Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • wrenchdee wrenchd (@wrenchdee) reported

    @BirbIrl i think queue incentives are horrible for making the player feel like they have to queue a certain role over another, and i say that having mained DPS in overwatch with their queue incentives, it doesn't solve anything and it's a comedic "solution" to the bigger issue

  • mxnstrs gnarly ♦ quinn (@mxnstrs) reported

    @AskPlayStation I'm able to load Overwatch on my husband's account, it seems! When I loaded, the error code came up almost immediately.

  • denizalyzsa Eggmami  (@denizalyzsa) reported

    Is there a reason why Apex doesn't have a Grandmaster rank after Master, before reaching Predator? (Basically like how Overwatch had their ranking system). I feel like this would solve a lot of problems for the high-ranked cc's/pros that are complaining rn.

  • Natonic5 Natonic🦍🗿 (@Natonic5) reported

    @PaladinsGame fix your game half your player base hasn't been able to play the game for 2 weeks now and I desperately need a better alternative to overwatch

  • strangefingers Crook (@strangefingers) reported

    me two weeks ago: blizzard has completely broken my trust 😡 me every day since then: 🥃 time to fukcing tweet about overwatch

  • wolfyysfine ✰ Wolfyy ✰ (@wolfyysfine) reported

    i think i have a problem…. i have returned to overwatch..

  • DaddlyPapa Dad (@DaddlyPapa) reported

    Fix Overwatch 2 though!

  • Seren1tynow Serenitynow (@Seren1tynow) reported

    People need to stop being “excited for the future of overwatch”. And worry more about the present and reality of current overwatch. You’re playing a live service game. You got 2 balance patches in a year and nothing released since your competitor released their game. Embarrassing

  • newagenutty Colm (@newagenutty) reported

    One day i wont get framerate drop issues from overwatch

  • Mario_Man2235 MarioMan (@Mario_Man2235) reported

    @RobertEcafBaker @gematsu Gundam looked less like a live service and more like an Overwatch clone with overly desaturated visuals.

  • Clarkeyb0y Clarke Baldwin (@Clarkeyb0y) reported

    @AlphaOmegaSin The level of disconnect execs have from what gamers want is often terrifying. Actual quote from an exec back in Overwatch Dev: "Battle royale is dead, no point getting into that genre" The month that Apex Legends launched.

  • Cransoon Cransoon (@Cransoon) reported

    @Crewsn_ Did this back when I worked service desk at Microcenter once. Someone was complaining about constant crashes in games so I played some deathmatch in Overwatch after the tune up, lol.

  • VikkiKitty VikkiKitty (@VikkiKitty) reported

    Wanted to be transparent with everyone, especially with my Overwatch fam: I have not received any offer or info on the OWL 2022 season. After the last OWL season, there's been a disconnect and the lack of communication is the most frustrating aspect of it all.

  • Dreapa_ Dreapa (@Dreapa_) reported

    I’m ngl I love overwatch, but the way the game is now it’s just not playable. In the past there was bad metas, broken mechanics, etc but they were fixed eventually. As it stands rn, nothing wrong with overwatch will ever be fixed. They’re too focused on OW2 (or we think they are)

  • L2WithNoiq Jonathan (@L2WithNoiq) reported

    For my Apex and Overwatch players: Which meta is more broken?

  • MoonlightLodge Moonlight Lodge Productions (@MoonlightLodge) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce World of Warcraft, Overwatch and perhaps some newer titles like Elden ring. At present my laptop runs everything on 1997 crash bandicoot graphics and beyond being a word processor I have to cancel gaming when I'm away from home ;-;

  • warriordinag warriordinag (@warriordinag) reported

    @AaColibri @ItsSomjuu That sounds more like a random smurf bot than a dev issue, unless you just mean your internet cutting. Overwatch does have some network issues, but I don’t find it consistent even as I have unstable internet. I don’t believe it’s intentional.

  • umuisgamer 🌸 umu 🌸 (@umuisgamer) reported

    how to fix pc to not crash pls, lowest settings on overwatch gets me to almost 80 celsius, plus is that even normal?

  • PVPX_ C9 PVPX (@PVPX_) reported

    Apex is having the Overwatch problem where you can accidently hit your teammates with your own ult while throwing it (example: Horizon ult hitting teammate after you throw it) In Overwatch they actually changed it so your ult goes through teammates when you are throwing it

  • mxnstrs gnarly ♦ quinn (@mxnstrs) reported

    @AskPlayStation Thank you for responding! I'm just trying to play Overwatch on the PS4. I tried looking at support but the error code isn't on there. Thank you for the help!

  • NSCSGaming NotSoCommonSense (@NSCSGaming) reported

    @LateNightHalo The issue with the comparison is all those other games are very high mechanically skilled games quake, unreal, doom, overwatch, counterstrike. Classic halo is not. The argument has never really been about a singular mechanic but that games should have a deep mechanical skillgap

  • laxatiivez lax (@laxatiivez) reported

    These random lag spikes happen all the time on apex, and it happens at the worst times too. My game just decides to freeze on a final squad fight for the win and I get downed because of it. This doesn't happen in any other game like Call of Duty, Overwatch, and Fortnite

  • Sorin_FF Sorin (@Sorin_FF) reported

    @Zero_RVL Maybe it's because I play multiplayer games(and yeah thats the biggest issue here its a damn single player game) but im use to not being able to pause lol... Overwatch, league of legends, Final Fantasy XIV, splatoon...

  • Aivdrtt andy (@Aivdrtt) reported

    i just assume luka developed his anger issues by playing overwatch

  • Zalaphrax ¡Fort! (@Zalaphrax) reported

    Ngl, Overwatch going 5v5 I feel isnt gonna be a problem, especially if they rework it so tanks dont get decimated. I hope they add a ban system later on though in ranked, especially since we'll be approaching enough characters to make it feasible in OW2

  • felixw1 Felix Wood (@felixw1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @DarkHorseComics when we're getting #NewBlood issue 5?! #Overwatch

  • LofiLily Lilylofi! (@LofiLily) reported

    @Seren1tynow Dota gets 2 major patches a year plus in-game story pve content, Apex also gets crazy amounts story with much more consistent seasonal skin and music content. Overwatch doesn't even come close to other live service games in terms of quality or quantity.

  • Marlamin Martin Benjamins (@Marlamin) reported

    Note that the version names in these configs are set by humans as the one for Hearthstone often has errors and some Overwatch ones are masked to "1" in an attempt to hide it being OW2. (Also, replies disabled since it would also spam Zorb's timeline which wasn't my intention.)

  • two0hhsixxreign Blackheart (Rip Dolph) (@two0hhsixxreign) reported

    @BigBox1935 @OfficialXboxU And I don’t see the problem I like overwatch and I like gundam.

  • charizard_hht Jacob 🔥 (@charizard_hht) reported

    @itscresty doom gets pretty repetitive after a while, tf2 just doesnt compare to overwatch despite heavily inspiring it, i dont really enjoy games that are super ******* difficult for no reason so crash isnt really my thing, and i only played a bit of superhot & it was in VR
