Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Hoebeesbing Hobbes meow (@Hoebeesbing) reported

    @TheKally_ @OWJaeger I don't see it being a huge issue as overwatch fights already snowball fast, most characters can carry a fight with duel win + decent ult and getting out on a lost fights is not a huge deal compared to dying fast

  • OwSnaps Snaps (@OwSnaps) reported

    So for the last few days i have not been able to join VC in Overwatch i tried everything from spamming leave/join to doing a scan and repair. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?

  • MKDcram Mekhi Kunzer-Deleon (@MKDcram) reported

    I have been suspended from overwatch for 8 hrs. because I was lagging out and my internet connection has been bad lately is there anything I can do so this doesn't happen again and is there any way of me getting un suspended #Overwatch

  • Sharessan Cher Tailor, Black Lives Matter (@Sharessan) reported

    @magnavancia It's in the comics, but the main issue is the same issue as all Overwatch lore--there's not a lot, so it's Blizzard's own fault they don't have more stuff to talk about. :P

  • Rufuret_ Rufuret (@Rufuret_) reported

    Loop hero was good. Xcom was good. Unfortunate internet issues around the start of Overwatch, but we should be good to go our usual time later on!

  • Pangolinairy Pangolier (@Pangolinairy) reported

    @largersizeman @OrdinaryGamers It's not a good tac shooter at all. Lack of movement and interesting decision making boggled down by really bad shooting, terrible maps, and really gimmicky Overwatch abilities that usually only compound these problems or act like a crutch. A bandaid on necrosis

  • Unsung_Gamer Unsung😷 (@Unsung_Gamer) reported

    I was going to stream today, and I started to, but I am having NON-STOP audio issues the moment I open @OBSProject and Overwatch. Its been happening since I upgraded to AMD. Can someone PLEASE help me.

  • Lag_Dan Megumin (Lag-Dan) (@Lag_Dan) reported

    @SenPie_ Overwatch Twitter is something else I swear. I sleep for like 4 hours and I’ve no context to anything. Issue with being eu is all the idiots over in NA have drama while we are asleep then we wake up and see the TL in ruins again :/

  • PAINGANGMEMBER i wanna od. (@PAINGANGMEMBER) reported

    @CSGO When overwatch fix?

  • S_0MA_ Soma (@S_0MA_) reported

    @spooky___ougi Praying for overwatch 2 to fix that somehow

  • kiracin ✧cin @ watch Alice in Borderland✧ (@kiracin) reported

    this is the exact opposite problem than my overwatch days, where i was so used to ppl calling me "ghost", a shortening of my ign, that when i heard it in conversation irl my ears would perk up🤡

  • NeonB1az NeonB1azYT (@NeonB1az) reported

    @PlayOverwatch is it normal for the game to just boot/disconnect you from the server even though the internet connection is completely fine? what ********, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RANKED GAME!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DISCONNECT ME FROM THE SERVER!?!? #Overwatch

  • Pesto_Mystic Pesto_Mystic (@Pesto_Mystic) reported

    So...I’ve broken three controllers now while playing #Overwatch. Not a throw-across-the-room type break. A natural wear and tear of time break. I swear.

  • Arx_UK Arx 💤 (@Arx_UK) reported

    That produces a stale meta where only the hard and OP heroes are viable, so you get mirror matchups in every game featuring only a handful of heroes. It's lucky Overwatch allows 1 of each hero per team and not per game, or you would really see the problems with this mentality.

  • Moira1T m0ira1trick (@Moira1T) reported

    Brig was the only thing holding overwatch together, she stopped dps from being brain dead and broken because she could punish that, but NO that wasn’t okay, allowing dps to do whatever seems to be a patters. Dps are finally countered, nope, nerf it! Just let a support be strong

  • Desperado_Dave Desperado Dave (@Desperado_Dave) reported

    @UrlishIdiot @JELKK11 Please don't give me a reason to play HotS... I'm still terrified they'll bring me back to Overwatch with a Crash skin for Junkrat.

  • MKDcram Mekhi Kunzer-Deleon (@MKDcram) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I have been suspended from overwatch for 8 hrs. because I was lagging out and my internet connection has been bad lately is there anything I can do so this doesn't happen again and is there any way of me getting un suspended

  • Jasonimusprime Jason (he/him) (@Jasonimusprime) reported

    Ha! My issues with sucking at Overwatch are fixed! My right thumbstick is starting to drift so I won't play any more. Hopefully if I stop now I won't have ruined it for Minecraft.

  • Tayki Life5hadow (@Tayki) reported

    I want to enjoy Century, but its got the early Overwatch problems, cheesy team comps and in all my time playing games Gates of Fire is quiet possibly the worst game mode ever.

  • _xjesspaigex_ Wuh (@_xjesspaigex_) reported

    overwatch, if mercy was a *******. and less boring. and more aware of genji’s plentiful issues.

  • JessScharnagle Jessica Scharnagle (@JessScharnagle) reported

    @Dahberger I mean, idk if I'm included in "industry people" since we're kind of on different wavelengths in terms of job description, but I could use someone to play either Valorant or Overwatch with cuz I've been struggling with sitting at this desk and NOT working.

  • Oparoax Joe (@Oparoax) reported

    Can we all agree, that 90% of peoples problems with Overwatch stem from them not being able to play the game properly not that the game is bad
