Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • KILLANDREZ 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑷𝑬𝑹 🚧🛠️ (@KILLANDREZ) reported

    Over the years Blackwatch's operations grew increasingly dark, and brought problems for Overwatch, blaming it on Reyes. He decided to take command of Overwatch in an assassination attempt on Jack Morrison, which failed after a fight between them... . . .

    @Overwatch2Rev @binbonbunnny @HoshizoraOW While i agree that their is a difference some people do state the obvious, even if it is hateful or sarcastic. Issue 1 still being skill based matchmaking being an issue since overwatch 1 for example, it’s getting old and people are getting mad about it, it’s why i stopped playin

  • KanataOW Kanata (@KanataOW) reported

    Iv never played a game that makes me more stressed and pissed off as overwatch has the matchmaking is so unbalanced widow one shotting n never missing shots soldier is *** sojourn is still broken hog is busted game is so unbelievably unfun low key might quit already

  • Austin08park Austin Park (@Austin08park) reported

    @PlayOverwatch overwatch, no matter how good you are you cannot rank up if you’re stuck in silver. You cannot!!! Because you get stuck with horrible teammates, FIX YOUR MATCHMAKING!!!!!!

  • ninosmall1 Nino Small (@ninosmall1) reported

    @videotech_ Imagine if something like this happened on Overwatch or Fortnite - companies would scramble to release a statement and then go on overtime to fix it. Meanwhile R* is staying silent like usual. *sigh*

  • SmoggyLamb49 Smoggylamb (@SmoggyLamb49) reported

    Is @OBSProject broken? Overwatch 2 won't produce an image especially when "Capture any specific window" is selected.

  • CafeTigers what the bingle?! :3 | Twitch (@CafeTigers) reported

    Is Overwatch not working for anyone else? The game just freezes on the start screen when I try to launch it

  • S0ULPARADE peccy!! 🇷🇺 🇵🇸 🇸🇦 (@S0ULPARADE) reported

    @raiseasilly Righttt...im mad personally bc OW has such a great range of characters who, &from a design and conception point of view, are absolutely perfect but the problem is its overwatch so... They won't ever be more than what they are...

  • Akaibeeyume 𝙰𝚔𝚊𝚒𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚢𝚞𝚖𝚎🍥 (@Akaibeeyume) reported

    ah my internet decided to crash while playing overwatch comp ahhh nice

  • NamalTv Bibou (@NamalTv) reported

    @PaladinsGame Until they fix everything I’ll never play again. I’m just tired, as many veterans of this game. And stop sending survey to know why people don’t play anymore, you already know the answer but don’t care. I’m having fun on overwatch 2 now, hard to do better.

  • nicorobinfan157 Liam (@nicorobinfan157) reported

    my mouse is broken how am i supposed to play overwatch like this

  • Saku_Uruha Touka 👺🪱 (@Saku_Uruha) reported

    b ack to overwatch hope that doesnt crash on me like fortnite and bloodhunt do wheeee

  • ki1roy tristan (@ki1roy) reported

    @ValorLeaks agent skins, i don’t think it would cause an issue like in csgo because of the player outlines, and teams in VCT could each have their own team skins they use in tournament like overwatch league.

  • SagirKhan_ Sagir (@SagirKhan_) reported

    @JezCorden About to delete Overwatch 2 as soon as I complete this season pass. I don't have the bandwidth to play 1 live service games, let alone 3. Destiny 2 will forever be a part of my life. Need to decide what to do with Modern Warfare 2.

  • RiffandR RiffandRage (@RiffandR) reported

    @SamitoFPS If you want to have a guranteed miserable experience, playing Overwatch 2 is pretty much going to do it every game. Never seen a game go so wrong in 2 Seasons.... Season 3 is going to be a car crash.

  • AnonymousAr7ist 🍁TheAnonymousArtist🍁 (@AnonymousAr7ist) reported

    A few people from my overwatch friends list are gone, has anyone else had this problem? D:

  • hasta_la_vistar 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐧 ⚡︎ (@hasta_la_vistar) reported

    Overwatch 2 needs a way to distinguish leaving a comp match vs disconnecting due to wifi/connection issues. I don't think I should be punished for getting kicked off my wifi network for no reason🥲

  • MEWILLROCKME thia @ ******** INBOUND IN 2 MONTHS (@MEWILLROCKME) reported

    hmm. crash bandicoot got nonbinary rep before overwatch did

  • Shakeyspeares Shakeyspeare (@Shakeyspeares) reported

    @jmeyels Hate to see Apex on it's *** like this JM. I would say I can deal with it because I can always hop on overwatch to break things up but ranked is busted on there also. I really can't comprehend how they mess things up so bad. It's like some part of the matchmaking code is broken.

  • wonderlandlust_ lauren 𓃰 (@wonderlandlust_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch okay Overwatch, I have the no friends bug, AND the no replays bug, AND the voice chat nameplate icon bug. Can we please fix these things finally?

  • ohgoditsranor Ranor (@ohgoditsranor) reported

    @tylercolp wow I can't believe mercy is the only reason overwatch has had balance problems since 2016

  • johnsel44426414 hatesomemore (@johnsel44426414) reported

    @LycaosWolf @TommyTucker11O @Justin_Neagle but overwatch never said those skins were exclusive and that's the issue

  • legolyndon Lyndon (@legolyndon) reported

    Overwatch is just not fun anymore man. The matchmaking is so ******* broken it's ridiculous. Every time I log on, I lose a few matches then log off due to sadness.

  • dub1ino dysfunctional (@dub1ino) reported

    ive been saying this for so long at this point, but a draft pick in overwatch competitive is so necessary. it would solve so many issues in the game. it would also make balancing easier. don’t let people swap characters after selecting them.

  • bodil40 Bodil40 (@bodil40) reported

    @Xtimus @dbrunski125 it's honestly classic modern blizzard. Release a good 'vanilla' product and proceed to NOT know how to run it as a service. Overwatch was a prime example where the lead game dev/designer said "I finally reached platinum and it felt great" when I got plat after 10 matches...

  • DrRasdist Dr. Rasdist (@DrRasdist) reported

    bruh the overwatch 2 matchmaking is so bad im either going on a win streak with good teammates or its giving me the worst teammates imaginable and im losing. on top of comp rank meaning nothing in matchmaking this system is so goddamn unfun please fix it @Blizzard_Ent

  • wotba_ow Josh (#1 HOTBA & Xerneas fan) (@wotba_ow) reported

    @cateliny I never thought about the broadcasting rights issues. Blizzard needs to fix this now before the Chinese Overwatch scene is gone forever. I really hope they find new deal with NetEase or with someone else so that Overwatch can stay alive in China.

  • ClutchTrev Trevor V (@ClutchTrev) reported

    @ItsSomjuu This has happened to me on overwatch 1 on ps4. Never had this issue on pc or the series s. Series S has fps problems but this seems to be a bug that happens on playstation, but very rarely though.

  • USCU_ORION ORION (@USCU_ORION) reported

    @ohshestakingit @SaskiaPine @OverwatchCaval you do realize that metas change quite frequently? sojourn got nerfed, so why tf would people suddenly decide that mercy/sojourn is meta? high level play constantly evolves, and overwatch is not at all a solved game. people can discover broken/overpowered techs pater in the game

  • 1of3Angels 👑 Unconquerable Angel 🌙🌙🌙 (@1of3Angels) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Do you know that your skin bundles are missing the player cards??? i.e: Biohazard Ramattra does NOT come with it Biohazard player card?? Please fix. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch
