Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ParkerBurdash Sir Derpy (@ParkerBurdash) reported

    @chrafllol @OWAnonymous_ I’m just sayin they’re playing into the same “spend money to get this” thing instead of even the option to earn it without money. There’s a lot that made Overwatch so unique and now it feels like exactly, every other ftp live service game

  • _ThunderBuddy29 ThunderBuddy29 (@_ThunderBuddy29) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can someone help me? None of my stuff from Overwatch 1 merged even though I’ve already had a battlenet account for over 2 years now. I press the account merge button on Overwatch 2 and it doesn’t do anything either. I know I’m not the only one going through this issue.

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @JasonKe27496216 @FroggerOW The sms is supposed to prevent hackers and cheaters if hackers can still ddos the game regardless then sms shouldn’t even be a thing all it does is block some fans who had overwatch since day one from playing the game they obviously didn’t think this through

  • LeaksOverwatch Overwatch News & Leaks | Overwatch 2 (@LeaksOverwatch) reported

    Overwatch‘s infrastructure is overloaded. The devs are on it. Most problems should get fixed within this week.

  • Umbobble1 Umbobble (@Umbobble1) reported

    Overwatch 2 has been bad so far. I hope that they fix all of the bugs

  • KeepingItRealz King Darius The Great (@KeepingItRealz) reported

    Not only can you disconnect from overwatch; some of the stats don’t always count such as wins. Which is cool but not really because in order to play comp you need to get 50 wins.

  • crashburn56 Andy R (@crashburn56) reported

    Got into @PlayOverwatch for a while 5 mins before sever issue. And saw all my skins from Overwatch 1 were gone and all the heros were locked. Hopefully it’s just a bug for #overwatch2 and not a permanent thing #Overwatch2down #overwatchbugs

  • Knightingale000 JustinG (@Knightingale000) reported

    @forestminish It's practically a similar issue with Diablo Immortal. So many people bashed the game and company during the announcement,now it's making millions of dollars a day with over millions of daily users. The same will eventually happen again with Overwatch 2 without second thoughts.

  • Weenie_Sandwich Caramel Coated Tootsies (@Weenie_Sandwich) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your ******* game. Just got it downloaded and I’ve been in the queue for about 25 minutes. Signed up for your stupid account, it told me to reopen the game and I’m back in the ******* queue. Yay overwatch 2🙄

  • SoupTime6383739 John (@SoupTime6383739) reported

    Imagine being that guy that DDoS the overwatch servers

  • Syzber 𝐒𝐲𝐳 | Jakob (@Syzber) reported

  • sparksandspIash lara (@sparksandspIash) reported

    I didn‘t get to play overwatch at all last night bc of server issues can we manifest them working this afternoon? 😔

  • TimeAndSpace_42 TeensierKitty42 (@TimeAndSpace_42) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Man I literally can't play unless I move to a contract carrier for my cell phone service provider Any plans on fixing this or is overwatch just a brick now

  • TheJimBus jimmy kane (@TheJimBus) reported

    @Shott_z @leanloversinc @MrTLexify Idk man overwatch 2 is just broken

  • Lisa74871806 Lisa (@Lisa74871806) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I was able to merge and get my ow1 stuff back, but i am still missing the content from the Overwatch Watchpoint Pack i have not received anything on ps4 and Playstation said that i do have it and i should have gotten the contents. Please fix soon! 🥺

  • ZarinaWolfe Zarina Wolfe (@ZarinaWolfe) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Pls tell us if you’re going to fix the issue so the original players of Overwatch can actually get their hard earned cosmetics and account levels

  • _mathc Math (@_mathc) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch @PlayStation I bought Overwatch 2: Watchpoint Pack (06/25/2022) to receive the beta version, and now that the game released, I didn’t receive any content from the pack, and I read about other people having the same problem. What should I do?

  • paulsworkintwit Paul "Big Man" Henderson (@paulsworkintwit) reported

    my biggest problem in overwatch unfortunately continues to be "tank going insanely aggro and dying" syndrome

  • KhaiLeonard Khai Nguyen (@KhaiLeonard) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    Bro All of my stuff is gone and the queue for the account transfer is broken Bffr #Overwatch

  • BraydonKoball Braydon Koball (@BraydonKoball) reported

    Overwatch 2 may be the worst launch ever. Constantly in a queue once you are out of it makes you login again and then queue again.#Overwatch2servers

  • shookque Shookque (@shookque) reported

    @BlizzardCS I haven’t been able to even get the main menu of overwatch 2 i’ve been stuck in the queue and errors 😭😭 what’s going on

  • DamianSuttonArt Damian - Art & Illustration (@DamianSuttonArt) reported

    The voice lines in #overwatch2 are as weak as this updated version of the game is. Rule 1: If it's not broken, don't fix it. Rip overwatch

  • thatkidBanno Banno (@thatkidBanno) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please remove the sms protect, i have never played overwatch before and i was encouraged to play the "free to play" one but i have a prepaid phone so i can't even play the game at all. Please fix for us new players.

  • SeanMip Sean (@SeanMip) reported

    Playing Overwatch 2 made me realize why I stopped playing the original Overwatch. It’s too sweaty for me. Go ahead. Tell me it’s a skill issue, and that I’m ****. I’ll wait. No no, I got time. Just tell me. Uh huh? What I thought. Keep your ****** responses to yourself.

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @JasonKe27496216 @FroggerOW I don’t think u realize how many people who had overwatch day one can’t play cause of their phone plan millions of people but hopefully that update actually fixes this cause a lot of people with common sense understand what the problem was

  • ThatBoiBlunty Gregory Bahamas 🕊 (@ThatBoiBlunty) reported

    Overwatch 1.5 has been out 24 hours now and the servers have already been ddos’d twice already. If your planning on going free to play at least upgrade your servers lol.

  • burnvivi 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 📸 (@burnvivi) reported

    am i the only one who has yet to get into overwatch like everytime theres a server error

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @JasonKe27496216 @FroggerOW I thought it through if it doesn’t stop all hackers there’s no point they wasn’t even a problem in overwatch 1 played it since it came out never ran into any

  • illomenking 🌻💙💛 (@illomenking) reported

    The amount of disappointment of waiting in que for almost 30-40 minutes only to have an error message pop up is overwhelming. I'm about to ******* give up on this ****. Thanks overwatch :)

  • NightAndShai SHAI (@NightAndShai) reported

    I would like to kindly request a fix to a LC-208 error that is appearing when I try to log in to Overwatch 2 from my PlayStation 5. Please tell me if there’s anything I can do to allow me to play the game as I have loved and played this game since season 3. Thank you @BlizzardCS
