Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • datjarebear datjarebear (@datjarebear) reported

    @ashoyki I never played either of them. Only Overwatch. I’ve never had an actual problem with the game. I’m only excited about the Overwatch 2 campaign

  • DellStarX DSX🐝🇻🇨 (@DellStarX) reported

    In some ways, Im glad Overwatch 2 doesnt have a release date because devs should get as much time as they need, but if this **** releases in like 2024 then its kind of a problem cuz imo devs shouldnt be announcing games 5 years before they release thats some cyberpunk 2077 bs.

  • Spring_OW Dima Chuprina (@Spring_OW) reported

    the only problem i have for overwatch 2 is that they announced it too early. Imagine if they announced it right now and said it’s coming out next year. I would have preferred that no cap

  • MomosMnet Carl G. - Black Lives Matter (@MomosMnet) reported

    @ggDoA I totally agree, but what I don't like is how they basically left Overwatch in the dust when it's supposed to be more of a live service game that gets regular updates.

  • duooftwo cel 🍓 hating it here uwu (@duooftwo) reported

    i feel like overwatch 2 has a similar problem to rwby in the sense that the original designs of the characters are so clean and iconic and subsequent designs, although not inherently bad, just couldn't meet the bar that had been set up :/

  • porksouda elijah (@porksouda) reported

    @SamitoFPS @PlayOverwatch this game will be amazing . overwatch 1 has balance issues that do need to be fixed but even if we dont get a new character before ow2 comes out im sure ow2 will SURPASS our expectations to the point where the community can offer forgiveness for the lack of content recently .

  • BeakdMan BeakdMan (@BeakdMan) reported

    Guys i was falsely first overwatch banned and then vac'd for phone sharing although i didn't cheat on any of my 3 accounts,didn't give them to anyone,did not exploit any glitch nor even install any software on my pc.And i didn't even smurf.Pls lift the ban @Steam_Support @CSGO 54

  • SucciAstaroth MayMay (@SucciAstaroth) reported

    @Gale_Adelade the issue is being forced to still have Overwatch to work on, while also having O2 in the distance. short sightedness, maybe, but there's still whole picture to look at

  • V01D_PH03N1X Void (@V01D_PH03N1X) reported

    I cant even play ******* overwatch because our internet is ******* bad. I cant catch a ******* break. And 100% if i tried listening to music it would crash again. Just ******* end me already. I’m upset and cant even ******* do anything about it

  • bisexuaIsombra sombra supremacy👾 (@bisexuaIsombra) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix sombra’s hack ui in overwatch 2

  • Discocheats 96 Cait Bitter Beings (@Discocheats) reported

    the problem then is that I think Overwatch is ******* dire as an esport. like there are other shooters in that space, Siege, CSGO, Valorant now, that outshine it. Overwatch had its niche and it ditched it to be something worse

  • nebukhanezzar Nebukhanezzer (@nebukhanezzar) reported

    @zajtjeg @isthislivettv @PlayOverwatch If the game is mostly just an expansion and can literally be played in the same client with overwatch 1 player, then why is it being sold as a sequel for 70 bucks. I think you can see the issue here.

  • metalgearballs Solid Dylan (@metalgearballs) reported

    @y4rth @Cardboardface2 Lmao yeah but hopefully they add a prime mode of queuing like cs. I know overwatch already had game keys that were cheap and easy to get so I don't think it'll be a huge issue. I also haven't gotten to watch the presentation on it yet so maybe they did add something like that

  • aboutbprose . (@aboutbprose) reported

    @PlayOverwatch no problem not mention the date of overwatch 2, the big problem was to pretend that overwatch 1 doesn't exist and leave the community abandoned....

  • _GideonGraves Zach (@_GideonGraves) reported

    @jakeow This is a good take. However, I think a lot of people have lost faith in Blizzard's ability to *maintain* games, that's certainly my issue with Blizz games atm. Riot patches their games twice a month, but in Overwatch we've been stuck with balance issues for months at a time.

  • rizajpeg goblinlobba45 (@rizajpeg) reported

    @thinkingemoji__ why even make overwatch league when you are gonna make a pve-centric sequel IS THAT NOT CONTRADICTORY AS ****? and i know i sound like a broken record but this is why i have said and will continue to say that ow classic needs to be made. it costs zero dollars & zero effort.

  • YTItsTrain_x 𝘾𝙝𝙡𝙤𝙚🏳️‍⚧️ - ItsTrain x🚂 (@YTItsTrain_x) reported

    Idk whats wrong with my obs. This issue of my bitrate randomly tanking with no real reason is bugging me. I'll try the idea I have tomorrow in a test stream. It'll probably be CoD or maybe Overwatch. Idk.

  • Shull_ow Shull (@Shull_ow) reported

    @Shoto_ow I don't care about date I just want Overwatch to stop being on life support, if they could just keep a team of devs that keeps working on Overwatch 1 to give us a little bit of content, and not just new skins for events or a new patch that nerfs broken heroes every 2 months

  • _Tridd Tom Underwood (@_Tridd) reported

    Overwatch Esports fans seem to think they’re the majority demographic of that player base, that’s adorable. The casual audience outnumber and out finance the live service. Give them a PVE mode, content is gonna be good.

  • Umarrii Umarrii (@Umarrii) reported

    @ian9721 Idk, like overwatch 2 looks nuts, but it's worrying that they don't give us anything for current overwatch and don't even acknowledge this problem. For me, no reason to play it this year other than once a week for pugs with friends. Overwatch 1 seems to be over to them.

  • OwReise Reise_OW (@OwReise) reported

    @BlizzardCS DUDE we have the same problem so im trying to play overwatch 2 right? but it wont let me and jeff said there isnt an ETA on that either can you give us a real ******* date seeing on how you arent doing anything to give us real content anyway?

  • BastionRaccoon Bastion Sorel (@BastionRaccoon) reported

    @Flats_OW Honestly, just go play @PaladinsGame if you want tanks and supports that are fun to play. I ******* love Overwatch to death, but good God, the state of the game and community at the moment has killed any drive to sign in lately. Maybe I take paladins less serious and that's why..

  • MilkJugA Milk Jug (@MilkJugA) reported

    @NigmaNoname @Clowncarcrash I like it. They realize they've completely botched competitive overwatch and have no idea how to fix it, so they decided to finally make an actual storyline for their cool characters in a pve format.

  • _Tridd Tom Underwood (@_Tridd) reported

    @Carter_OW Overwatch Esports has issues, of course it does. You want to know what happens when you make a game for the competitive audience? You get Diabotical. You want a game to be supported so you have esports, at all? You need the game to be maintained. Causal players finance that.

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    @Flashx609 @MicDubTV We already have problems of smurfs cheaters and toxicity a lot in Overwatch community. My point is simply this. FTP and cross platform bring more of those. Anyway you don’t have to convince me. It’s good if I’m wrong after all.
