Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DarrenLaur Darren Laur - Internet Safety/White Hatter Team (@DarrenLaur) reported

    @CeriStokes 1/ Often parental abdication on this issue is significant - so enlisting their overwatch is important but often ignored. The reality is that “some” teens will continue to vape in bathrooms & other clandestine locations on school property….

  • Teekodi TEEKO 🐸 (@Teekodi) reported

    I forgot that I will be up early to take Nano to the vet. So I will cancel stream so I can fix everything beforehand and relax. Tomorrow we will do unpacking and this weekend we will be playing some overwatch or apex.

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    A year ago today I was banned from Competitive season 26 of Overwatch because neither WINE nor Overwatch would crash when I ran out of memory....

  • SckOnMyCurls Abigail 💕 (@SckOnMyCurls) reported

    @FrymasterLov @MerrDawglol But bro almost every game has these problems, look at Overwatch a great game turned into **** cause of their creators teams. Everybody complains and nothing happens. They’ll listen when they want to, but to sit here and say you ain’t playing the game yea ok. 👍🏽

  • Circuitkun Circuitkun (@Circuitkun) reported

    @Froundlol @apreston_photo @bethesda Wouldn't call them lazy, why cater to %5 of users for how little you would gain. Plus on top of that there's still development that goes into it. Overwatch and valorant don't have proper support cause it is technically a competitive advantage, or just technical issues from it.

  • HotForItAll HotForItAll *edge case* (@HotForItAll) reported

    @cybuuorg It almost felt a little like a cop out and that origin story could have been planning overwatch downfall or helping with it so that he could stick it to the people who were sometimes more of a problem

  • frailally allycat 🌊 (@frailally) reported

    @flxur_ common bug, open up bnet launcher and uninstall overwatch, that should fix it

  • NoodleNecro NecroNoodle (@NoodleNecro) reported

    @J33n_jack3t @PlayOverwatch There's no issue with overwatch dev

  • RhylintraVT Rhylintra Zaurahel 🦇 (Hiatus) | ENVTUBER | (@RhylintraVT) reported

    Had someone on overwatch say they don't like gays. I responded by asking why that was my teams problem. They responded with "because we would be cool friends" Homie, if the first thing you say to me is that you don't like gays, and my icon is a rainbow flag, what makes you

  • TheJudgeCoffee The edgiest dad (@TheJudgeCoffee) reported

    Not me subtweeting, but as I apparently am somehow still annoyed about a fandom I'm no longer in, the issue I have is that if they're changing the Overwatch lore to fit whatever OW2 is: this is a bad way to do it.

  • sham_ooFAN1984 egirl w no brim (@sham_ooFAN1984) reported

    caught this **** live on stream and i still cant believe it. only ever had my overwatch game crash like this one over time before

  • moxymoron221 Moxy (@moxymoron221) reported

    @BrandonEaston I think it’s moreso upsetting that there are so many talented artists and writers out there who feel broken up about what is now canon. They’re throwing away their works. One of the most beloved headcanons in Overwatch has been shot down and stomped on. (1/2)

  • chipartwork chip 🌿 (@chipartwork) reported

    @Rising_Star_91 No problem at all! It's for a game called Overwatch

  • goroubarkwoof gian has strawberry hair🍓 (@goroubarkwoof) reported

    i want ppl to play overwatch with :< cuz valo keeps on lagging cuz wifi is so bad rn

  • Thumbstickyss Thumbstickyss (@Thumbstickyss) reported

    @Davemaster84 @GrenadeQueen1 Valorant, Overwatch, Tarkov, Diablo, Path Of Exile, Rocket League. All I'm sure had there slee of issues early on. Point I was making is MOST games just release unfinished nowadays. Better to play em at a later date.

  • Zarinthel LIGHTWARDEN | OBERRON (@Zarinthel) reported

    i watched someoenes video essay on why overwatch esports was doomed but i could ahve told them why years earlier. the issues of broadcasting a fast moving first person game.

  • Adamnerdexists Crazy Nerd Inventor (@Adamnerdexists) reported

    Man I really want play overwatch again but I really don't want to go back to being addicted, heavily sleep deprived and full of anger issues again.

  • royalplus666 stevent (@royalplus666) reported

    @valvesoftware When are ya'll gonna get on the cheating problem in CS:GO? whenever I do an overwatch case its always some absolute mongoloid who is just super obvious cheat wise. You DO NOT need us to verify they were cheating. give us cases where its actually questionable

  • cokelovinglota riley kawii ♥️ (@cokelovinglota) reported

    Haven’t won a game of overwatch in like days in starting to think im a problem when there’s a smurf doom, the edater couple, the hog in our back line, hog auto locks, throwing ***** all on my team , I’ve never wanted to cry more I just feel like shut

  • BastionMain11 BastionMain (@BastionMain11) reported

    is there a new vc glitch where I hear voices but no one is talking in the top left? it even occurs when I have overwatch closed...

  • Two_Two_Twane Ben  (@Two_Two_Twane) reported

    @76_dominus @TheMacroShow In what world would someone seriously talk about overwatch like its a drug abuse problem

  • ReviceRex Revi (@ReviceRex) reported

    @jaymar1337 @blu31ights @SideshowGaming Valorant did not exist as an already on going live service game. Overwatch does and has been in content drought for years. Its not an arguement. It should be fair to bring 5v5 to all at the same time or else community is playing catch up to those who had access.

  • ChalkerJK FattieOW (@ChalkerJK) reported

    We have real world problems going on and all of y’all still only care about OVERWATCH 2 Release, wake up man.

  • Drabbyy Drabby (@Drabbyy) reported

    plz fix the issue of people leaving with zero penalty @SHGames. Look at #overwatch, you leave 3 comp games a season you’re locked out. I WANT TO SEE SOME PUNISHMENT

  • ThetriumphantO1 SvG Triumph (@ThetriumphantO1) reported

    Looking at some of the overwatch 2 stuff bastion gone be broken asf and it’s gone drive me crazy

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    @Mkmichael001 @AngeAlexiel @_XboxNews My guess is all the established multiplats. Crash, Spyro, COD, Diablo, Overwatch, etc. will remain multiplat but new IP or rebooted franchises will be case by case.

  • Labotomyy Sheriff (@Labotomyy) reported

    @Matman909_OW 5v5 isn’t the issue to me it’s the leaning “more of a traditional shooter” that will kill it for me. Overwatch is unique and honestly is the only shooter I return to even with how poorly it’s handled because the base gameplay is different and fun for a lot of different playstyles

  • MemeEconomyBot Meme Economy Bot (@MemeEconomyBot) reported

    Markets crash today as Overwatch memes plummet, don't buy yet!

  • onalark Stephanie (Paddock||Shaver) (@onalark) reported

    I have a simple head canon fix for the Reaper story and it’s that his wife was also an Overwatch agent, they argued about ends and means, Swiss exploded, boom, he took the opportunity and left her behind because Reyes is an idiot and an *******.

  • fireredking Sam (@fireredking) reported

    I have a problem everyone and that's I'm back playing Overwatch way 2 much.
