    I have to restart after every game because it gives me an error after while trying to join a another game, in any type of mode, even practice range. Overwatch 2 is becoming Paladins but worse. #Overwatch2

    Is anyone else getting error constantly whilst searching for a game on Overwatch? 😩

  • Dutra_TV
    Dutra, but 💀 🎺 (@Dutra_TV) reported

    so who else is just getting constant "error starting game, try again" for Overwatch 2? OR if you do get in a game, your ping is astronomically higher than usual. I average 32ms ping on NA-West, and I'm getting 180-200ms

    You'd think a AAA game development team would have figured out all the game breaking bugs and network issues surrounding their game instead of letting it continue breaking for over a week. In totally unrelated news, I'm really enjoying Support in Overwatch 2. Me like Moira :3
