Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • deutzia_11 🌺💀 LightVerse 💀🌺 (@deutzia_11) reported

    @BaalTheWarlock @silriven Also agreed, I'd bet good money that GC sees a majority of WoWs characters as merely stepping stones to give her favourite white characters focus (and I also have issue with how she homogenised east asian/south asian cultures for a 'aesthetic' in her Overwatch short story 😬).

  • SimmerZozo Simmer Z (@SimmerZozo) reported

    @josefbutwithanF What lags will be the routing issue for the Proprietor. Which Overwatch will inform you if it's a regular thing. All you gotta do (which always fixes for me) is to place a Proprietor marker with the Buydebug tool. But you need to install it from Mod TheSims cause it's locked.

  • oattmilkwhor3 auds 🧼 (@oattmilkwhor3) reported

    he plays overwatch but i can fix him

  • ZAGaming10 Wardrone 👾 (@ZAGaming10) reported

    @Qwik Can we maybe get a tiny Starcraft 2 server in South Africa too? Closest server is 11 000km away (natural lag). Activision (Call of Duty) already hosts servers down here, dude. Thanks. 🇿🇦🐭 So request is: HOTS/Overwatch/SC2/D2R/D3 instances here if possible.

  • ItsTheBigLad Western degeneracy enjoyer (@ItsTheBigLad) reported

    @shred__cruz Weve already seen these games why do already established devs need to become the new trend. I dont really like the focus of online live service i wont lie im very much a single player rpg person so i am biased but damn man not every game needs to be overwatch or pubg

  • Daisymomma3 Akyda of the Wilds💙👵🐱‍🏍🤡🦈🌮💙 (@Daisymomma3) reported

    @BlizzardCS okay I'm not playing pvp to get my reward. I played all of your junkenstein games, it even said i won the genji skin, and the genji skin is not unlocked. what the heck guys? fix your ****. #Overwatch @PlayOverwatch

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

    My opinion on why Overwatch problems!

  • YaOldBuddy YaOldBuddy (@YaOldBuddy) reported

    @Jameskii The reason why Overwatch is not getting any updates is because Blizzard is still dealing with their worker issues ;)

  • pokermonik200 mateusz (@pokermonik200) reported

    @ofri12347 @Jameskii Did it really? TF2 is impossible to play nowadays, hackers are everywhere, on the other hand you can still play normal overwatch game with no problems

  • wild_golbat golbat (@wild_golbat) reported

    @biggestsonicfan overwatch 2 will fix all of it

  • RavenWings_ raven (@RavenWings_) reported

    As someone who has done Overwatch events, if you do a tournament 3 times and each time has more and more issues, there is a serious problem. I respect that they're taking feedback, but most of the problems could have been avoided before the tournament even was announced.

  • ClearTogether 🏩ClearTogether💙💛🏳️‍🌈Ⓥ (@ClearTogether) reported

    @vikfinity @ohhater @SeoulessOW pharah was 12 in that picture, mercy was 17. that picture has been retconned anyways + mercy was only volunteering (not working) at overwatch at the time

  • minzy422002 minzy42 (@minzy422002) reported

    Just joined a group in Overwatch playing QUICKPLAY, told em let me put my headset on, so i did n got disconnected straight away told em am sorry i was having issues with my turtlebeach headset, halfway through game managed to sort it. One team member kicked me...

  • torako_tiger Torako // G5 potential spoiler warning // (@torako_tiger) reported

    @ashen_dawn @MOOMANiBE I'm thinking like overwatch skins where they always have the same items and it's purely cosmetic, but you're right that hitboxes might be a problem

  • theCCLemon ᴛʜᴇᴄᴄʟᴇᴍᴏɴ (@theCCLemon) reported

    @ashyshort @towelthetank @accendor96 The issue isn't you spending your hard earned gold, it isn't spending that earned gold on a boost or overwatch or the new diablo. It's that Jimmy fatwallet spent £90 on a token, sold one to you for your gold. Blizzard took £30 of his transaction, and that'show he gets a boost.

  • TerriblePancake Wafuls at midnight🔞 (@TerriblePancake) reported

    I really wish I could be excited for the reveals in Apex. Instead I feel like I'm watching a car crash about to happen. If they go down the route of 'spooky DID!' like Overwatch did with Sigma I will not be majorly surprised but I will be incredibly disappointed.

  • EndMiddle BeginningMiddleEnd (@EndMiddle) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been experiencing a glitch in Overwatch on Xbox in single player deathmatch (chateau) where when I respawn I can’t see anything for several seconds but my character is alive and responds to my control. I can be seen by other players and be killed by them.

  • RapidRapidash 👻Tristan Schoonover★👻 (@RapidRapidash) reported

    God was grind in overwatch for the genii skin when a hour into it I found out junksteins revenge was bugged and not giving out the points you need for the weekly skin. And that blizzard tweeted this issues 3 days ago & hasn’t fixed it yet. Incredibly annoying and should be fixed

  • oneshotfinch Kieran Flynn (@oneshotfinch) reported

    @Jameskii This tweet makes less sense the more I read it. Team Fortress ruined itself with meet your match, basically made it unplayable. If you get a match it's hacked to bits. Titanfall's server issues make it literally unplayable. At least I can play a game of Overwatch

  • nicotinemoon liss (@nicotinemoon) reported

    Was v v sleepy and ready for bed at like 11 but instead I stayed up to play overwatch with pals at 12:30 only for my sisters laptop to constantly crash and now I’m wide awake and can’t even join in

  • lovexinji bloodhound⚔️ (@lovexinji) reported

    Now I see why people had issues playing comp in overwatch, so toxic lmao

  • Kan0chan Kan | #ADHD (@Kan0chan) reported

    If you call me a ***** after I disconnect from a game and come back, I'm just gonna leave again because frankly, you deserve to lose. #overwatch Honestly why did they introduce text chat into console, it's awful.

  • SilverTheSilen1 Silver (@SilverTheSilen1) reported

    is #Overwatch literally ever gonna fix its ******* smurf problems i am so tired of plat skill level people in my BRONZE lobbies with a lvl 2 account. Quit being ******* cowards just because you get money blizzard. #StopAllowingSmurfs

  • cr0wc1f3r 👻cr0wc1f3r👻 (@cr0wc1f3r) reported

    @roarwi Idk what happened w that lawsuit Blizzard/Activision was dealing w, but if they addressed the issues, I might go back to playing COD and Overwatch myself.

  • darkbro30 Jötunheimr (@darkbro30) reported

    @GibranRichani @alphaINTEL What? The fact that they would rather make money than fix the game doesn't bother you? Or the fact that the people who enjoy the game don't want to see it become the new overwatch?

  • ctizz36 Craig Treichel (@ctizz36) reported

    @PabloGarduo8 @JC330585664 @FallGuysGame I played many game over Wi-Fi, with little to no problems, like TF2 and Overwatch… Ridiculous.

  • WwendyWwilliams SweetTeaPls (@WwendyWwilliams) reported

    @LXRD_KVRAMA @eggo_k Stun is one the biggest issues in Overwatch, point blank period. Like, McCree & Roadhog being quite simple characters while being able to 1 shot people with a stun ability is quite ridiculous. I think stun shouldn’t be a thing. At least Brig & Sigma’s stun isn’t like that.

    OUVERTURE 50 loot in an issue with viewers sur Overwatch​ et PlayerUnknown's Battleground ce soir! J'approche de Mercy 2ª:

  • m3gaoanda M3gapanda (@m3gaoanda) reported

    @GucciSerg @back4blood @wbgames I think people are going to run into the same problem as overwatch/tf2. If you try and compare the two and nitpick everything its going to suck, but if you try it out its actually a really fun game.

  • rijualt rijualt (@rijualt) reported

    any1 here that can fix acc for overwatch? I bought overwatch around 2019 and when I logged in my acc it says I didnt buy it.
