    Btw, Overwatch is still a great game. That was never the problem. The problem was the lack of updates which led to stale metas. Devs gotta turn that mindset into a grindset.

  • gaerfinn Iris (@gaerfinn) reported

    Some people really think they're roasting the Overwatch devs by pointing out problems in the beta. ***** that's what a beta is for lmao

  • DSjoose Demon'sJOOSE (@DSjoose) reported

    @KingNullBoi1 @DMG100_ A fix for some. An easy solution to this issue appears to be making sure Overwatch is installed, and booting it up. Once open, simply close the game, click the Globe next to Game Version, and change your region to Europe. Then boot up to the start menu again.

  • thatspastapower Ben (@thatspastapower) reported

    was talking to Quinn there other and figured out he to fix overwatch. 1. add licensed characters like fortnight does, like walter white throwing healing **** crystals or tony soprano driving his caddy to break through 2. give monke a sword

  • AntSlime_Fun Terra Universe 👽 (@AntSlime_Fun) reported

    @ItsPeepance i tried it just to see what the hype was about cuz i saw everything blow up about overwatch 2, its pretty much exactly the same as it was, i'd say they killed the original game with the years of no updates because making 2 but it was a trainwreck filled with issues from the start

  • DiaForte_ Jason💙💚 (@DiaForte_) reported

    if you buy enough loot boxes in overwatch 2 maybe the employees will be allowed to go home for the night, think of that as a public service

  • myseglis Myseglis (@myseglis) reported

    Now about Overwatch 2 since I've finally tried it: ngl I feel underwhelmed, it's a bit disappointing, I feel like it's really centered around DPS and they're really strong, almost broken overall.

  • Deathly_Price Deathly Price - Rebuild of the Eva Chronicler (@Deathly_Price) reported

    Bastion looks so broken in Overwatch 2. Tell me now, how the Shield he had in the Beta for the first game was OP?

  • foxbunniee Fox 🦊 (@foxbunniee) reported

    really wanted to stream overwatch 2 beta but having issues with dropping frames - streamlabs says no dropped frames/good bitrate/no issues but the lag is terrible, sad i couldn't stream :(

  • Dat_Lobo_Gaming Inglebert Humperdink (@Dat_Lobo_Gaming) reported

    @SN8WBALL @PlayOverwatch Ok, go to your normal overwatch, click where the game version is, and you can switch it to overwatch 2 beta. I had the same issue myself but they don't specify this anywhere.

  • BritishSharp Sharp British dragon (@BritishSharp) reported

    @JoshGamnChannel This is good tor the games like Spyro and crash? While I had played Overwatch ((why the game is 30 quid for the base game I don’t know…) there still fans of the games. So hope micosoft can care for then?

  • MINIM0Nl Lo⁷ (@MINIM0Nl) reported

    okay i need real advices on this one because nothing is helping. i have a decent wifi (a pretty good one) and overwatch 2 beta is lagging as Hell. as in : i can’t play at all, and thats mad annoying. my graphics are Low asf and i don’t understand why it’s so laggy, pls send help?

  • imranzomg Imran Khan (@imranzomg) reported

    This is an Overwatch launching against more entrenched competitors - several of which are free and have 800-1000 people dedicated around the clock to keeping them updated - and having already broken the trust of a lot of people who felt burned by the last one.

  • Schmallky Schmallky (@Schmallky) reported

    Overwatch 2 so far still hasn't fixed the ongoing problem of people not wanting to play support enough to result in reduced DPS or (sometimes) tank queues.

  • PshyCover Pshy (@PshyCover) reported

    Is overwatch 2 beta down? It keeps getting and error and retrying

  • VoidFather_ VoidFather (@VoidFather_) reported

    why does anyone think overwatch 2 gonna be good or different from the first. the first game was good and the company trashed it with terrible updates, also the same company that was in the spotlight for terrible HR issues a few months ago. goldfish brains or smthn

  • KinjaLee KIПJ△_🔪 (@KinjaLee) reported

    Short version: I played Overwatch 2 so you don't have to. You'll hear a lotta people say it's a totally different experience, or a totally upended, completely new game. It's uhhhh not. It sure is Overwatch though, and that's sorta my main issue with it. Let's get detailed!

  • c0nflagrat0r TheBoiOfToe (@c0nflagrat0r) reported

    Overwatch 2 beta has it’s issues but the real problem is the lack of redesigns in the game.

  • WestonStanley83 Wes (@WestonStanley83) reported

    @OW_ICED If you think overwatch 1 and overwatch 2 are the same game with the same graphics then you are the problem.

  • Jemented Jemented (@Jemented) reported

    alright so, @PlayOverwatch my problems and opinions on Overwatch 2! A thread. I play on an ultrawide 21:9 monitor. The whole game has these really thin black lines on the left and right. Im pretty sure this is unintentional Also, “While you wait” doesnt fit in the box properly.

  • Roymzee roymz (@Roymzee) reported

    Queue times in overwatch 2 are insane for both tanks and dps now, In OW1 it was only for dps. I'm getting 8 min queues on both tank and dps with a fastpass. I thought 5v5 was supposed to fix queue times not make it worse for another role. FIX YOUR GAME BLEEZEER NOOOOOOOOOW

  • Shmolly3 Lukalolly (@Shmolly3) reported

    i’m absolutely loving overwatch 2 so far, but mercy is kinda unplayable with the valkyrie bug. i really hope they fix it soon because apart from that it’s soooo good

  • Sly_Foxx10 🦊SlyFoxx🦊 (@Sly_Foxx10) reported

    So from what I've learn so far for this Overwatch 2 beta. - Orisa = Broken - Cassidy grenade = Broken - Sombra = Still annoying - Lucio = Best Character What have we learned so far? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • whiteguyyaiden durpdez (@whiteguyyaiden) reported

    @StreifelLuke @NyanSox I’m not. I’m complimenting Overwatch 2. It’s a new, better game. They fixed almost all my main issues with OW1, and I like 5v5 more than I expected.

  • VGLover2222 Jason (@VGLover2222) reported

    Why did you turn Overwatch into a scuffed COD?! We liked the game because it wasn’t a brain dead FPS. Fix this now - All support players. @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

  • nickfaye Nick Faye (@nickfaye) reported

    Wanted to go to bed earlier but was having so much fun playing OW2.. was about 45 mins of “OK, this is absolutely my last round” before I logged off.. Tanking is so fun, new maps are great, reworks solved a lot of problems! Great game so far! #Overwatch

  • Cactustwt Cactus🌵 (@Cactustwt) reported

    @My360Suckssss @msmills22 @Doublelift1 OW2 PvP is free if you own OW1 the only thing you get from buying overwatch 2 is basically a story mode essentially the problem is how blizzard have called this overwatch 2 when it’s clearly just an expansion/DLC

  • TransRatPunk 🏳️‍⚧️ Michiru @ FFXIV 6.1 🏳️‍🌈 (@TransRatPunk) reported

    @pcgamer When was someone in Overwatch mot broken?

  • jkjustforporn Hereforart (@jkjustforporn) reported

    @Stewy497 @Rapscallion_Art We can't have nice things because idiots who don't know how it works will just complain that it's broken, hence all of the "fixes" overwatch got.

  • ashycat23 ashy cat! (@ashycat23) reported

    Whenever I play #Overwatch its just 90% me running back from spawn in some variant of really broken beat boxing.
