Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OWGrandma Dani ❁ OWGrandma (@OWGrandma) reported

    @hinapriv @Raelyni Yeah I get that you can't for everything. A lot of us rely on Overwatch for example. But there are a lot of good people who actively work on the game BC is live service. So for me that's the biggest difference + Blizzard has some **** people but the company doesn't ACTIVELY FUND

  • BAnvil2022 Butteredanvil1 (@BAnvil2022) reported

    @scining The last time I used streamlabs after it updatedto stream overwatch it went screwy as hell. Never had any problem before that. Maybe that may help 😕

  • Nobody82828 FOFORO he/him (@Nobody82828) reported

    Smarter people than me need to check the Overwatch2 numbers because now that I do NOT have the battlepass 20 XP boost I’m getting more XP I also have more than enough victories for an achievement yet I’m not getting it anyone else noticing this problem #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • realmagicstu MagicStu (@realmagicstu) reported

  • SpiderSeanL Sean Loyson (@SpiderSeanL) reported

    @DEATHBATTLE Knowing how broken Overwatch characters are, I'm saying Sombra

  • UltimateTS64 TS64 (@UltimateTS64) reported

    @AlbionHero @RobbieHaruna @AndreSegers Like I used to play Overwatch on Switch and after playing it on even just PS4, I can't even play Overwatch on Switch as a joke anymore, it's so bad. I also had Crash 4 on Switch and the performance of that port made me stop playing it so much cause I was very let down by it

  • GirlLawnmower Lawnmower Girl | Big Sis Selmor Sandiego (@GirlLawnmower) reported

    Dps & tanks not understanding line of sight and walking into 5 of the opposite team means they end up dead because I can't heal them.... 🙈 But yea its my fault they died. Then they spam chat saying "heal" "heals?" "I need healing" 💀 Frikkin support Overwatch problems...

  • callmecreeps 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 🦇✨ (@callmecreeps) reported

    @SighTaitor sadly rank doesnt equate to skill in overwatch anymore :( if u play enough you can rank up pretty easily - so you were in fact better than those diamonds - comp is just so broken on that game its a mess.

  • StefaniukJustin Justin Stefaniuk (@StefaniukJustin) reported

    @majornelson Since Overwatch is owned by Activision Blizzard, why not collab with two of their properties in Crash and Spyro? Skins based on those two iconic characters would do well #XboxFreeCodeFriday

  • ArchiePog_ Archie 👻 (@ArchiePog_) reported

    im about to completely quit overwatch if you dont fix challenges counting @PlayOverwatch

  • DaytimeCoder David Clyde (@DaytimeCoder) reported

    @morbidarne2007 @olson_dan Although the scope of the game is different, and that is important, I worked on Overwatch from ideation through patch 52ish so I have an idea the problems of a live service game. Still unfortunate a build system going down is so severe for them, but sometimes that is how it is.

  • DezElfVT Dez the Dark Elf Vtuber🧝🏽 (@DezElfVT) reported

    Also are the OverWatch servers just not working I've been sitting on the finding game page for arcade for almost 7 minutes

  • TornTops Buh Wuh? (@TornTops) reported

    If you all are going to attack people over the new HP Lovecraft I suggest you stop playing overwatch too. Way to tackle the big issues guys.

    @TSM_NRG overwatch ranked and apex comp for me until they take their finger out of their arse and hardware / ip ban fry their pcs these demented cheating retarded bozos literally add a working ddos protection and remove it they aren't real people

  • YTstreamermemer streamer memer (@YTstreamermemer) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog You don’t want to shun the work the Overwatch devs did but have no problem doing that for all the people who worked on HL? Rowling is already damn near a billionaire, there is literally nothing that buying the game enables her to do that she didn’t already have the funds for

  • niXcraft97 niXcraft (@niXcraft97) reported

    @battlenet can I talk to a human please? I keep getting error code lc-202 when playing overwatch. My account is fully verified and connected with my Xbox live but won’t work. Is my only solution really disconnecting my account and waiting a year to play the game?

  • LastLinkTitan Link (@LastLinkTitan) reported

    @SaiyanGWerewolf FIFA is a corrupt *** organization with numerous issues and Overwatch is run by Activision/Blizzard which have a long track record of abuse towards certain employees. And yet you support them monetarily? Scum.

  • real_catto catto (@real_catto) reported

    @TheDirttyRatt @sseemour @axel__tv Thing is not really a good way to make money in overwatch since u cant rmt and ive never heard of overwatch have a cheating problem cuz theres really no point in cheating in ow other than to boost ur own ego but cheaters actually benefit from cheating in a game like tarkov

  • alexandertyler GamER MD (@alexandertyler) reported

    @FreshGalaxy I just want to know what the concessions are! I think COD in perpetuity, not just 10 years. Probably same for Overwatch and Diablo. The issue is, will these titles be on GamePass. I think that’s what Sony doesn’t want. Possible to add to Sony’s online service to make the deal?

  • RubenSargasm RubenSargasm (@RubenSargasm) reported

    The only mentality to live by in Overwatch: It is never your fault. Your teammates are dogshit, the system is forcing 50/50 on you, you played perfectly, and if you ever take accountability for anything going wrong, you have now become the problem. Now go win all your games.

  • callmelament Frog (@callmelament) reported

    @BungieHelp In Light Fall, I think much of the community would love to see action taken against Cronus/Xim players. This is a huge problem in a lot of competitive games today (Destiny 2, R6, Overwatch 2, etc.) R6 has actually started to ban these players because it’s a form of cheating.

  • duckumentaries duck (@duckumentaries) reported

    so mad. i bought the overwatch season 3 starter pack where i got the key chain and the mercy skin but for some reason it didn't give me the overwatch coins even though it says i own them. is any one else having this problem? @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • ObviousThrower give me my missing rewards (@ObviousThrower) reported

    @PlayOverwatch So how about we stop playing overwatch until they fix it and add back lfg because some of stuff you guys are letting them get away with is crazy, I feel like I’m the only sane person here since I haven’t spent a dime on overwatch 2 since season 1 cuz their actively ripping me off

  • LukeTheJonin Luke (@LukeTheJonin) reported

    (1/7) This is an issue with Overwatch 2 since launch that I haven’t said my thought on til now One shots are inherently unhealthy for the game, the amount of times that a Widowmaker or Hanzo has seen a single pixel of hair on my character is unreal, so Ima make a thread of ideas

  • haechzones min ෆ⸒⸒ (@haechzones) reported
