Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AJ_2SO AJ (take it easy!) (@AJ_2SO) reported

    @LucasGates92 I haven't followed overwatch in years but i heard that the server issue is a result of a DDoS attack.

  • Imragequitting1 Sarah (@Imragequitting1) reported

    Was looking forward to overwatch 2 for so long and was so excited to come home and play it but they’re having issues and now I wanna cry

  • ChamplainFankap Champ_r (@ChamplainFankap) reported

    @InfernoOmni Overwatch 2 launching & servers broken already

  • GenDraconis Gen Draconis🇨🇦🔞 (@GenDraconis) reported

    @NecotheSergal lol Gundam Evolution doesn't have this problem although it's based on the server's region. I guess the newest Overwatch Clone won't get overshadowed by OW2 after all lmao

  • goon1shere GoonIsHereVA 🎙🐊 (@goon1shere) reported

    @Mr_Sinister39 @PlayOverwatch The official explanation for everything is that the Overwatch servers are being DDosed and it's causing tons of problems across the board, including cross progression. Though I don't know for sure. I haven't been able to get in to see if I have my items

  • denshivt Denshi (MUSIC COMMS CLOSED) (@denshivt) reported

    I really don't buy that overwatch is getting ddos'd, am i crazy or can they not just change the IPs to the servers, or load balance it across a few servers. It just seems unreal that a multi million dollar company didnt think to put something in place to stop this

  • Toby907 Joshua Maffe (@Toby907) reported

    @PlayOverwatch any idea on a timeframe for when the issues will be resolved? Will I get to play overwatch today?

  • UwTiny TinyUwUpanda (@UwTiny) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I'm still missing all my stuff from overwatch 1, it's not a big problem I guess but I don't wanna grind for my golden gun again

  • phalodingus pha (@phalodingus) reported

    HOW ******** ARE PEOPLE GETTING INTO OVERWATCH 2 IT LITERALLY KEEPS SAYING "connection error" OR WHATEVER??? NO MATTER WHAT i literally wait 10 minutes in queue just for it to log me out im ******* sick of it

  • LyonHart_ Dennis =චᆽච= (@LyonHart_) reported

    Can't login to Overwatch 2 😭😭😭😭😭 I just wanna playyyyyyy

  • Necrodoge 🏳️‍⚧️🎃Necrodoge🎃🏳️‍⚧️ (@Necrodoge) reported

    @somewhatrosy damn i do also see overwatch 2 is trending with "DDoS" so maybe its more then just launch date stuff

  • SirSalt6 SirSalt (@SirSalt6) reported

    20k players ahead of me implies that there are 20k people playing Overwatch. I don't know what's more believable - 20k Overwatch players or a ddos attack. #Overwatch2

  • DarkMU2 Rias Black (@DarkMU2) reported

    I just got a "Client Requested Disconnect" On Overwatch 2, that mean Blizzard has solved the problem and are fixing the servers right now? O.o

  • CaffeineFather The Communal Dad. (Kalcour/Dad) (@CaffeineFather) reported

    Was in the middle of a match, tearing it up as Roadhog...Router gets unplugged in the living room, I disconnect. Now I can't connect to the Overwatch servers. At least I got to look at my Mako skin again.

  • su__cheff Suzy (@su__cheff) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I could not merge my account from overwatch 1 to 2 because I did not own for game for years. Now when I log in, not only do I have to wait hours for queue but when I finally get in I have no progression,heroes,skins or anything. Can you fix this ?

    @BlizzardCS Can we fix Overwatch's servers, please? This is getting ridiculous.

  • ck_tha411 C Koch (@ck_tha411) reported

    @ATVIAssist I cant get a reply from Blizzard. I bought The Founders Pack for Overwatch 2 and cant sign in due to having service through Cricket. How do I get a refund. I cant even play the game now.
