Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BossUpBran Brandon (@BossUpBran) reported

    every patch blizzard has done in overwatch one leading up to overwatch 2 before they stopped completely doing anything for overwatch 1 was just a band aid fix to simple solutions

  • itsmeketsu Spooketsu👻 (@itsmeketsu) reported

    On todays episode of “wtf is happening to Overwatch” frames just go from 60 to 10 in an instant with no latency issues, will it get fixed? No one knows!!!

  • avivbhowmik Avivbhowmik (@avivbhowmik) reported

  • SIippinMcgill Maryssas :3 (@SIippinMcgill) reported

  • diamonatrixx diamonatrixx (@diamonatrixx) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix bugs before they tune up characters LMAO

  • Kagetsyu 天照大神☀️ (@Kagetsyu) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ It’s got it issues just like overwatch one did but nowhere near to the same extent in my opinion. Far be it from me to say that I’m not having a good time.

  • hyxkkimxru ★🏳️‍⚧️ (@hyxkkimxru) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ people saying aim assisy on overwatch is broken never played overwatch with a controller istg, the only thing it does is slowly turning your camera

  • dire_gm DireGM (@dire_gm) reported

    Hopefully i’ve fixed my overwatch 2 crashing issue by doing the godfather of all technology tricks, i uninstalled and reinstalled

  • volaani beeerody (@volaani) reported

    @OverwatchEU Please bring back player levels, being on fire, endgame stats voting, fix account stats not updating etc. Theres no need to remove things just so the game seems less like overwatch and more like a different game lmao

  • jokuuh_ joker 🎃 (@jokuuh_) reported

    I can do 50 games of overwatch whitout any problems. but when i play two games of valorant i feel exhausted.

  • htowngator Albert (@htowngator) reported

    @holygod00604541 @Clash_Addictz @fullsquadgaming Apparently overwatch decided even as less as it is it isn't worth entertaining people over it. COD should take a page from this and fix it.

  • Dripej Ej (@Dripej) reported

    Bro Overwatch FIX YOUR GAME I’m getting booted for getting achievements in comp and it’s counting against me like I’m purpose leaving the game

  • Devilsthedetail Maidenless Dylan, of Caria Manor (@Devilsthedetail) reported

    @mustardman66 @Dead_MK @GetQuakedOn not again 😭 OVERWATCH YOU DONT MAKE IT FEEL DISTINCT BY NOT FIXING BROKEN STUFF YOU ******* BANNANAS. How did they spend 3 years and not learn why their game failed.

  • Imchillin420 LilChunk (@Imchillin420) reported

    @IGN Just fix overwatch damn

  • Zuby_Tech @Zuby_Tech (@Zuby_Tech) reported

    @SlashBryz @Chris_Dring Yet those games are not live service except Overwatch. And Call Of Duty generates the most revenue.

  • SolarEU_ SolarCOD🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SolarEU_) reported

    Overwatch 2 is broken to **** u win all placements u get bronze 5 what is this and the tanks are op dva is ok but ******* zarya needs mercer asap games fun tho kinda

  • PibeDinamita Pendorcho (@PibeDinamita) reported

    @SamitoFPS The devs said they were moving away from hard counters in Overwatch 2, and instantly released Kiriko, who hard counters Ana and Junkerqueen (and even Reinhardt). Yet, some people don't see a problem with that. New game, same things that shouldn't be discussed being discussed 🤡.

  • krontastic Krontastic Presents (@krontastic) reported

    Yo @BlizzardCS my wife’s main acct got disconnected from her Battlenet. Now she has to wait an entire year to get back years worth of unlocks? And it’s happening to tons of folks. Messed up you wont fix this. What with the ****** launch and all.. #ow2 #overwatch #freetheaccounts

  • Shazzle_ shannon (@Shazzle_) reported

    Every time my team rolls the other team in the first fight on Overwatch, someone from the enemy team leaves… please fix this @PlayOverwatch !!! There has to be a way to stop this

  • FatHamster02 Hampter (@FatHamster02) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ They should bring it back not that I ever used it. I only ever play when my friends do so I guess just have friends and no problem. Might be hard for overwatch players tho

  • Ether101_Prime Ether101 (@Ether101_Prime) reported

    @Exalted_Speed I think one of the big problems with the lore is this disastrous event that happened to old Overwatch but what we learn about doesn't support this feeling. To the point that the only known Blackwatch operatives that were part of it are actively bad guys in the modern day.

  • matthewbest93 matthew best (@matthewbest93) reported

    Of all the **** they broke in overwatch 2 they actually fixed rank making me believe Jeff kaplin was the problem for that. Getting 35 points one game 7 the next then 12 then losing 45 points on a loss where you go 16-4 with 11k as a healer felt like actual trash.

  • BossUpBran Brandon (@BossUpBran) reported

    look at every meta in overwatch 1 that took so long to patch out tensa made a comp that was so broken the dev team didn’t know how to fix it so they had to introduce role queue after attempting to nerf every character in goats patch after patch

  • ShimaKazeVR ShimaYT (@ShimaKazeVR) reported

    overwatch 2 is pretty cool, shame they deem the "black screen" when tabbing out a "non priority" in terms of issues. super ******* annoying and wasn't present in the original

  • its_zacky_zack Zack (@its_zacky_zack) reported

    I’m also not saying that I approve of the removal of aim assist I think it’s stupid, but this problem didn’t just come around with overwatch 2

  • ladyeClAiR Kirsty J (@ladyeClAiR) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm curious as to who broke your server settings. Overwatch 1 250ms ping = fine. Overwatch 2 250ms ping = everyone downed 10 Red Bulls and gained the ability blink through walls. Where are your thresholds at, why is this an issue? Why are EU servers stuffed atm for everyone?

  • SlashBryz SlashBryz! (@SlashBryz) reported

    @Zuby_Tech @Chris_Dring Activision not only owns COD. Overwatch, Diablo, Crash, Spyro and Tony Hawk are Activision franchises that are on Switch. Also Microsoft said that they would like to put COD on Switch once the acquisition is done. Saying that Switch is irrelevant in this deal is really stupid...

  • TGDefinition TGD (@TGDefinition) reported

    People have been complaining about the Overwatch 2 hit reg & mouse input? LOL, it's been fine the entire time & has been nothing but a smooth experience from the very first game. Sounds like a skill issue to me

  • greasybatman shark (@greasybatman) reported

    can overwatch fix the career profile i’ve played about 3 hours of junker queen but it says 3 minutes 😭😭😭😭

  • nannudidarr Nannu Didar (@nannudidarr) reported
