  • KixxPup KixxPup (@KixxPup) reported

    @BlizzardCS anytime I join a friend and start a match on overwatch 2 it kicks me back to the start screen and I get an error. I’m on a PS5 is it anything I can do?

  • sansboi17 sans boi (@sansboi17) reported

    Blizzard made the patch last night for overwatch 2 that made it so I only see a Login Error message. Truly the game of all time.

  • JinxViPowder69 Jinx/Powder (@JinxViPowder69) reported

    @derek_graziano @PlayOverwatch They should have kept OW1 servers alive and just let ppl that login into it the option to merge or go onto overwatch 2...this would have greatly reduced the issues with this ****** merge system they have

  • FrangoVitesse Frango Vitesse ⚔️😸🛡️ RexunoFan#1🏎️ 🇲🇽💙💜🇺🇦 (@FrangoVitesse) reported

    @CartmanCongress @PlayOverwatch This guys love stealing, huh? First all your stuff from Overwatch 1 (they say you can merge the account, but looks like rocket science with so many issues they caused), and of course intellectual property cuz #money #money #money

  • yoguirte Gui (@yoguirte) reported

    Hi blizzard overwatch 2 it's giving lc-208 to a lot of players this time. Even those ones that never had this kind of error.

  • xWheelchairDude xWheelchairDude ♿👑 (@xWheelchairDude) reported

    I'm starting to give up on overwatch 2 with all these disconnects and kicks. LC-202, LC-208... just please fix the damn servers 😭 #overwatch2

  • Walter84050272 Walter (@Walter84050272) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ what about the broken ranked system, charecters still being irrelevant despite changes, awful customisation and ingame transaction system, the merging and carrying over off overwatch 1 progress being ******, the horrible queue times and servers and the ****** compet points

  • Giingy9 Ging (@Giingy9) reported

    Bruh why do I get a login error everytime I try signing in to overwatch 2

  • brettarnold5 AP1/Brett (@brettarnold5) reported

    This LC-208 error... Overwatch 2 was working just fine on my PS5 before yesterday's patch. Any news when it will be fixed @BlizzardCS ?

  • VulpineCoronet Julio Rosales (@VulpineCoronet) reported

    Yesterday #Overwatch blocked more than half of the heroes on my account, taking off a lot of playtime on my stats and today I can't access the Game at all. (Xbox) I tried to log in 3 different consoles with the same issue (My wife can log with her account without problems)

  • niphtwing kam (@niphtwing) reported

    overwatch giving me nothing but the lc-208 error on international ******* day is lesbiphobic actually What do they have to say for this 🧐

  • Illumersaltii illum (@Illumersaltii) reported

    forgot to post my thoughts on overwatch 2: It's fun! i enjoy it only when i play with friends because i feel like solo queue would just be not fun to play at all. I think the only problem i have with the game so far is the questionably long queue times but its alright

  • smoothratio The Ratio man (@smoothratio) reported

    Gotta love how I wasn't having the login problem for Overwatch 2 until Blizzard took the game down for maintenance to fix the login problem for Overwatch 2. Now all my friends are playing while I'm stuck and left out. Strongly considering uninstalling and going to a better game

  • QuietPirate11 QuietCthulhu (@QuietPirate11) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I feel they should have kept a few ow1 servers up as a fail safe for the account merge not working. That way they could also let people who had taken a break from overwatch and not known about the account merge being a thing dont lose all their stuff

  • NuttytheDerek NUTTY THE DEREK (@NuttytheDerek) reported

    @PlayOverwatch there's a login in error on switch for overwatch 2.

  • ropedawg_ chris (@ropedawg_) reported

  • ConnectAndChill 🎃𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 🏳️‍⚧️ (@ConnectAndChill) reported

    Is overwatch 2 also not working for anyone else on Xbox or is there just something wrong with mine

  • _CrazyLilOne Miss J👾 (@_CrazyLilOne) reported

    Anybody else having trouble seeing their comp play statistics for overwatch 2?

  • peachyflys peachy (@peachyflys) reported

  • KurtlynnG Kurtlynn G (@KurtlynnG) reported

    @BlizzardCS You guys literally did an update last night and now I can’t login still, if this doesn’t get fixed I want a refund for the 60$ I spent on Overwatch 1 which I can no longer play or a lawsuit cause this is absolutely ridiculous, doesn’t help that no one is answering this issue

  • keknia1 keknia (@keknia1) reported

  • PlatinumWraith Platinum Wraith (@PlatinumWraith) reported

    @iTzHaRoNa @wsmitty10 @DeadByBHVR I mean, I don't play Overwatch but I heard the reports Overwatch 1.5. It couldn't start, you can be too poor to play with phone number requirements, and the DDOS attacks. I'll take DBD over that piece of ****.
