    anyone having an infinite login glitch on Overwatch 2?

  • LivingVertX I weld, I detach, I WELD AGAIN (@LivingVertX) reported

    Either randos in Overwatch are just 40 IQ or OW3 has a worse bot problem than Valorant.

  • SenpaiiTurbo Turbo2Wxvy (@SenpaiiTurbo) reported

    @PlayOverwatch tell me how after all the server issues this patch comes out and I finally get the account merge prompt and then after waiting for it to complete and it finally finishing I still don't have my skins I have spent money on overwatch and put so much time into the game all for nothin

  • andywhite677 Andy W (@andywhite677) reported

    @Pretty_Rickyxxx I’ve tried different fixes found online so the issues must be on overwatch side unfortunately:(

  • Oliveefruit Olive (@Oliveefruit) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a well made game with zero server issues. Queuing for a unranked game for 20 mins is tottaly normal wdym??

  • itarumammon 🌸Heather❄️ (@itarumammon) reported

    The most annoying thing about overwatch 2 is not that I couldn’t login for 3 days. It’s that I have to sit here and put all my voice lines and sprays and emotes back on all the characters and it’s taking forever cuz I don’t remember which ones i was using 😭😭

  • allsundayjelly 🍂NicoRobin says DrinkWater🎃 (@allsundayjelly) reported

    @Sv1501st The main thing is to make it separate from 1. Because the business model has changed. They removed the loot boxes (fun) and made it a battlepass (boring). Also idk if 1's code could handle the live service funtionality. But yeah they shoulda called it Overwatch Ultimate.

  • TheDyingDreamer Zeah (@TheDyingDreamer) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @PlayOverwatch PLEASE FIX account migration it’s been spamming the message every time I log on ever since overwatch 1 and my account still won’t merge in overwatch 2 after waiting through 720,000 people in a queue it just won’t work!!

  • CureKrizzly kriz (@CureKrizzly) reported

    Kinda wondering which will crash first between Gundam evolution and Overwatch 2. The latter is more likely to outlast the other but the betting line is otherwise too spicy to ignore

  • NesiVT Nesi 🗝 Key Witch (@NesiVT) reported

    @mochimochiakio i dont play Overwatch, but reading how its Day4 and still tons of issues is def impressive for even BlizzStandards. But they did remove the phone # thing for veteran accounts cause too many issues lmao

  • shan123Tweets shan_123 (@shan123Tweets) reported

    overwatch fixed the problem but now I have been waiting for a game for like 10 min

  • NMGonzalez09 Nicole Gonzalez (@NMGonzalez09) reported

    @BlizzardCS whenever we try to log into overwatch 2 I get error code LC-208. Internet is fine. Paid for the first game. Forced to use second and can’t get in. Help

  • Crumbzology Mark (@Crumbzology) reported

    If you are struggling with quick play queue in Overwatch, play some Arcade. Queue times seem fine there. I think the others are bugged/having server issues.

  • TheRealAJStorm AJ Storm (@TheRealAJStorm) reported

    Man I really hope Overwatch 2 is planning some balance changes after they fully fix server/queue issues. I swear at least 30% of the heroes either need their damage nerfed or need to be able to take more than one hit from even just regular attacks. ****'s broken right now.

  • MRoninTezz Tezz (@MRoninTezz) reported

    Anyone else having problems loading into any type of QP game in Overwatch 2?

  • eikoi11 eiko (@eikoi11) reported

    @undeadsimba @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 replaces the original, so Overwatch 1 doesn't exist anymore, sorry man :/ there are a lot of issues right now so hopefully the phone number thing gets fixed soon

  • xxfr34ky XxFr34ky.xX (@xxfr34ky) reported

    @HighwayFPS Because they don’t get their way. A lot of people wanted Overwatch 2 to be basically the same but it’s not. The game feels so much better the only issues I’m having is like dva and maybe orisa cause they are pretty strong now but if u have a good team it’s not much of an issue

  • A_wayFWI Cookie Monster 🏁 (@A_wayFWI) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent why should I send my phone number to play overwatch 2? yesterday your server was targeted by Ddos and now to secur ly account i should give a bunch of personal detail

  • ToozTV_ Booz (@ToozTV_) reported

    I finally merged my accounts on Overwatch 2 and I didn’t get any of my cosmetics back. @Blizzard_Ent fix your **** omfg

  • KillerQuinnv KillerQuinn (@KillerQuinnv) reported

    Anyone else having issues finding quickplay games? @PlayOverwatch #overwatch #overwatch2

  • AnneTheSeaWitch AAAAAAnnie👻 (@AnneTheSeaWitch) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am unable to connect to overwatch, whenever I login into overwatch it asks me to login again. I've tried all the solutions and nothing works, will there be a fix for this like today?

  • undeadsimba SmØkEy 🇵🇷 (@undeadsimba) reported

    Anyone else still getting log in errors for Overwatch 2?

  • Gameaholic_777 No——AHHH (@Gameaholic_777) reported

    Love that the overwatch 2 servers are “fixed” when really all it did was increase ping by 100% and now I lag so bad I can’t even play the game :)

  • WorthShatter ۟ (@WorthShatter) reported
