Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GlizzyGrizzlyGG lico (@GlizzyGrizzlyGG) reported

    @HumanThatIsReal Crash Twinsanity, Overwatch 1, and TF2.

  • alphalogger alphalogger (@alphalogger) reported

    Sometimes I hate playing overwatch with every fibre of my being but it keeps forcing me to play it to unlock something or the other, I hate it when live service games do this

  • Neodescartes Jeremiah Brown (@Neodescartes) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce @Chris177uk Okay great, even aspect of ray tracing. The background of video games isn’t the issue, it is the physics of movement, and action of game play. God of War ps 2 vs, is unrealistic. Overwatch, physics looks ugly, in actual fight scenes. Fix that.

  • lazylemurgaming new year same k8 (@lazylemurgaming) reported

    I should not be booting up the sims at 11pm after a day of 15 hours in the car but I simply cannot sleep & the tv in our hotel room is broken so I can’t play overwatch & I don’t feel like playing my switch 🙃

  • AlarsongTTV Alarsong (@AlarsongTTV) reported

    Today's stream is in memoriam of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which tragically got finished last stream. In its memory I will probably play Fortnite and/or Overwatch and blame all my failings on other players or the game instead of acknowledging the skill issue. 5 PM PSTish

  • liennatorr ace (@liennatorr) reported

    @EskayOW Disable Sojourn. Get a fix / rework / nerf. Overwatch 2 is playable again then.

  • islayuflop selene (@islayuflop) reported

    hi youtube this is jason and we’re gonna play some overwatch live stream lets go ahead and queue up “hes trash ratio + L + skill issue + cope + get poopied on kid” HE??? thats not my pronouns ugh cancelled this is going in twitter and tik tok ugh cancelled

  • BeAfraidOfTruth My Truth is Undeniable (@BeAfraidOfTruth) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON @ChrisHarte7 Can see @Microsoft backing away, but you 🤡's thinking this helps PS or whoever are mistaken. Activision is in trouble. All they make is COD & don't innovate because they can't afford to. Gamers essentially lose in this situation. All you will see is Overwatch 2,Diablo 4,and COD.

  • dlasris Cheetos Christ (@dlasris) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent could you possibly fix the overwatch 2 'applying update' issue that has me suspended for a FOURTH time now? Your game sucks now.

  • Mysticalzelda Myst (@Mysticalzelda) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This event made me quit Overwatch 2, it was the final straw. The little amount you care for the game is just sad. I want to like the game but then you make events like this... Sorry. I hope you can fix things so I might return, but I have little faith.

  • SACHM1S SACHM1S (@SACHM1S) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hey! My overwatch 2 career profile got bugged a week or so ago and ever since then my rank has been stuck- Ive had 8 sets of wins now and I havent ranked up or down but was ranking up before the stats were wiped off my page- are the issues related?

  • Corps_De_Blah Oz Deveraux (@Corps_De_Blah) reported

    @ChristalRaine It’s a shame because this issue will recreate itself in another stupid argument later because Overwatch players still think matches should be played 1 way instead of each match being different because of the enemy team makeup. Rez is fine, just play around it.

  • Tra_Royal Mighty Royale (@Tra_Royal) reported

    *Overwatch character doin exactly as their designed to do in their role class* Overwatch Community: O this character is broken and completely overtuned, I hope blizzard nerfs em

  • RFLeXdraws Jerry | ✨ (@RFLeXdraws) reported

    Mercy ain't the problem with overwatch 2

  • Gyoubu72 Gyoubu (@Gyoubu72) reported

    We'll come back to Bungie because they're the ones that made me want to write this all out. The last company I want to look at is Blizzard I paid for overwatch and enjoyed it for the most part but the problem started with them changing the leveling system.

  • kasaichic Kasaii (@kasaichic) reported

    Overwatch really needs to fix its issues. Sad to see the game fall

  • deaddoll66 Deaddoll66 (@deaddoll66) reported

    @Necrit94 And if not that, just try and get to what made League fun in the first place. eSports is always a terrible direction to go towards, and while I have respect for Riot, I really don't want them to fall into the same problems as Overwatch eSports.

  • RiesLainn Ries Lainn 🧪☀ (@RiesLainn) reported

    Stream gonna be delayed a bit. Getting big packet loss spikes in Overwatch. trying to fix it before starting

  • girlfagboydyke robo / ロボ (@girlfagboydyke) reported

    I'm annoyed that i got banned from competitive overwatch because I disconnect on the occasion, I stopped playing for a while because of my network adapter disconnecting me, but I have a new network adapter on Monday, so i figured to play a bit. Disconnected once. Got Comp banned

  • hanaclaps hana banana (@hanaclaps) reported

  • reapertalons24 𓂀 Green Tea {☕ Cult} (@reapertalons24) reported

    @Proto_VI Ever gotten that glitch that increases your token amount if you connected your console account on battlenet and opened that same acc on PC? That glitch used to happen before overwatch 2 release.

  • RikuTheBestYT RikuXPaine (@RikuTheBestYT) reported

    My problem with Overwatch heroes -Roadhog lol 1 shot 10 million hp -Mercy is very strong and annoying -Sojourn got nerfed (buffed) -Orisa got buffed for some reason -Kiriko is broken -Ramattra gets ult way too fast -Widowmaker is a bully Support main btw

  • NateBizzzle Nate Barnard (@NateBizzzle) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent banning me from overwatch for 8 hours because their own glitch kicks me out of the game. Poor software!

  • Luxkage Luxeros🏹♥️ (@Luxkage) reported

    Let’s be honest overwatch will never be truly balanced. And yes there are annoying things to go against, however other games have those issues too. I don’t think Twitter is a healthy platform to have this kind of balance discussion

  • IllusiveHunter Cole “ILUSVHunter” (@IllusiveHunter) reported

    Overwatch twitter is impossible to scroll sometimes when every third tweet is “The game WILL NOT BE FUN until they FIX (insert random *** character) BLIZZ PLS” I’ve seen it with 6 different heroes now LOL

  • ItsSomjuu SoaR Somjuu (@ItsSomjuu) reported

    Why is no one talking about how broken orisa is in overwatch 2 rn💀

  • AtomCatss quincie (@AtomCatss) reported

    @ataltna Pov the overwatch devs respond with “skill issue” when the community asked for sojourn nerfs

  • Cloud_OW Kevin (@Cloud_OW) reported

    minor spelling error i meant overwatch league *

  • KBARLOW77410615 KBARLOW (@KBARLOW77410615) reported

    @AMTTactical @P4v3z @visegrad24 As a thought can the auto loader be taken out? I believe that was the main issue. I guess the MGP would make a reasonable defensive tank for overwatch duties freeing up MBT's for duties elsewhere.

  • SLusheeta Higgins Traquel (@SLusheeta) reported

    @gamer69tm Skill issue. Delete overwatch
