    The mouse input in Overwatch 2 is bugged. Yes you can fix it with some settings changes. But I shouldn’t need to mess with the CONTROLLER settings for my mouse to work. Here we ******* go again.

  • Smokchy Ifckedyourmōm (@Smokchy) reported

    Is it Just Me or does Overwatch 2 lag so hard on the Xbox by some Other People? #Overwatch2

  • CaptainBlitz_ BOOlitz 🎃🦇 (@CaptainBlitz_) reported

    The #Overwatch need to learn what a "live-service" game is lmao ya'll so shocked at the ideal of "infinite content requires infinite money"

  • AveryChirp Avery ♡ (@AveryChirp) reported

    So far after launch ive managed to play 1 game of overwatch 2, on different servers, and now if I try to login it just keeps looping me back to login again. 10/10 game truly

  • therielleGab gab (@therielleGab) reported

    yeah i have to work at 4 in the morning but at least theres no login queue when i play overwatch

  • TroubleDeadly Deadly Trouble (@TroubleDeadly) reported

    @JediAssasin117 @NotTrendel1 @caitsunee That’ll probably be changed later down the line and I doubt people buy those loot boxes. Since grinding them is like any other game but overwatch was a problem

  • Handsome_Jake_ Tribune of the Plebs (@Handsome_Jake_) reported

    Blizzard patched Overwatch to fix it and now instead of queuing forever to get into the game now you queue forever to find a match lmao

  • Bernaner_ Bernaner (@Bernaner_) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Any fix for being stuck in an endless loop of trying to login to Overwatch 2, all my account details are correct and I can login to another account just not mine.

  • someguythoughs L'exquisite Douleur. 🇺🇦🖤 (@someguythoughs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch 3 days since release. 3 days full of problems. I bought Overwatch and I bought Overwatch 2 Watchpoint pack. I don't give a **** it's a free to play, I still bought the game and this is not acceptable at all. You guys are not an indie company. Stop fooling with us.

  • BunsBunniie 💫🍓Bunnie💖🌸 (@BunsBunniie) reported

    Something that I dislike about the new overwatch is the payment system. I’m already lagging as it is, but I had accidentally bought Junker Queens ugly skin because of it and the worst part is that they don’t give you a warning before guaranteeing you to buy. Not worth the $20.

  • _cosmicastro jess 🌱 (@_cosmicastro) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with account merging on overwatch? It tells me my account is ready to merge and to close the game and wait a minute, but when I reopen the game it puts me in queue again? Anyone else? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • TheRealObamaPR Obama🇵🇷🌳🌳🌳 (@TheRealObamaPR) reported

    So did blizzard fix Overwatch?

  • PR0DI6II Aaron (@PR0DI6II) reported

    My audio settings in overwatch 2 keep resetting to default. Like I put in my output. Leave settings go back and it rests to default. Anyone know how to fix this 🫠

  • MissBlacktailed Agat (@MissBlacktailed) reported

    " Rendering device has been lost " **** off Overwatch, I did anything to fix it, what do you want from me

  • WesleyH16368838 Roxas Red Hood (@WesleyH16368838) reported

    I don't even care if people are trying to ******* say "skill issue" to me by them picking Tracer in the second installment of Overwatch because I'm NOT babysitting ******* 24/7 who clearly don't know what they're doing with her anyways.

  • Ashlewhy1 Ash ✨ (@Ashlewhy1) reported

    @Xfinity is quite literally the worst service. I’ve been waiting in 45+ minute queues to play #Overwatch and I can only get one game before being booted offline (I’m hardwired mind you..) and @comcast told me that it wasn’t installed correctly.. L O L

  • OumiYashiro Yashiro Oumi (@OumiYashiro) reported

    Damnit, Overwatch 2 black screened the **** out of my PC I had to restart the system and it had to repair for drive errors ffs

  • WaterForMePlezz IneedWater (@WaterForMePlezz) reported

    Still a bummer that the Freezing Bug that alot of players of experiencing on PC while playing Overwatch 2 is not yet resolved. The game just Freezes in the middle of the game all the time and has to restart PC. @PlayOverwatch please fix cant play the game

  • Ruben24208387 Ruben (@Ruben24208387) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your ******* servers, I am a player from overwatch 1 and majority of my hero’s are locked. At the start of the game they were working but my game froze and it kicked me out. Now it’s all gone to ****

  • DumbThoughts00 IDK (@DumbThoughts00) reported

    I am finally able to play but now I’m in quick play but can’t find a match? Does anyone else have this issue? #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • lsthief Bara Wojack (@lsthief) reported

    extremely funny that a bandai overwatch clone has better online servers for a competitive experience than a flagship live service FPS that has existed for half a decade

  • hellindell 안또 / anto. (@hellindell) reported

    anyone having problems logging to your acc in overwatch 2? i guess the phone number authenticator is live and obviously not working properly even though i activated mine

  • GRIFlN GRIFlN (@GRIFlN) reported

    … besides overwatch 2. There still is a problem with overwatch 2’s mouse input. It definitely has some smoothing forced on. I and many other people have been able to tell that something is definitely off. Apologies to anyone I misled with the videos of this program in use…
