Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • legacian Legacian (@legacian) reported

    @GameSpot Underlying anger problems. Has nothing to do with overwatch or being gay. Could've been any argument or any couple. The tragic part is that they were together for 10 years. I can only imagine what happened over those 10 years to lead to this.

  • Neutralizi Neutral (@Neutralizi) reported

    So I just bought a new monitor, it's AMAZING, especially with the fact that I went from a 60 hz monitor to a 240 hz one but the only problem is that I can't play on full-screen on overwatch, it only works for borderless windowed. Anyone got a solution for this or is it normal?

  • iderekhall Derek H (@iderekhall) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why would i ever want to buy Overwatch 2 when you can’t even fix Overwatch 1 to begin with. SMH. Fix a game before putting out a new one.

  • imkitoto IMKitoto ❂ (@imkitoto) reported

    If you’re not going to release Overwatch 2 or fix the game, at least give us more avoid slots.

  • FailedPyro 🔥🎮Failed Pyromancer🎮 🔥 🇩🇴🇵🇷 (@FailedPyro) reported

    @TakeTheLeg @DarthChillash One of my friends said his controller had a drift problem but he fixed it. He plays Overwatch like a madman so he wore that **** out.

  • RampItUpGaming Ramp It Up Gaming (@RampItUpGaming) reported

    Been away for almost a week and the new #overwatch season dropped and heard its all kinds of broken again... do I even do placements?

  • Reignited_Spyro Reignited Spyro (@Reignited_Spyro) reported

    @ItsWashington17 @Canadianguyehh I honestly don't get this mindset personally. Like, I get it, Activision is scum. But the money they'd make off of Spyro, hell the money they've made off of Crash is chump change compared to COD, WoW, and Overwatch. Plus, ABK is the guilty party here, not TFB.

  • BenjiSales Benji-Sales (@BenjiSales) reported

    @PaulTassi Yeah abandoning Overwatch 1 to make a sequel instead of just continuing to support and make OW1 a long term service game was a big mistake imo In April it will be 2 years since Overwatch 1 has gotten a new Hero or any meaningful new content. 2 years. They just.....killed it

  • Coconut0W Coconut (@Coconut0W) reported

    Internet get fixed tomorrow I can finally play overwatch for 8 hours straight without any problems 🙏

  • Pigeon_76 Pigeon 76 (@Pigeon_76) reported

    @SerenPM @GameSpot let's be real overwatch is a mental problem

  • SeraphSpire Seraphy (@SeraphSpire) reported

    @B3am4H311 I had the same problem in a ranked game yesterday cause I wanted to try it out. I told the team idk how to play tank, they force me to play tank, so I threw their game. I prefer overwatch system to being able to choose roles so you know what you’re getting into.

  • rdstpr OT⁷ Red (@rdstpr) reported

    @ggukookmin21 My problem everyday....usually not overwatch but a game or something all the time

  • mermixed jacqueline (@mermixed) reported

    4 2cp maps in a row in comp. overwatch is so ******* broken they need to just burn the server rooms of this game

  • pampurins ━ ♡ pampurin (@pampurins) reported

    @asakosblog I think this article is malicious intent, that man clearly has mental issues that led to this, no one will commit murder suddenly over a video game argument and the writer knows naming overwatch will direct the issue to the game and not what truly matters.

  • Roxanne_maevy Maevie (@Roxanne_maevy) reported

    @SamTheLucioStan I only play overwatch for catch the flag, my game usually ould crash and i would get banned for it

  • floppycerberus flopsy (@floppycerberus) reported

    @bear_nugs @GameSpot No way you just said "this is what happens in overwatch". How much you tilt is entirely dependent on yourself. The fact that this crime occurred is not because of overwatch its because some dude had some issues and decided murder was an option.

  • subkittenboy Sammy ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ (@subkittenboy) reported

    @buttplugio @kusakyuu I tried the SDT one and Overwatch ones too! Only problem I had was websocket 12345 was in use by another program and took me a while to figure out which one! Ended up being leapmotion

  • complete_phased James Beasley (@complete_phased) reported

    People blame Battlefront 2 for the whole Lootbox problem but lets not forget when Overwatch first came out everyone's YT feed was FLOODED with opening videos. Content Creators were spending thousands on lootboxes and a majority of people ate that **** up.

  • eeSqre Sqre (@eeSqre) reported

    @SeoulessOW if someone murders someone because overwatch I feel like the issue is the murderer and not overwatch

  • AramyxDraws Aramyx Draws Lewds (@AramyxDraws) reported

    It's sad to see Overwatch getting as Roasted as WoW nowadays and they don't even need the Blizzard company issues to get so roasted lmao. Worse part is I wouldn't even defend OW anymore after their asinine handling of the IP the last months.

  • hydrou_s ;jack (63/90) | 📌 Joki Genshin (@hydrou_s) reported

    Kinda miss Overwatch I'm gonna login for one match

  • complete_phased James Beasley (@complete_phased) reported

    Yes Im still upset about how shafted Battleborn got. Yeah it had its problems but it could have been something cool. What happened? Well Blizzard happened. They picked the exact day Battleborn launched to release the public beta for Overwatch. This basically killed all hype.

  • NotBradley1 Not Bradley (@NotBradley1) reported

    Spot the difference "Im going to go play overwatch" "I going into mental warfare" *Hint* there isnt Sad to see this game be butchered by its balance team, the first time they change the game in ages and then fail to acknowledge the main issues with the game while breaking it too

  • QuizzicalQuartz quizzz (@QuizzicalQuartz) reported

    @ImperialHal I don't play it anymore but audio issues like this on other games makes me really appreciate the sound design on Overwatch

  • guitardude07 juan pacheco (@guitardude07) reported

    @washjustice Overwatch 2 is not working

  • fixing_stupid7 Fixing stupid (@fixing_stupid7) reported

    Anybody else mic not working on overwatch?

  • jordon_af bone lounge (@jordon_af) reported

    Overwatch is so weird. I'll get 5 losses in a row because my team is obviously disorganized and is unsure how to fix it. But then I'll get a random tank that is in upper bracket for damage and just carries ******** out of us. I don't understand lmao

  • SerenPM Seren (@SerenPM) reported

    @GameSpot This isn’t a Overwatch problem. More of a mental problem

  • imurfavoritemom ur mom (@imurfavoritemom) reported

    @PlayVALORANT @VALORANTLATAM can we fix the ranks before we add more overwatch agents

  • K1NGKYO ⚠️⚠️B||L||M⚠️⚠️ (@K1NGKYO) reported

    Legit I basically quit Apex & moved on to DBD. I still play overwatch too bc the servers actually work still unlike Apex. That game has so much potential but is broken af. I don't regret the money I spent but I wish EA would make it actually playable 🙃
