    @BlizzardCS I've been trying to log on to Overwatch 2 but all I'm met with is the error code BN-563. Mind helping out with what I need to do so I can play?

  • Benjamike_17 Ben Reed 🥗💪♥️ (@Benjamike_17) reported

    Anyone else experiencing this issue? When I first installed and played #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch a few days ago, I had all the characters (because I've had Overwatch for years). But now a BUNCH are locked telling me to do challenges THAT AREN'T EVEN THERE. Fix please?

  • ChrisGains91 Christopher Gains (@ChrisGains91) reported

    @63Aki16 @IGN hackers are already a huge problem look at why overwatch stopped it why would I need to give a video game my personal info to play a video game make it make sense

  • kennyfiya 🔥 (@kennyfiya) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch it would be nice if I didn’t disconnect from the servers everytime I get an achievement on Xbox. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Cluetube Clue (@Cluetube) reported

    @peter_dozal @OWAnonymous_ think the problem is other games are doing the trade off much better Back in the lootbox era overwatch was those "other games" that understood a good trade off for a system like that, even as a paid game. now it's fallen below the belt

  • stonermunchiess StonerMunchies (@stonermunchiess) reported

    Overwatch 2 Ranked is so broken. Please tell me how I can go 14-4. Get 30+ kills every game and yet I'm still in bronze 5?? nahhhh

  • Connor_MFFL Connor 🌵 (@Connor_MFFL) reported

    @SNTRYTHEDFIANT @ModernWarzone What about Straight Talk Wireless? Does anyone know if that will work? I tried Overwatch 2 on Series X and had no problems but I don't know if it will be the same for MW2.

  • SnomoSam SΔϺ 🥀 (@SnomoSam) reported

    the universe just doesn't want Overwatch 2 to happen Every time I celebrate an issue being fixed, another takes its place. Now, whenever a big fight happens, the latency shits itself and people are rubberbanding.

  • Liamzorr LS7😈 (@Liamzorr) reported

    @Wzqrd23 i’ve just had 3 vans in a row on overwatch because the games still broken so yeah i do

  • Doogie_1414 Ben (@Doogie_1414) reported

    @Bamclick I solved this problem by just playing Overwatch. But that's me. lol

  • ObrienRuins Alex "Free ya boy" Caruso (@ObrienRuins) reported

    Swear people on overwatch 2 just complain about everything, people were LEGITIMATELY saying cassidy is broken/overpowered. I have nothing nice to say to them, so I wrote a tweet about it.

  • MugsTV MugsTV (@MugsTV) reported

    Overwatch 2... 1st disconnect from the game not loading me in 2nd was because the game BSOD'd my computer banned from playing for 1hour. ******* SICK OVERWATCH!!!!

  • theflameburst Shem (@theflameburst) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @ATVI_AB @PlayOverwatch FIX YOUR GODDAMN SERVERS REMOVE THE ******* QUEUE I WANT TO PLAY OVERWATCH 2 FOR ***** SAKE

  • SeekerOfPudding Afropanda (@SeekerOfPudding) reported

    I can't fully support Overwatch 2 until they: -explain how the ranking system works -rework matchmaking in comp -fix connection issues -Also remove role limits

  • KushShinobi KushShinobi 🦂 🔌 (@KushShinobi) reported

    @Prodiggy93 Lol it's exactly what happens with the overwatch launch. Massive ddos

  • Blondeysama Paula Baumgrotz (@Blondeysama) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hey so I've been playing overwatch for a while and bought ow2 (some pack for like 30 something dollars) and I still have to do challenges to unlock my characters? I have all the old skins, so the passed over but not the characters 🥺 is this a known issue?

  • Cluetube Clue (@Cluetube) reported

    @peter_dozal @OWAnonymous_ think the problem is other games are doing the trade off much better. in the lootbox era overwatch was the "other games" that understood a good trade off for a system like that, even as a paid game. now it's fallen below the belt offering a lack luster version of a modern system

  • muffin42606 Keegan **** (@muffin42606) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm missing every single unlock I had from overwatch 1, thanks guys. On top of that, the fact I have to wait a year to link a new Xbox account is absolutely ridiculous. Seriously hope you guys fix this stuff, but for some reason I doubt that.

  • TGHRobertHanes Robert “Sorenzen” Hanes (@TGHRobertHanes) reported

    An even decent Genji right now feels like a problem in Overwatch lol

  • Zombie719 Philip K (@Zombie719) reported

    Man, it really feels like they should have delayed Overwatch 2. The amount of bugs, issues, and how unstable it is makes it feel like an unfinished game. On top of the battle pass issues, monetization of items that were free, and missing maps, it feels wrong. Stay safe everyone.

  • GamingHeroTetsu Tetsuya Hikari@gacha hell 2022 (@GamingHeroTetsu) reported

    This is a two way street here and it always has been. You can shove Overwatch funkopops up your *** for all I care. I don't have a problem with that. What I have an issue with is when you assclowns think it's okay to praise a game, but think nobody is allowed to criticize it.

  • severelea 🏳️‍🌈SevereLea🦇 (@severelea) reported

    Anybody else having issues with Overwatch 2 crashing their OBS?

  • 63Aki16 Aki (@63Aki16) reported

    @ChrisGains91 @DrFatNugz @IGN I think overwatch dropped it because they already had a lot of problems at launch.

  • dill_the_skinny Dillon Delgado (@dill_the_skinny) reported

    Playing Overwatch 2 really makes me wish Valve would fix Team Fortress 2's weird frame drop issue so I could go back to playing that game, instead.

  • sv_wa18 ****** (@sv_wa18) reported

    Hello blizzard i have a problem with my account i connected my account in blizzard for kiriko skin when I connected my account and login into overwatch my stuff is gone and they gave me skin kiriko without my stuff how do i solve this problem? @Blizzard_Ent

  • Tsunayoshi1987 Dante The Last TimeLord (@Tsunayoshi1987) reported

    @Morgi181 @OoohDebbie @PlayOverwatch Sure but was the quality on par with overwatch though... don't get me wrong.. I don't like it either.. but it only helps support the game so we get more content out of it.. My only real issue is that battle pass doesn't give you any coins back

  • omistar2392 0mistar (@omistar2392) reported

    The fact sombra is THAT broken in overwatch 2 is actually mind blowing. I know what hero i'm abusing in ranked till it gets nerfed lol

  • ChrisGains91 Christopher Gains (@ChrisGains91) reported

    @DrFatNugz @63Aki16 @IGN What grocery store has ur personal info?? This is way different then a hospital lol this is a video game why in the world do we need to give personal info to a video game that already has a hacking problem lol like do y’all not have brains look at why overwatch dropped it
