  • Veemo_ Veemo (@Veemo_) reported

    Games doesn't even let me login. LC 208 always pops up #Overwatch2 #overwatch #ActivisionBlizzard

  • JordanLeveiller just a random gamer (@JordanLeveiller) reported

    Are overwatch 2 servers down for ps5? It keeps saying I got disconnected

  • Get_Flanked Get Flanked | DZ (@Get_Flanked) reported

    So many people are interested in playing live service games but feel like they are too far behind to start or get back into it now. Overwatch 2 has provided a nice answer to that problem.

  • xxyumiix Yumii (@xxyumiix) reported

    @Femalegirl7 I'd say overwatch but I still can't login so

  • waveturtlejake Jake-o-Lantern 🎃 (@waveturtlejake) reported

    Imo, the best way for a game like Overwatch to deal with its toxic chat problem would be to have chatting not be available until an account has played a substantial amount of time, so that a ban means a player *actually* loses access to it for a while, even if they start

  • yonda_adnoy yonda adnoy (@yonda_adnoy) reported

    @BlizzardCS hello since last maintenance my account shows the error lc-208 while trying to loggin to overwatch 2 on switch

  • kitiekath Kat 🐈 (@kitiekath) reported

    Hate how I can run Overwatch 2 on ultra settings with no hiccups but only get 160 FPS and consistent frame drops on Valorant... Definitely a game issue lol

  • PapaStiltz PapaStiltz (@PapaStiltz) reported

    @The__Legion_ @CucumberColuge If you think that’s the issue you haven’t played overwatch in a minute. This game punishes players who got boosted or relied on the shields. You need mechanics plain and simple

  • Himeluigi64 tristen huge cash williams (@Himeluigi64) reported

    @nyacinthie I think id prefer mouse/KB because I have bad joints and moving the controller around with motion hurts after a few matches. I dont really have that problem with stuff like pc fortnite and overwatch

  • NyanSox SpookySox🎃💙#BLM (@NyanSox) reported

    anyone have a working green screen workshop code for Overwatch 2. Mine is broken and its not letting me edit workshop for some reason.....

  • xTheCrowing Dan Alexander (@xTheCrowing) reported

    Either way it’s not a good look, and it’s really sad that the maintenance broke it back with another LC-208 error after having to wait till Friday just to get in……. #worstlaunchever #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • SilverBladeZ_ BH3 | SilverBladeZ (@SilverBladeZ_) reported

    @Sohan1916 @OverwatchFR @BlizzardCSEU_FR OK so it's not a problem to link my pc account ( from my pc) with my ps4 account even if this ps4 account is now totally empty? Shouldn't I wait at least for my ps4 account to get his skins back?

  • hancorry Hancorry (@hancorry) reported

    Woke up and immediately thought OVERWATCH. This may be a problem

  • CjHahn5 Hurtz Szn 🗣💯 (@CjHahn5) reported

    @BlizzardCS why can I not play overwatch. I constantly get error code LC-208

  • ibot_x Ibot_x (@ibot_x) reported

    @BlizzardCS hey guys... I just got the login error in overwatch 2. I'll be playing since release and my internet connection ist stable. So where is the problem right now.

  • McLove93 Robert McLove (@McLove93) reported

    @VarsityGamingTV The problem of overwatch is his community. 90% has no idea on what to do and it feels hopeless to play a game with people with half a brain cell

  • The_Roobster Ruby (@The_Roobster) reported

    Overwatch 2 is genuinely a pretty fun game but holy **** these are the worst server issues I’ve ever seen Lmao.. I haven’t been able to play with any of my friends yet thats wild

  • Liamlun1 Liamlun (@Liamlun1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I LOVE Overwatch 2, it feels like when Overwatch 1 launched and is so fun. BUT. Moira, Orisa and Mei is a few characters that just ruin the hole game. Moira is the biggest problem though. If she holds right mousebutton in the general direction of someone the die.

  • Griim_of_Death OSAMA (@Griim_of_Death) reported

    Just deleted overwatch 2, fix your game and we will come back to it. The servers are so bad that I got kicked from a competitive game just because I received achievement on Xbox!!! #Xbox #Overwatch2

  • BumpyRumpy Rumpy bumpy (@BumpyRumpy) reported

    Getting LC-208 error on overwatch 2 since this morning i havnt been able to get on all day wtf easily the worst launch of all time @PlayOverwatch @ATVI_AB

  • gadps245 LXRD WWE FAN (@gadps245) reported

    Bro this issue is still not fixed for me and I’ve so far put in 5 tickets on the blizzard support website and have had no response. It’s been over 24 hours by now. Wtf blizzard? I just want to play overwatch 2 on Xbox. All my Xbox friends are all in so y not me and y no reply?

  • lemurkn1ts lemurkn1ts (@lemurkn1ts) reported

    @ZoydOW @Soembie The Little Axe Girl (LAG), coming to Overwatch 3. Where she has 3 axes and her ult is a massive cleave.

  • Free_vancliff Freeman Vancliff (@Free_vancliff) reported

    Was able to play overwatch 2 yesterday, after about 2 previous days of behind behind 2,999 people in queue, just so I could get greeted with a server error screen. After all that I gotta say, I’m kinda pissed. I paid money for watch point, why are good number of my heroes locked?

  • Moneyreid17 ✨Demon Reid🎃 (@Moneyreid17) reported

    @PlayOverwatch i was fine playing overwatch yesterday when i finally got in! after the server update, im back to the login error (LC-208) and my characters were locked when they shouldn't be. i merged since the option first came out on OW1 🫤

  • tdoesntexist_ tom (@tdoesntexist_) reported

    @91Stats @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 #overwatch LC-208 FIX PLEASE? why do different accounts work but mine keeps getting the error. All characters were “locked” during comp for some reason when i’ve owned the game whenever. Sheer disappointment in this game, hopefully a fix asap

  • Kaisdey Kaisdey (@Kaisdey) reported

    Getting constant LC-208 errors on Overwatch even after restarting, resetting router, reconnecting on Battlenet… oh well, guess I’ll play #Deathloop instead!

  • TSF1020 Tyler (@TSF1020) reported

    @rocksjock @VarsityGamingTV Not overwatch but the "overwatch 2" is terribly handled throughout. So many issues and poor choices

  • Need1ASAP 🦀🤓 (@Need1ASAP) reported

    @qCrze_ Jus play overwatch instead solves your problems

  • CjKingAnimation Cjking_SB4Q (@CjKingAnimation) reported

    @BlizzardCS Please fix your "resend verification email" button on your website. I verified my email months ago when it told me to in Overwatch 1! Now its not verified and won't send a new link.
