Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JulionP Sol the Hero 헤로 ☀️ (@JulionP) reported

    Been seeing a lot of hate for Overwatch as a whole, not just 2. Overwatch WAS a good game, it just couldn't stand the test of time as a live service

  • LiquidxToxic Dee (@LiquidxToxic) reported

    Blizzard support is a ******* joke. I have a number on there from years ago that i dont have access to and to remove or change it i have to receive the sms and support keeps closing my tickets saying its a overwatch 2 issue and makes it impossible to get help

  • moonblastx David⁷ 🇵🇹 (@moonblastx) reported

    Tried Overwatch 2 again just now, the game is perfectly playable now, no more lag issues! However had a horrible first match haha, our healer just refused to heal people and then even swapped off to Tracer -.- wtf

  • MrjaIjanta Mrja Ijanta 🏳️‍⚧️| I Need a new Arc | (Debut tba) (@MrjaIjanta) reported

    @_glauxx_ the game is honestly completely ****** In releasing the patch for overwatch 1 that is this game, they ****** up the hero select, ultimates, reloading, the colourblind settings, pretty much everything is broken now

  • ImRevi102 Revi (@ImRevi102) reported

    Ive just been at least for the most part been playing overwatch 2 since the day it after it came out but there has been a lot of problems but there was very recently an update so hopefully it will help tbh

  • Mario21021 Mario (@Mario21021) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Finally got my account to merge and I have all my skins but the only problem is I don’t have the legacy credits Or kiriko unlocked even though I owned overwatch one any answers plz??

  • bladespanther81 Julez (@bladespanther81) reported

    Anyone else still unable to login to Overwatch 2 on xbox?

  • introverticl chris (@introverticl) reported

    Only thing they need to fix in Overwatch 2 for me is getting an achievement and then getting disconnected after.

  • Cal69_ Cal69 #UnicornQueen (@Cal69_) reported

    and yet again new overlays for Overwatch... and they arent overwatch related cos all the ones i had on SE are broken ... *sad noises* live in about 45 mins... need to dry my hair.. theres a lot of it

  • Joe05907513 Joe (@Joe05907513) reported

    @NoPulseGames @GodGamerBTW @Tensa_The_Sage The problem with overwatch aim assist is the default window size is too big. Like everyone wants 100 strength but then if you activate it too soon then you dont get any advantage. Id recommend window size between 12 and 20

  • Cyborgzx Smiley (@Cyborgzx) reported

    bro they updated overwatch and now i crash every other game ???

  • TragicFeint TragicNeko (@TragicFeint) reported

    Thank you for hanging out in stream! Destiny 2 was laggy and Overwatch 2 was a bit sweaty but at least there wasn't really any server issues lol stream ended on OW2 crashing but it was a good time, thanks for the support <3

  • ProfessorTanky Professor-Tanky (@ProfessorTanky) reported

    Love that I can't play overwatch 2 with my friends because of my completely unrelated cell phone service provider.

  • AstroFusion9 Matt (@AstroFusion9) reported

    @caitsunee True. I just meant that since Overwatch 2 is a live service game they could technically still bring back lootboxes if they wanted to. And I totally agree even though I’m not a huge fan of lootboxes they really did put an amazing amount of detail into the design.

  • Darknightmare71 Darknightmare760 (@Darknightmare71) reported

    @XboxSupport Fix overwatch 2 it's the only game I can't download cuz of 0x87e0000f

  • Mew2321 Mew232 (@Mew2321) reported

    Overwatch two okay. Sad they combined both games, but makes sense. New healer is tricky to use. If used right other new characters are broken

  • notginsol -G. (@notginsol) reported

    Just tried to boot up overwatch 2 and was met with crash after crash after crash :(

  • oshinoo_ Wonder of U (@oshinoo_) reported

    Every time the account merge queue gets below 100,000 it resets back to 330,000… #Overwatch @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch pls fix this

  • CM_thepanda CM (@CM_thepanda) reported

    @PlayOverwatch No queue but Overwatch 2 keeps asking me for my login, does a loading animation then asks me for my login again. Anyone know what to do?

  • Bloxer_Plays Bloxer Plays (@Bloxer_Plays) reported

    @memibtw If you wanna wait for hours to get into the loading screen and survive the ddos that overwatch has rn then play it

  • MolotovCupcake Brittany Vincent (@MolotovCupcake) reported

    Can't get into Overwatch 2, SF6 closed beta keeps giving me a communication error, Splatoon 3 kicked me out of three matches today. Is it too much to ask for online games to just work? It's not my internet, that's all I'm sayin.

  • welsh_goblin WelshGoblin (@welsh_goblin) reported

    @ChristinaTasty Outside issues aside, the game looks ****, overwatch 1 was good at launch and then got worse and worse with every update and “fix”. OW became an absolute parody of itself where only the sweatiest and saltiest stuck around and influenced it’s design. Somehow they now made it worse

  • Fenziees Fen (@Fenziees) reported

    overwatch has a serious support problem. especially considering mercy is just significantly better than every other support at keeping people alive

  • StannardOwen Stanbot (@StannardOwen) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I was finally able to get on after the patch last night. Thank you! I played in the last season of overwatch 1 and did not get the comp points for end of season ranks, just wondering if there is something to fix this. #Overwatch2

  • sentzer99 sentzer99 (@sentzer99) reported

    @PlayOverwatch my Overwatch account is blocked I can’t get in my account could your team please fix it thanks

  • Nostalgia_NH N I C K 平和 (@Nostalgia_NH) reported

    Played overwatch 2, waited about 20 minutes in queue, played my first match, got disconnected because of server issues, now queue time is longer. Yeah, im just gonna wait until the hype dies out.

  • Altinatesniper 🔴Altinatesniper21 (@Altinatesniper) reported

    why is it that every time I win the 7 games, I don't rank up its the third time this happened is comp in overwatch just broken? @PlayOverwatch

  • RogueIsDed 💀RogueIsDead💀 (@RogueIsDed) reported

    @Unsaltedsalt__ Playing tank in OW2 is the most fun I’ve had with Overwatch for a long time, period. While yes, the game doesn’t feel as smooth, I’m gonna chalk that up to the server issues for the time being. Tank queues have been 2-4 minutes max for me too so I dont understand that complaint.
