Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • aamirislam99 Aamir Slam (@aamirislam99) reported

    .@PlayOverwatch On laptops with optimus enabled, and overwatch 2 running on an external monitor connected to the discrete graphics card directly, the menu gets capped at 30 fps and the audio and menu are extremely laggy. Disabling optimus fixes the issue

  • idkw0timdoing w0t (@idkw0timdoing) reported

    Wooo finally on #Overwatch2... But the last two days I keep getting a weird jumping lag a lot. I know my internet isn't the best but it was fine when I first started playing and overwatch 1 never did this. I AM IN PAIN. I just wanna play and enjoy nolag ;-;

  • RadiantSwordX Radiant Sword X (零) (@RadiantSwordX) reported

    @BlizzardCS You need to fix your Yokai, Purified, Adrenaline Junkie and Taking Charge achievements for Overwatch 2. Seriously, shame on you for making these achievements misleading and impossible. Nobody worldwide has ever unlocked these achievements.

  • Sketchfoot Cyd (@Sketchfoot) reported

    @hndk90 I had to re-sync my Twitch account with Battlenet after Overwatch 2 launched. I got kicked out of my account because I don't have access to my old phone for the two factor authenticator to recognize me. I'm waiting for a third-party service called "Authy" to help me get back in

  • Diana_Dragoness Diana the samurott (@Diana_Dragoness) reported

  • MrMcMaster12 MrMcHoonter (@MrMcMaster12) reported

    I ******* hate the state of modern gaming when it comes to internet connections. Back in the day, I was playing Black ops 2 on WiFi with no problem. Now I can’t even play a single match of something like overwatch 2 without rubber banding into oblivion

  • mullet_lad a dozen eggs in a trenchcoat (@mullet_lad) reported

  • MidnightriderU MidnightriderUSA (@MidnightriderU) reported

    @iNitsue I've known her for almost as long as I have you and The forest was cringe, but I proved to them I could play Asian servers without lag. But never one invite to play overwatch!

  • RMccaston Robert McCaston (@RMccaston) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Here is an update for you Blizzard/Overwatch 2 team. If you don't fix Bastion soon I will stop playing forever. He is ruined and unplayable now. Before you just pass this off as you don't care. I am a player that does not mind spending $ on this game. Your loss.

  • MantaRei7 🔞Manta霊🔞Spirit Manta Ray VTuber!! (@MantaRei7) reported

    Anyone else have issues with their Battlenet launcher?? Every time I try to download Overwatch 2 it logs me in and then closes. I don't think it's downloading the game at all and it just runs in the background afterwards. I appreciate any help!! @battlenet

  • GamerKeith22 Digital-Game-Guy (@GamerKeith22) reported

    @steamybeaney Oh,I heard of that. I had the login problems my first few days but after that it was mostly smooth sailing. One thing I do hate about Overwatch 2 is the damn spawn point camping, they find where you spawn camp there and kill you as soon as you exit it.

  • nathaniiie nate (@nathaniiie) reported

    @jirnena bro is so broken she started playing overwatch

  • sugarbombvr SugarBombVR🎃 18+ (@sugarbombvr) reported

    played 8 ******* comp matches utterly destroyed won 7 lost 1 and I GET ******* BRONZE 5 THIS IS BROKEN THATS NOT HOW THIS ******* WORKSSSSSSS i would get silver in overwatch 1 losing over half of my matches WTF IS THIS **** @PlayOverwatch #overwatch2 #overwatchcomp #fuckingbroken

  • Deadly_sork Deadly_Sork perma bald 🪬 (@Deadly_sork) reported

    It’s funny in overwatch 2 if you had ranked points from overwatch 1, for example you had 500 you would login to 50k after your account merge because it timsed everyone’s comp points by 100 for some reason and they glitch still hasn’t been fixed, so ********* have gold guns now

  • KristenRaeTTV Kris @ TWITCHCON SD🏝 (@KristenRaeTTV) reported

    @astraharaa @DarthDomino or floating cam which is what it’s supposed to be.) The new Overwatch cinematic for Kiriko was supposed to be broadcast in the Glitch theater but when the time came@they just showed like a ten minute countdown timer for the drag show. So people who were there didn’t get to see it

  • SuccubusMarble succubus_marble🔞🏳️‍⚧️ (@SuccubusMarble) reported

    @TsuuukoMango @MilaCatBat Wow your stupid Nah its more that I don't like trash games with trash player bases from a trash company full of idiots like you. I played enough Overwatch One to know it has the problems of cringe cry-baby morons that plague the title cause Blizzard ****-boy fans are toxic af

  • MonadoboyX Monadoboy (@MonadoboyX) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes The problem isn't even that the lOoTbOxEs are gone it's that legacy credits are no longer earnable I think it's fair for all NEW cosmetics to cost the premium currency but every single overwatch 1 cosmetic should be earmable through legacy credits cus oh my Lord is it stupid

  • WinfaeVT Winfae🍀VTuber (@WinfaeVT) reported

    I disconnect from overwatch so much I can’t play a whole match. Anyone else have this problem today? It might be my internet but Val and Apex were fine ?

  • st4rrai cameron :3 (@st4rrai) reported

  • RoyalRaven03 Kaiden (@RoyalRaven03) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent you need to fix this asap. Every single time I get a achievement it logs me out the game completely and doesn’t let me in till the light I got kicked out of ends then I get a 8 hour long penalty!!!!! This has happened three times overwatch!

  • maid_OW tammy (@maid_OW) reported

    @halomancer1 I think the problem is overwatch players are psychotic

  • ChemicalChrist xSnailsx (@ChemicalChrist) reported

    The fact that I load into a comp overwatch game to a completely blurry world that I cant see **** in, I exit the game to hope it’ll be fixed, just to get a LC-208 login error and now I cant get back in at all. Wtf???@Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

  • glizzyglickzz glizzystrapz (@glizzyglickzz) reported
