    @BlizzardCS hi, I am reaching out to you guys seeking help because I feel helpless at this point. every time I try to load up Overwatch, I get this error code: (Lost connection to game server LC-202). I have done many things to try and fix this issue but nothing I do helps.

  • skjlight SkjRow (@skjlight) reported

  • kozakuraisland Skye (@kozakuraisland) reported

    i have had this problem in the past, and was unable to play overwatch for 3 months because of it. eventually, the problem fixed itself but Overwatch is one of my all rime favorite games and I can’t even play because of this error code I am receiving. so you guys are my last hope.

  • HealsNKills HNK 👽 (@HealsNKills) reported from Gibson, Arkansas

    I never had anger issues while player Overwatch. No matter the situation. But playing SplitGate makes me want to punch a ******* brick wall as hard as I can

  • selswillow muhammad⁷ (@selswillow) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi, i’ve been having trouble connecting to overwatch all day. it doesn’t even log into the game but i can connect to other games just fine. are the servers down?

  • TheNurseBromo The Nurse Bromo 🐝 (@TheNurseBromo) reported

    .@BlizzardCS got back to me about my inability to connect to the Overwatch game server. Apparently, it's an issue currently with Wave Broadband users on the west coast of the US. They recommended using a VPN (it's not a solution, just a workaround) until it's fixed. #Overwatch

  • darkpanictwitch Rylie, legally (@darkpanictwitch) reported

    So yeah, took longer than I wanted but I managed to fix all the bugs in my twitch overlay to track overwatch results (I am not a front-end dev, but its good to learn new things!). Off to run my weekly 5k, then I'll be testing that out in a couple hours... fun!

  • etoilecharlie lynn 🇵🇸 (@etoilecharlie) reported

    @BlizzardCS I play overwatch on PS4 and when I join a competitive match I keep getting disconnected and can’t rejoin the match. I don’t have any connection issue.

  • SparkyRCat Sparky (@SparkyRCat) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm not able to enter Overwatch. After login it hangs on "entering game" for a minute and then says "lost connection to server." I've gone through the trouble shooting steps and still no luck. This is happening to both me and my wife on separate PCs.

  • IJW28940356 IJW (@IJW28940356) reported

    @Fritz844 @FIGfluencer Yeah there is a network effect, but it can be broken quickly by releasing one bad title, or waiting to long to release a new one because of how competitive the industry is. See for example Overwatch.

  • liampt06 Liam (@liampt06) reported

    Fix the goddamn overtime in overwatch. When someone isnt on the objective, the game should be OVER.

  • Gelisinecoin Cez mi? (@Gelisinecoin) reported

    @CSGO guys you have to resolve the hacker problem. maybe tournaments is enough for earn money i don't know. me and my friends deleted cs go because of cheaters. this is not about trustfactor, we all have at least 2k hours. go use overwatch yourselves and fix this.

  • Ewesson_ow Ewesson (@Ewesson_ow) reported

    the biggest problem with Overwatch is that you have very long Q times as a dps, but in the end most than half your games are rigged and bad quality. You wait a long time just for your game to not even be decent. Splitgate is much funnier lmao

  • STR4WB3RRYK1LL ur lil strawberry (@STR4WB3RRYK1LL) reported

    This girl joined our overwatch group talking about “I don’t get why other women are hostile towards me in this game” and then said “I’m not like other girls I’m not just going to play dva and mercy” … 💀 yes I wonder why we would have a problem with you

    Ok overwatch is back on my PC and apex shouldn't lag anymore life is good

  • TurcotteGage Turcotteboi (@TurcotteGage) reported

    @DankHazardous @MonstersMortals It’s okay to still love a game even if you hate the dev or company. People obviously still play overwatch or other stuff even after the whole issue with Activision.

  • AdelphiaTTV AdelphiaTTV (@AdelphiaTTV) reported

    @BovadaOfficial @thePatMorrow as usual the wagers for overwatch league have disappeared right before the last game of the day started and have not returned. Please fix this, it's incredibly frustrating to not be able to bet on each map outcome.
