Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PVPX_ C9 PVPX (@PVPX_) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex If Overwatch didn't create Brig this would never have been a problem

  • RazrD__ RazrD (@RazrD__) reported

    @holiwhirl Overwatch still has issues a year and a half post update so dont worry about it👍

  • PheonixxFoxx Pheonixx Foxx (@PheonixxFoxx) reported

    @Seknathemonk It varies, I can log on for maybe 5-10 mins and then get DC'd. Other times, I log in and it is instant. Apparently, there is a DC issue going on for Overwatch players. I'm installing Hearthstone to see if the issue persists.

  • Sylon_v13 Sylon 🤖 (@Sylon_v13) reported

    @FrankLi I've got the same issue with overwatch which uses AWS servers, if riot use AWS I would say it's the same issue, routing through a particular exchange in sydney, im in the process of trying to "prove" it so nbn co will look at fixing it

  • itsFatTony TheRealFatTony (@itsFatTony) reported

    @EX_Rampage2 Everything is up to date. Bit rate is at 4000. Have no problem streamin cod or overwatch like you said, but apex spikes my cpu haarrrrdddd and makes it unwatchable/playable. It runs fine on highest setting when not streaming.

  • BraiselCoanel 🐸Branton🐸 (@BraiselCoanel) reported

    So glad I didn’t leave for Apex, Overwatch may be dogshit but at least we can login

  • sn0w_official Sn0wOfficial (@sn0w_official) reported

    @DanielleTheEgg @EskayOW Damn, true. I remember seeing comments a while back that stated the same for Jardio. He would try to stream other games but he would get a fraction of the views so he came back to overwatch to get them back while having those mental issues he has.

  • ELDRXTCHDARK ┊𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝑬𝑫𝑮𝑬 𝐈𝐒 𝕮𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 (@ELDRXTCHDARK) reported

    @ferrumsanguis //I have broken my chains so overwatch no longer shackles me

  • AshHornsbyy Ash Hornsby (@AshHornsbyy) reported

    @BlizzardCS currently experiencing connection issues on overwatch, Disconnected lost connection to game servers error code LC-202

  • SHOCKlNGRESOLVE ╰ 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐒𝐎𝐍 ˵ . 𓂅 (@SHOCKlNGRESOLVE) reported

    // anyways, overwatch verse wack as ****. Time to be hella active here until i crash

  • vusjibin Andy 🇵🇷 (@vusjibin) reported

    @ScoutTheChief @yoracrab Hard disagree. Activision Blizzard is awful but there's been no evidence that the actual Overwatch team is involved in any such things, in fact they have some to the contrary to ex employees saying they never had problems

  • Zaxsin Zaxsin (@Zaxsin) reported

    @VoiceoverPete I actually liked going over to my friends house to play Overwatch when it first came out. Before everyone had their counters, and every ult felt so broken. Good times

  • tyron_p1 Tyron (@tyron_p1) reported

    @LuluLuvely Just play overwatch, it's a good break while apex is broken.

  • coaIburner delaney (@coaIburner) reported

    @basiltuesday 90% of overwatch league teams are named like Shock, Uprising, Defiant, Mayhem, and while the names themselves are kinda bad the plurality is never an issue

  • ryannnnnnnnn52 ً (@ryannnnnnnnn52) reported

    @Loot_bxtes @Bropane1 @dafran The tramp literally got with another overwatch pro a week after breaking up with him. Instead of dealing with the situation legally, she cries on Twitter and uses mental issues for sympathy for her childish grudge that won't go anywhere

  • willsimp4tacos willsimp4tacos (@willsimp4tacos) reported

    @lowkeydbjosh once those issues are solved what are you going to do about all the other issues? You know, the ones created by you and your "dev" team, aka devolve team, aka glorified overwatch shills.

  • ComeUpZan ComeUpZan (@ComeUpZan) reported

    Genshin or overwatch stream while I wait for 2k and apex to fix their servers 😬

  • CaptainBlitz_ Blitz💙(Commissions open!) (@CaptainBlitz_) reported

    @SnowyNowak The Overwatch team works for Blizz and can't make decisions without their go-ahead, but is still a separate team and most of Blizzard's issues never came from them. Sorry not sorry.

  • PheonixxFoxx Pheonixx Foxx (@PheonixxFoxx) reported

    @Esealia That will be a last resort, but I am also getting DC'd from Classic and Burning Crusade. As a test, I'm installing Hearthstone to see if the issue persists. There is a DC issue going on for Overwatch players.

  • GeneralGuardian Kiryu Kazuma (@GeneralGuardian) reported

    HEY @Blizzard_Ent REMOVE OR FIX OVERWATCH PVP!!!!! FIX BUGS GLITCHES HEROES A TON OF STUFF NEEDS FIXED! GAME ISN'T FUN ANYMORE

  • shayfax olivia (@shayfax) reported

    i really want to play Overwatch but also at the same time i really don’t want to play Overwatch, do you see the problem here

  • taylorbinx ᴏʀɢᴀɴɪᴄ ʟɪғᴇғᴏʀᴍ (@taylorbinx) reported

    Overwatch is so ******* broken, my team lost the first team fight on King's Row and someone simply quit and the entire match was cancelled

  • Anherofail Anhero (@Anherofail) reported

    @Custa Break more what was broken, the op ability that requires no skills and if you miss don't have to cool down now is permanent. Bye bye Overwatch.

  • Taru099 𝙏𝙖𝙧𝙪 (@Taru099) reported

    @Felfirelol @chaseshaco avoiding teammates is x10 more exploitable than overwatch system, and smurf is a problem in the first place because the ranking system is retarded bad and incentivates people to go fresh acc for +28 gains, dont hate the player hate the game

  • CaffeNeverDies CaffeNeverDies (@CaffeNeverDies) reported

    @sultansofpa @IWDominateLoL With d+ then it would work. The bigger the player base for the "Overwatch" the harder it is. Obviously down the line it would probably be in some way broken like in csgo but it would work

  • junkbrain_ Laura (@junkbrain_) reported

    these ****** Apex servers made me start up overwatch again, it's serious, pls fix :(

  • dvaRetard23 REFORMED (@dvaRetard23) reported

    will be changing my horrible ways and apologizing to everyone I've affected (except for one person) my team and i are sorry for any problems we have caused in console masters overwatch.

  • FancyDelphine Adam (@FancyDelphine) reported

    Overwatch is dead. Apex is broken. Halos still not out. Wtf do i do?

  • Veilynne Veilynne (@Veilynne) reported

    When are game devs gonna make something that ACTUALLY competes with Overwatch because you can point out all the ship jumpers, all the issue, all the zero content but at the end of the day, there's still nothing like it. Where's the competition man?

  • cryptid_anomaly spaceCryptid (@cryptid_anomaly) reported

    Oof actually I'm having some trouble getting the game up and running. Maybe some overwatch? #overwatch #smallstreamer
