Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LuigiVM Luis Vázquez (@LuigiVM) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch on Switch had the worst lag, the worst graphics but... the Community was the heaven on Earth.

  • AMickeyKennedy Mickey Kennedy (@AMickeyKennedy) reported from Orlando, Florida

    @schildhoused It's hard to say, I think it could be a problem of too many lines in the water. Things like CoD or Overwatch league hit one player base and they are locked in. Feels like sim racing can be more diverse and spread out if you will but I'm not really sure.

  • AshleyShonky Ashley Bobashley (@AshleyShonky) reported

    Does anyone else like switching their skins midgame in OW or am I broken #Overwatch

  • aandrameda andra (@aandrameda) reported

    this duo told me to get off ana bc i nano'd the wrong person due to lag and idk why they were toxic i ******* hate the overwatch community

  • ElusoryKitty ElusoryKitty (@ElusoryKitty) reported

    I hope people that have an addiction to overwatch realize the problem it creates in their life and stop being in denial. it's not healthy and not worth ruining your life for whether it be not sleeping or abusing Adderall

  • ShadowRego ShadowRego (@ShadowRego) reported

    @beturne @PlayXDefiant Maybe but not all overwatch is pretty good black light was really good to but yeah probably will get loads of cheaters but if im solo then i wont have cheater issues they will be in higher lobbys lol

  • alextechnically Technically 2042 (@alextechnically) reported

    Ok here's the thing I'm sure XDefiant is a fine game, most games are My problem is it's yet another entry in "what if we slapped together overwatch and call of duty" formula of games Meanwhile, people are BEGGING for a new Splinter Cell game

  • wyoot1273 Wyoot1273 (@wyoot1273) reported

    WHY DO I KEEP GETTING RECOMENDED GAY OVERWATCH PORN ON TWITTER. FIX THIS BULLSHIT

  • GuyFoxDay GuyFoxDay (@GuyFoxDay) reported

    @IRA_italy Literally who are they going to have though???? It's like the Overwatch Face problem but with gruff military types

  • Verticalturtles Carl (@Verticalturtles) reported

    @beardedstranger I ran into that problem where pubbing it was only fun half the time because nobody wanted to coordinate, but playing with friends got us put into the extremely sweaty bracket. I know that's not a unique problem for overwatch, but it felt extra bad there.

  • KaleTheFrogPoet kale tweets original frog poems (@KaleTheFrogPoet) reported

    @BlizzardCS My Overwatch group/team voice chat do not work. I cannot hear teammates and they cannot hear me. I have gona through all the troubleshooting online and cannot get in contact with anyone from CS. How do I get this issue fixed.

  • BallisticRooks Eternal Part-Timer (@BallisticRooks) reported

    @GolazoDan It's weird because they're always late? Like it's been 3 or 4 years since the overwatch fad faded out, the new assassins creed is a live service when that died two years ago, why are they so bad at this?

  • itsn8_ emma (@itsn8_) reported

    just to be clear, this is on overwatch only. literally no where else im getting this problem

  • alexonelol AlexOne (@alexonelol) reported

    The problem with Overwatch 2 isn't that it's taking a long time to make. The problem is that Blizzard cut back on content during this waiting period. We haven't had a hero since Echo (April 14, 2020) or a new comp map since Havana (May 7, 2019). This is a big problem.

  • Joser_57 Wiiman57 🎮 (@Joser_57) reported

    Broken 2016 overwatch was the best and most fun, 217-present is just hot garbage.

  • LandonHays11 DuckHatStudios (@LandonHays11) reported

    @YX_Fallen_Angel @OWAnonymous_ I have two theories. Theory one is that they think they can just nerf everything else about the character instead of fixing the problem. Theory two is that they’re going to rework him for overwatch 2 instead of doing it now.

  • BENN37T BENNETT (@BENN37T) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I know how disappointing you guys are as a company I'm not expecting much from overwatch 2 but please fix the pharah and mercy combo

  • halfmanhalfbong Bong (@halfmanhalfbong) reported

    @diegosaurs Fair enough. It’s been awhile since I played overwatch but I remember pubs sbmm being pretty bad. I also want to say I just don’t think it’s exclusively an apex problem but I wish it would change too

  • Antasma1 Antasma1 (@Antasma1) reported

    @BottlesTheMole @NintendoAmerica They did the same for Overwatch and Crash Team Racing

  • kikisshh kiki in recovery (@kikisshh) reported

    i stopped doing zines after overwatch and my drive fell apart ever since. the problem here is i cant be doing this much free work for video games that will never hire me, yall. even tho my free work looks the best somehow ugh

  • Chiken2021 Chiken (@Chiken2021) reported

    @lesbicyn I mean, csgo feels completely different to cod and so does overwatch. There are sub genres of FPS games and in those sub genres they do feel the same. But i think the main problem with FPS market are god awful sequels to games that don’t need them. Cod every year became stale.

  • callum71509070 Callum (@callum71509070) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there anyway to transfer all my data like my level skins progress on overwatch from xbox to switch my xbox has to many connections issues and keeps getting me timeouts when I play competitive so I was wondering will my data transfer when I add the battlenet account

  • DeadlockJilly AAAASHE BEACH HOURS(Jilly)💜💛🖤 (@DeadlockJilly) reported

    Hearing Overwatch haters makes my brain go numb cause all their problems are fixed now cause they haven’t played in 3 or 4 years

  • Boro97 Boro (@Boro97) reported

    @TipsOutBaby The problem with the overwatch league was for one the franchising that in itself did damage. After the first couple months I stopped watching but I'm sure constant metta changes and characters being added mid season also had part of the problem.

  • furealdos furealdo 🌸 (@furealdos) reported

    @speedcolaa this is a big issue i have too! id love to see overwatch do more charity events, but its rly obvious that people only care abt the skins 😭

  • diegosaurs DIEGO (@diegosaurs) reported

    @Sinferno0816 @1haiku_ Was 4600 top 60 in overwatch. Never fought a 6 stack unless my team was a 4/5 stack. Valorant had a huge issue with 5 stacks going against solos when it first came out so they fixed it, crazy apex has been out for years and they can’t do that.

  • NawiTheCore Nawi (@NawiTheCore) reported

    @acidlure @_giuseppe32 It's also worth noting SOME mods (especially NRaas mods) will really hurt performance (contrary to popular belief). ErrorTrap and Overwatch are fine, but StoryProgression, Register, etc. cause lag.

  • chrisalesant Christopher Alejandro (@chrisalesant) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia with that teaser is obvious that is either a Mobile Game or a Rated E-T game as a service in vein to Overwatch

  • Disnade ✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Disnade 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ (@Disnade) reported

    When you can’t play Overwatch because you xbox is broken. 😞 Will be fixed end of month hopefully. 🙏
