Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RS_NEXT_GEN RS UNRELEASED (@RS_NEXT_GEN) reported

    @Zereldo I think the problem with RuneScape is that it's often very unintuitive. Say you're playing Overwatch or Guild Wars 2. It's very easy to understand what your 'regular' attack is vs. the attacks that deal more damage (even if you don't know the specific numbers). Whereas, ...

    @GrimScotty I’m done with the cod community **** teams **** all that **** I don’t care I’m an overwatch player I don’t play cod anymore and I’m happier with my decision I’ll still support the problem I like but **** the rest of y’all I’m out

  • WyomingMyst Myst / Craig / Kaede (depending on the game) (@WyomingMyst) reported

    @cabreeezy_ @PlayOverwatch Hey there, someone in the community pointed out this tweet to me. I am one of the Overwatch forum community members who help others with tech issues. I don't think there are widespread issues going on as reports are relatively low on the forums. (1/2)

  • _rpflynn Richard Flynn (@_rpflynn) reported

    Any other console players having massive lag problems in #Overwatch? Practically unplayable on PS5 this weekend. Every other game playing fine so don’t think it’s my wifi

  • rwpeterson Bob Peterson (@rwpeterson) reported

    @Lispegistus The changes in XCOM2/mods/later SRPGs that fix the turn order, disincentivize going into overwatch every turn, etc. get rid of some of the more tedious parts of the gameplay.

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    How can you hope to have a good sell with Overwatch 2 when you refuse to fix the issues present in Overwatch 1...#Overwatch

  • Penelopenny_ penelope. (@Penelopenny_) reported

    my problem is when i play overwatch i can’t stop

  • hawkeye1326 hawkeye1326 (@hawkeye1326) reported

    @RaidAway I'll give it that, it was solid, very few bugs if any, the only problem I had with it was the overwatch hero style game play. Remove that one thing and it's a top 5 cod to me, up there with bo1, mw2, waw, bo2 and maybe even mw3

  • zoozoostakken Zo (@zoozoostakken) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your ******* game. I keep getting kicked off Overwatch and can't log back in. And once I do I'll have to deal with a ban. ******* irritating

  • SandyK1LL SΛNDY (@SandyK1LL) reported

    @_rpflynn Had some bad lag in Apex but Overwatch was fine last night

  • NecroVizual 《NecroVizual - voice dweeb》 (@NecroVizual) reported

    Therapy expensive. Just play 5 rounds of comp overwatch and be toxic. Solves your issues right away

  • burnsy_zzz Gavin (@burnsy_zzz) reported

    It’s funny how there hasn’t been any new characters in Overwatch, but yet after a year or so, the game I still completely balanced, so instead of balancing, they give us broken scatter arrow, shatter that can go through walls, and buff the cowboy AGAIN!

  • Austrocious Austin (@Austrocious) reported

    @LotharHS Banning characters in any competitive game is dumb as ****. Learn to play around them, or play Minecraft. If a character is really broken, the devs will fix them. Unless those devs work on Overwatch...

  • VibinWithViolet Violet💙 (@VibinWithViolet) reported

    Hots takes but react Twitch meta deserve longer bans/permas + there's worse issues in Overwatch than Brigitte.

  • gamersagain Bruno (@gamersagain) reported

    @YaBoiRobrt My biggest problem with overwatch is the amount of stuns in the game

  • DrNerdAlert Justin (@DrNerdAlert) reported

    I'm losing more and more sanity, Reinhardt can just kill you through shields with his slam. It doesn't even line up with his ult hit box, nor his voiceline. Climbing the most broken competitive ladder is the Overwatch experience

  • Nutquesadilla Nutquesadilla 🥜 (@Nutquesadilla) reported

    @logishere @sharktoofs1 Oh yeah I forgot about overwatch, I agree they do a lot of cool **** Maybe my issue is that apex is kinda more realistic? Idk, I feel like with overwatch and fortnite skins are cooler cuz of the bright colors and smooth textures/models

  • fuckyourprocess mikael schumacher (@fuckyourprocess) reported

  • Patrik24693087 Patrik (@Patrik24693087) reported

    @RogueCompany Stop,stop no new rogues, balance the old ones,fix bugs, matchmaking,ranked And more... After that give US new Rogue... Now you act like poor copy of Blizzard Overwatch... New hero,new hero,rework,rework. Game Is dead asf. And RoCo Will end the same way.

  • CaityTrina Caity (@CaityTrina) reported

    @Acnh2Spooky Obsession: ☕ Hobby: art(color pencil work/digital) Issues: depression I don't feel like playing anything rn 🥲 my fav series range from acnh, kingdom hearts, zelda, overwatch, sims, Danganronpa, minecraft, hyrule warriors, Persona, & I've a massive backlog of games to try 😬

  • FarrierTheFirst Farrier😼 (@FarrierTheFirst) reported

    @crack_bandicoot @Sh4dow_Sniper To an extent but its the worst in Valorant. It wasn’t even that bad in CS when I switched to Overwatch and am surprised a community is more toxic than OW’s. my main problem is all the young kids who know nothing about the game but talk sh!t. Was never this bad in CS’ prime days

  • HeIlbornHottie laz 🔞 (@HeIlbornHottie) reported

    you know, usually i have no problem getting into porn of a show/game i watch or play or whatever, but for some ******* reason, i can't look at LoK porn, OR Overwatch porn

  • zanbtv ZanB (@zanbtv) reported

    I realized people in Overwatch have trouble holding down W.

  • LeRoyal__ LeRoyal (@LeRoyal__) reported

    @CustomUrlsSuck Beside my ISP being *** and saying we have 50MBPS lol i get like 70-100 ms in apex and i lag and get packet loss and like 80ms in overwatch. when the lobbies say like 30-40ms for apex i never get that and OW idk but lowest ive had was 60 on a good day

  • professor_o_pog poggers (@professor_o_pog) reported

    @BlizzardCS Note that my displayed latency and interpolation are well within the normal bounds for the game to function. This lag spike occurs the moment I am loading into the game, as I can tell by the Overwatch background.

  • EmpressCirque Bronwyn 🍑 Monarch of Peaches (@EmpressCirque) reported

    @octipuff For sure - I think Overwatch really made the problem worse too with their seasonal skins. Especially when they initially didn’t say if they would ever come back. Now they do, but I remember it took several events for them to say they’d offer skins during the next one.

    I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW UPSET MINJI WAS ABOUT SEHOON BABY YOU CAN DO BETTER !!!! she was really in her “i can fix him” stage shes so happy talking about playing overwatch and the music she likes all for him to be like “damn not me”
