Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HunterPowell99 Hunter Powell (@HunterPowell99) reported

    @Saramonw @OWAnonymous_ yes another nerf, it is a fundamentally flawed ability that should not be in a game like Overwatch. Saying “well it used to be more broken!” is not a valid argument.

  • A_Radzinsky Andrew Radzinsky (@A_Radzinsky) reported

    2 years without playing Overwatch and the experience is exactly the same. Broken matchmaking, **** teammates and no communication. The game is literally better to be watched than played.

  • the__pleiades ✨ ana in space ✨ (@the__pleiades) reported

    That's not to say that Overwatch character designs don't run into problems, but I think Ana as a character has been beautifully handled on the whole

  • watermelene Juan Ness (@watermelene) reported

    @_fewgoodthings Hopefully they fix it in Overwatch 2: Chipwrecked

  • Lunar_Bunnies dede 🤍 (@Lunar_Bunnies) reported

    really annoying to me when game devs patch games and they run worse after. like doom eternal still runs really well for me but i feel like there's more issues than there were at launch. overwatch and apex legends are other pretty bad cases of this

  • aim_lxss Less (@aim_lxss) reported

    @PICKUPSHAX @person15344 it's not because you have a much larger error margin, yeah you need to predict movement, but you need to predict movement on hitscan too due to Overwatch having no movement acceleration and hitboxes being very easily manipulated

  • NobleRedTherapy 冥美赤(Mei Miseki)@training (@NobleRedTherapy) reported

    I wanna play Overwatch but fckin poop **** HF-5 error ...............................holy

  • ReinMain5 ReinMain (@ReinMain5) reported

    If you're an Echo main, and spam Ez during a game, ofc it's easy for you-you're not playing a real hero. A real hero is a Rein main etc. You're playing a broken hero and the lack of skill is carrying you #Overwatch #OW

  • Gregsix92 - (@Gregsix92) reported

    @CalebGamerOW @PlayOverwatch Broken?? Are u even playing overwatch? The meta is broken lmaoooo..

  • volkantekcan volkan tekcan (@volkantekcan) reported

    @CSGO FIX ANTI-CHEAT, FIX VAC, FIX OVERWATCH, FIX YOUR SADISTIC PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTER

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @Gregsix92 @PlayOverwatch I have 7600+ hours on Overwatch and I'm literally playing the game right now as we speak. Also what I mean by broken is like game breaking glitches or bugs

  • austinclareball Austin Ball (@austinclareball) reported

    @RepMikeGarcia @All435Reps Maybe the problem isn’t illegal ********* growers but rather government overwatch destroying the potential of a plant that has a multitude of uses! We need to get illegal immigration under control and get a legal workforce that is paid a proper wage working the fields.

  • nuns_on_film natty strange (@nuns_on_film) reported

    @CharlesMittens I was thinking of overwatch. same issue though I'm not very good at FPS games when they're on consoles and I have to use a controller to aim? PC is better for that and I don't have a PC

  • 4Motumbu Motumbu 22.4 (@4Motumbu) reported

    Overwatch dps are ******* broken

  • X22ow Xavier Diaz (@X22ow) reported

    @witmer If only valorant implemented a replay function like overwatch did then that wouldn’t be an issue. Only thing my game has on yours LOL

  • TR1CHcreates TR1CH --- BLACK LIVES MATTER ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 (@TR1CHcreates) reported

    @TheNazzaro A custom couch for the basement (my husband and I are both big and tall) A couple good old pinball machines Another Corgi A weekly cleaning service so I don't have to deal with two Corgis worth of hair The DVa statue (Overwatch)

  • MegamiStitch Наташа✨#BLM (@MegamiStitch) reported

    I dont have the mental capacity to deal with world problems right now So, in 2 hrs Delaney goes to bed and I invite all of you xBox One Overwatch players to join in on a HAMSTER PARTY

  • roosterxshotz1 The One Above All (@roosterxshotz1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch For Overwatch 2 comp, can you please add a system that doesn’t punish teams who lose because they lost a teammate and doesn’t punish those who lag out of games? It’s very frustrating when it happens in Overwatch rn

  • TheReaperOfSins 𝕬𝖈𝖊 𝖂𝖔𝖑𝖋 (@TheReaperOfSins) reported

    @DestinyTheGame fix ur garbage game!! This is why overwatch is better

  • MARIOFAN252 Mii Maestro (@MARIOFAN252) reported

    @CoolCheeseVevo @Bungie It’s not a good look on bungies part. I think if possible a PTR style test server like with siege or Overwatch would be nice to have tested it with the public but stasis is a big issue

  • dude_lady Lady_Dude (@dude_lady) reported

    @A_Futrell101 I hate this because my overwatch SR DROPS TO ZERO. It's like server crash in Fortnite comp plus suspension.

  • JaylaDark Jayla Dark ジェイラ・ダーク (@JaylaDark) reported

    @distortthecode When I do play games online (SWBF2, Overwatch, etc) I don't play with a microphone on at all. I just don't engage. Oddly enough, didn't have that problem playing Warcraft.

  • Kyumere Myerse (@Kyumere) reported

    Say what you want about valorant but the ranking system is leagues above overwatch. I don't feel like my soul leaves my body when I lose. The Smurf problem is probably worse tho. #VALORANT

  • ConorThomas_13 Conor Thomas (@ConorThomas_13) reported

    @AskPlayStation This happened once and hasn't repeated -- never needed to uninstall/reinstall Overwatch before, this game has been played frequently for months with several days since its most recent update. Any idea what the error code was/means?

  • aopaderf So yup, we're screwed. Not the Suns though! (@aopaderf) reported

    @thehill I just want to know if they forced their Secret Service agents to watch / overwatch them while swimming in the ****! Because that would be really really bad, right?

  • anactualblob blob (@anactualblob) reported

    caveat, i guess, that i own mostly sigle player games, and i know it's more a problem in the multiplayer space and f2p. and again, by all means abolish lootboxes. just don't go around saying AAA is ruining the medium with gambling when you mean "call of duty, overwatch & destiny"

  • raylee_hebron raylee 🐈‍⬛💜 (@raylee_hebron) reported

    @raeshawnii basically the audio is glitching whenever i first start it up, it’ll crack and glitch and then i’ll restart it and it’s fine but if i open a game like overwatch, my audio will cut out again and then i can’t hear the game but sometimes i can hear my friends, or (pt. 1)

  • emarasuOW 🌼 emma 🌼 (@emarasuOW) reported

    @PeachDolI @OWAnonymous_ If everyone in the overwatch community collectively agrees to not play broken heroes the game would be great but that's not gonna happen is it

  • Urs00P URS00P (@Urs00P) reported

    @xbox every time my controller disconnects from my game it won’t reconnect while I’m in a #overwatch match. I’ve been kicked from like 20 games from my batteries dying or falling out and my controller not connecting back once I fix the batteries. #XboxSeriesS

  • Infinity_Ember Taryn (@Infinity_Ember) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hi, I've been having connection issues with my Playstation when playing Overwatch. My Internet has been perfectly fine and running smoothly but the game is still lagging and characters are moving erratically, why is this happening??
