Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • thirstybats Juju BOO!-shock-a (@thirstybats) reported

    Looking at the memes of people complaining about the long queue in Overwatch 2, knowing that when they got to the front, they got an error message and were chucked to the back of the line again. I get to be a grizzled veteran watching hope die in the eyes of new recruits.

  • Yuunnhoe jotchii⁸ (@Yuunnhoe) reported

    feeling bad for the people in NA trying to connect to Overwatch When I didn’t have a problem in Asia 💀

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    DDoS hit the Overwatch 1 server. Now, it down by Blizzard. Recover it.

  • Neofelis96 Neofelis Diardi (@Neofelis96) reported

    @aaronkellerOW I've played Overwatch 1 since Season 12 and EVERYTHING is gone. The game treats my account as a completely new one. I also have to Unlock heroes and All of my Allstar Skins I bought are gone.... Is there any info about that kind of issues?

  • SilbWolf Jae (2x the Fun!) (@SilbWolf) reported

    Everyones dunking on Overwatch 2 but like: - Free but requires phone number, so hopefully no bot problem will come up - Just feels like a big update pack - Pmuch the exact same game but there are people actually online now This is my impression after playing 1 match.

  • peanutbuttr762 marlon (@peanutbuttr762) reported

    @DoubleWit_ simple fix is to not play overwatch 2

  • gamignbtw Epic Gamer Moment (@gamignbtw) reported

    @Alecpheonix07 @yoppki Winston is probably the least broken character in the entirety of overwatch 💀💀

  • R23_RC R23 (@R23_RC) reported

    Another postponed stream. Man, I did not expect Overwatch 2 to be struck by a DDoS attack. Then again, I also would not expect the game to be better than it's predecessor.

  • patolinu2 Soutz (@patolinu2) reported

    @Anylove030 The problem of Overwatch are the 2 hrs queue to enter in the game 💀

  • FelipeA83361211 Nightwolf (@FelipeA83361211) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCS I didn’t get any of my stuff from overwatch 1 as in skin emote and everything else is there a way you can fix this please

  • EvanVonAmadeus Gorege MJ (@EvanVonAmadeus) reported

    @ihatelaika Hype was too high again and Ddos attacked don't help at all hopefully blizzard fix that soon, for first time in long time people get interesting in overwatch again

  • hamtaro_jin 🐱 moo moo brian⁷ 🏁 (@hamtaro_jin) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so cracked 😭😭😭 it kicked me out like 5 times and I just had a trippy *** graphics lag from joining a game before it ultimately pulled me from the server

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    Overwatch 2 DDoS means you can't play the game at the expected launch date. Go back to Overwatch 1. Wait, it's also gone.

  • kennedysclone 🐐 (@kennedysclone) reported

    @Xbox I was playing overwatch 2 and when I went into chat my elite series 2 became completely unresponsive. It wouldn’t turn off or respond to being plugged in or holding the Bluetooth button. The only way I could fix it was by restarting console. Please fix this

  • speedyuk1 DemonTruckerUk (@speedyuk1) reported

    @Kephrii I can not even login into overwatch on xbox series x or ps5 keep coming up errors messages

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    Second DDoS attack on Overwatch 2. Blizzard should just shut down servers and wait for it to go away. Don't leave people waiting in game while fighting an attack.

  • slasherself 🔪🎃 (@slasherself) reported

    @lunaaureli @BrianTLinder Unless mom's on the same plan that's the whole reason why I'm cricket rn is family lol kinda tough but also a funny suggestion not sure what else to do for now maybe find a buddy with another service that is post-paid who isn't playing overwatch? This is ridiculous in my opinion

  • namelesssskingg ømzz (@namelesssskingg) reported

    @19msa98 @PlayOverwatch @ATVIAssist I never had an old account as I never played overwatch 1. as a new player, I had a new account so maybe that’s why I had no issues

  • AstroStardustqt Astro ✨ (@AstroStardustqt) reported

    is overwatch lagging for anyone else / skipping frames on stream or is this just computer being scuffed

  • etololmen22 etololmen22 (@etololmen22) reported

    Anyone else having issues with the watchpoint pack for overwatch 2. Just I didnt get the pass or the credits or the skins XD.

  • GeorgeW95305338 George0428 (@GeorgeW95305338) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent @Xbox cant get into overwatch 2 because of error like everyone else and i paid for the watchpoint pack and just dont have anything that was in it no battle pass no 2000 credits nothing this better be fixed because thats illegal

  • slasherself 🔪🎃 (@slasherself) reported

    @Lialexen @StrikerCreates @PlayOverwatch Ah yes it's a you problem to not own a phone 🙄🤦 ppl who don't own cells do not deserve to play games they already paid for (battlepass pack overwatch 2 or already owned overwatch 1 60$+ game and now cannot even play it and lost all your stuff bc servers shut down forever now)💀

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    For every 60,000 people on Overwatch 2, the more traffic there is, so Blizzard is getting DDoS by not expecting that so many people waiting to play.

  • R23_RC R23 (@R23_RC) reported

    Another postponed stream. Man, I did not expect Overwatch 2 to be struck by a DDoS attack. Then again, I also would not expect the game to be better than it's predecessor.

  • burner38531281 burner (@burner38531281) reported

    @IGN Hey I have a problem I bought the watchpoint pack to get access to the 2nd beta and for the battle pass But today I entered overwatch 2 to see I don't have access to battle pass why's that? Plz need help with this

  • Simbojimbo Simon (@Simbojimbo) reported

    Did Overwatch 2 really get DDoS'd, or do Blizzard just have **** servers? I can't remember a single WoW expansion that didn't have similar problems at launch... 🤔

  • JacobLo02798012 Jacob Lowe (@JacobLo02798012) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch Hey I was just wondering I got into the game early this morning and when I got in I had purchased the overwatch 2 watchpoint pack before launch but now I don’t have it. Is there a way I can fix this? Or is it a issue that is being addressed on blizzards end?

  • DreamsFennec Light Tenko (@DreamsFennec) reported

    Blizzard better release a statement for screwing up potentially 90% of players save file transfers from Overwatch 1 if they dont fix and merge correctly soon💀
