting 🌺 Peachu 🌺 (@peachposting) reported

    @weeabob You don’t get it... it’s really important that he plays overwatch and spends money on skins that show tracers feet without feeling like he’s part of the problem

  • KennedyConfused KennedyIsConfused (@KennedyConfused) reported

    @Spoo_Kay Same thing that happened to overwatch a year or two ago, they add **** that doesn’t work but they won’t admit they messed up so they add more **** hoping it’ll fix it

  • Ramez05 Ramez | #NewWorldMMO (@Ramez05) reported

    @Neopabo2 have they? i think the main reason people stop playing activision games like cod, overwatch and wow is because they are bored of them not because they give af about social issues.

  • c7haddad RK9 (@c7haddad) reported

    @Kaijammo My streams always did this when playing overwatch. Tried 100 different things and could never fix it, adjusted settings in game and on stream, nothing worked. Never happened for any other game :(

  • Peacock_Suede Peacock_Suede (@Peacock_Suede) reported

    @moshjosh619 When 90 percent of the issue is WoW and that development team i see 0 reason why overwatch 2 should not drop… you want to fix things you start at the problem not skirt around it

  • SagirKhan_ Sagir (@SagirKhan_) reported

    @SkillUpYT Why take care of the problem when you can change the name of another Overwatch character. Slap that bandaid over that gaping wound and call it a fix.

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

    For everyone hoping they'll fix overwatch, it's not happening. If you haven't realized @Blizzard_Ent doesn't even care about its own employees let alone what the pc and console players of their games want fixed.

  • lyro_daniel RIP Sony’s Japan Studio (Vaxxed) (@lyro_daniel) reported

    @PSUdotcom How about all Activision Blizzard games? But I know it’s gonna be hard or sad for Overwatch, Diablo or Crash and Spyro fans?

  • KahunaCilver520 William Short!! (@KahunaCilver520) reported

    @tinivule What Bullcrap did I spout? I told the truth. Face it! Activisions biggest partner are Sony and Microsoft because that's where most their fan base is! Yeah they gave us Crash Spyro, Diablo, and Overwatch how often are people going to Nintendo for Activisions Titles?

  • ShinobiRk Shinobi (@ShinobiRk) reported

    @Avotick2 @wmelucci06 @LegacyKillaHD Activision has Crash 4, Trilogy, Spyro Trilogy, Overwatch and a few other games in there.

  • MelodyBurst Melody Burst (@MelodyBurst) reported

    Sell me Activision Blizzard I will not treat anyone bad and I have bold new visions for their franchises (throwing Diablo, Starcraft, COD, and Overwatch in a trash can and just making another Crash Bandicoot)

  • MuffinzCat Muffin 🔞 (@MuffinzCat) reported

    @OrtizYohnny @The888J @bdsams Overwatch was never good, i feel like a broken record saying that game awards are made by people that don't play games for fun and it shows... A lot

  • asian360_yt T3x_YT (@asian360_yt) reported

    @AceOFSpadesOW Ofc! I gotta appreciate the stream you do for all of us! I wanna make sure the Overwatch community gets that support it needs to go through this painful game with so many problems lol. Making content out of thin air

  • Hello3167 Hello3167 (@Hello3167) reported

    @KuV3dR @Halo @Twitch My issue isn't the hip fire thing, I play games like overwatch that are mostly hip fire as well, I'm talking about the actual movement of your aim when you move the thumbstick feels veylry clunky. It doesn't even feel like old halos

  • ElAcordeonachi El Acordeonachi (@ElAcordeonachi) reported

    Since they delayed Overwatch 2 to til 2023, that won't be a problem, unless they keep him for that long. Though a paid Destiny 2 update might throw a money wrench in. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Right now, it's obvious Kotek needs to get the boot.

  • Bulby37 Bulby37 (@Bulby37) reported

    @The_LastFudo Agreed, I’m not going to dispute the bias angle, people are inherently biased quite often. The no 2d rule is bunk though, there’s just a bias towards single player, story driven games that only Overwatch had broken through to win GotY from TGA.

  • awwwhe11 AWWWHE11NAWW (@awwwhe11) reported

    @SpyUnamed @SDBurnOW As Activision Blizzard continues to face a series of ongoing controversies, it has been revealed that ex-Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan protected his team from "corporate BS" while with the company and tried to rectify cultural issues with his departure.

  • tinivule Cross (@tinivule) reported

    @KahunaCilver520 What does that have to do with anything? A/B stil put out a ton of games on NIntendo systems. Everything outside of COD really. Diablo, OVerwatch, crash, Tony Hawk, almost all of their biggest Franchises are on switch.

  • Tnecwin The Hallow ten (@Tnecwin) reported

    @Magolor44 @Zingus5 I mean... Overwatch is NOT a bad game. I genuinely would say it is overall a really good game. It has issues (as all games do) but it itself isn't even remotely close to bad.

  • KodaKazar Koda89 - ENVTuber ^( ;,; )^ (@KodaKazar) reported

    @BadTasteFPS @SirMammothy @JeffGrubb They may not have COD(and won’t be getting Diablo 4), but the Switch has Spyro, multiple Crash titles, Tony Hawk, Overwatch, and Diablo 3 and the recent remaster of 2, so they’ve basically been putting every ActiBliz title the system can run on it.

  • Shaukdotdj ShaukDotDJ (@Shaukdotdj) reported

    @God_ofMisch1ef Fun in a weird way. Lots of random issues that can ruin a session but I went on a 6 game streak yesterday without a single problem and it felt good. I say in a weird way cuz it's all doomy & gloomy story wise but all the specialists act like overwatch heroes quipping 1 liners

  • solarsailor08 Andrew (@solarsailor08) reported

    @G27Status Activision is ******. This scandal causing Sony and MS to consider their options, COD sales down 40% this year, Diablo 2 is broken, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 delayed until 2024. Damn.

  • grinninsquash Quarantine Jeans (@grinninsquash) reported

    @Nohbdy2020 @JonComms They layed off over 800 people during a year of record profit and yet you weirdo shills keep making this argument. Sorry you wanted to play overwatch 2 and still pretend you cared about the issue.

  • EeveeA_ EeveeA 🧡 VTUBER (@EeveeA_) reported

    Patch for Overwatch should be rolling out that fixes the exploit allowing people to target and crash streamer's games.

  • xBigCatx Big Cat (@xBigCatx) reported

    @ItsFuzzyPickles Universal could buy Crash and Spyro - IMO they should go wherever together. Overwatch feels like it should be an independently company that buys the IP.

  • Imoogi_Nvrmore Sasha 사샤 교 🇺🇸 | Imoogi Nevermore (@Imoogi_Nvrmore) reported

    Sorry I'm an hour and some late to tweet this, there will not be a stream today. A) I woke up late. B) Converting over to OBS... I noticed SL has been having a lot of frame issues the past few weeks for like when I play Overwatch or something not resource heavy... YAY CONVERTING

  • lyro_daniel RIP Sony’s Japan Studio (Vaxxed) (@lyro_daniel) reported

    @PSUdotcom How about all Activision Blizzard games? But I know it’s gonna be hard or sad for Overwatch, Diablo or Crash and Spyro fans? I’m against Bobby Kotick, don’t worry.

  • channystreams channy (@channystreams) reported

    @Unyshek Thanks for this. Another thing I’ve noticed is that mouse input feels a tad wonky. It’s potentially due to input lag from borderless window. As a tenured mnk player, overwatch has the gold standard for mouse input and I’d love for this game to feel similarly.

  • fm_ntyguy Ŧยภк E. Cheese (@fm_ntyguy) reported

    @JonComms Tf do they even make outside of Crash and Overwatch lmao I refuse to wrack my brain for obvious answers I probably know or look further. Pirate their games or ignore them lol
