  • Kindredlife1 Kindred/CasualCore (@Kindredlife1) reported

    @Formula_Bob @Eklipse_gg It's been an on going issue, Bob. Head over to the Eklipse discord and file a ticket...my overwatch streams take at least 24 hours and non supported games cam take longer. This is all due to system upgrades they have going on.

  • S1_Ankua Ankua (@S1_Ankua) reported

    @elbaito_2 @OWCavalry Also fix the switch crashing overwatch whenever you get killed lmfao,got so many ranked penalties for that

    @BlizzardCS I am having trouble with playing with a group that is on PC in Overwatch 2. Every single time without fail, the que will take as long as possible to give us a game. And when I leave the group and they reque, they find a game instantly. Any tips to help solve this?

  • priasejati7815 roger (@priasejati7815) reported

    @babyghoul97 @overwatch @Reddit Give a try to CLERKCODES on instagram that guy helped me fix my account I trust him

  • Dakiis_ 𝐃𝐚𝐤𝐢🇺🇦 (@Dakiis_) reported

    Is anyone else having problems trying to play the overwatch dating simulator? I've tried it on my phone and xbox and it still doesn't work :( is it a pc only thing?#Overwatch2 #loverwatch

  • Kryptiical Kryptical (@Kryptiical) reported

    @Souldesire5 @EndersFPS You whiffed an easy kill. Overwatch is more active than BF and Cod (MP not warzone) it's not a dead game at all. Don't blame being on console for clunky gameplay, that's a skill issue not a hardware restriction.

  • simnonimous 🤫🤫🤫🤫 (@simnonimous) reported

    @ROARINGHElGHTS @Crosimmer Sims 3 is unfortunately prone to slowdown and lag. It will happen on the machines above too. NRAAs Overwatch will help by clearing errors, stopping loops (stereo, tv, etc) and culling unnecessary data.

  • bubblyteee bubble🫧 (@bubblyteee) reported

    all i want is to be really really bad at overwatch rn wnd its just not working

  • Pink_Sn0wFlake Kari Tori (@Pink_Sn0wFlake) reported

    @Rendrox4943 Apex gets it the worst But other games have the issue too, r6 and overwatch are pretty bad too, extraction can be annoying, and Warframe only seems affected when trying to load a lot like open world or railjack

  • ABYFGC A.B.Y. (@ABYFGC) reported

    Overwatch 2 is honestly in a bad spot right now. I hate how broken Mercy is right now. She has too much self sustain. If she’s gonna be like this, give the ***** 150 health. Seeing her dash and then heal low health targets and HEAL herself by a large amount is wild

  • Jean_Fatale Janick (@Jean_Fatale) reported

    @aaronkellerOW please fix the seolbim mercy skin with her staff the ribbons are not the same as in overwatch 1

  • arundyou 🤍 em 𓂃 ☆ (@arundyou) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi, every time i try to open the shop on overwatch it says “the shop is currently unavailable” .. how can i fix this?

  • TrollEmarati حمد (@TrollEmarati) reported

    now i remember why i don’t like playing overwatch, why are league servers down 😞😞😞

  • RGamer09 RGamer (@RGamer09) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Hey Overwatch...your queue lines to get into games are kinda absurd now since S3 started. Every match now takes 5-8 mins to play a round, only to get bodied due to the broken matchmaking. Any plans on dealing with this? Might not play for a while till its fixed. :(

  • NavieJester41 NavieJester4 (@NavieJester41) reported

    @Waffle_64 @AsutoKaijo @PlayOverwatch like I said I could careless it’s you I have an issue with. Keep that **** to your fan fiction or proper threads. It’s like seeing people post overwatch porn under the official post it’s tasteless and weird. Bagging for something you fantasize about to be added to a game. gross

  • Alexthegoaaaaat Alex (@Alexthegoaaaaat) reported

    @BlizzardCS Im having a problem on Overwatch 2, i have 250 credits and trying to purchase the painted skin on doomfist but it says "The purchase failed. Please try again later." Its been an hour so far and it still says that

  • emil0823 CyberClark (@emil0823) reported

    @b0gur That's not just overwatch, it's all games where you pay for something other than self satisfaction. That's why live service games die very quickly

  • Binerexis Binny Rexis (@Binerexis) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hi, is there a known issue with logging into Overwatch 2? Keep getting a "failed to connect to game server" error.

  • Matter_Voids Adrian Arriaga (@Matter_Voids) reported

    @BlizzardCS Question. when I launch Overwatch on my external monitor from my laptop i get 25 FPS or lower. It’s not utilizing my graphics card. Is this an ongoing issue? I hear unplugging the external before the game launches works. But this is a work around not a fix.

  • Boxx_Senpai Boxx (8$) (@Boxx_Senpai) reported

    @TeamStratosphre Yeah, I had the same issue just the other day. It didn’t only cut out my Overwatch audio but my entire audio completely. I was playing Spotify at the time and it also went out. I had to reply in my audio device and restart Overwatch.

  • agentjx7 call that a (James pending) (@agentjx7) reported

    Fortnite would be such a fun game if it didn't lag ******* horribly all the time. I literally don't get it-- my computer runs Apex fine, it ran Valorant and Overwatch fine, why can't Epic make a game that functions properly?

  • HowdyHowdy18 Boop (@HowdyHowdy18) reported

    @Zinotsune I do not why people struggle with comprehending why one shots are bad for Overwatch. It's not like Apex or Val where your spawned in a giant map where you have to cover a bunch of distance to get to the enemy or there's a bunch of abilities to alleviate the problem-

  • Deaner1445 Deaner (@Deaner1445) reported

    @Rinimiki Mmm tasty, looks like apex has a RP glitch like how overwatch 1 had one a few years back

  • StreamerRage Anykeys (@StreamerRage) reported

    @PlayOverwatch How is it posible that mercy still can revivie someone when you sleep her while doing animation this seems like one of an other ****** bug you wonnt fix for over 5 years ? #Overwatch2 @ATVI_AB @BlizzardCSEU_EN #Blizzard #overwatch

  • itsdevotae oh deer.ᐟ ☕️ (@itsdevotae) reported

  • TwilightBuns Bunny The Owlbear (@TwilightBuns) reported

    I was playing overwatch and was accused of being a bot, my game was lagging really bad and I explained and apologised, and then everyone accused me of being a bot even harder smh 😔

  • Lord_Fumbles Fumbles The Great| V-Tuber Drummer ARC🥁🥁 (@Lord_Fumbles) reported

    Anybody else get this weird #glitch in #overwatch where it’ll put you in a game and then have you stuck in the loading screen but then give you a countdown and subsequently kick you out of the game for inactivity??
