  • briirouge 💀Wicked Octo🎃 (@briirouge) reported

    Looks like I won’t be able to play Overwatch 2 on Nintendo Switch for awhile. @BlizzardCS Since the Halloween update I got a Login LC-208 for three days now and the software keeps closing unexpectedly on

  • ruyuqr ruyuqr (@ruyuqr) reported

    Everyone has that 1 big issue with overwatch...

  • GsmashXCTC CTC Hip Hop #AllLivesMatter (@GsmashXCTC) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I have found a problem with OverWatch 2 on Nintendo switch. Every time I open the game, it gives me the whole "The software was closed because an error occurred" crap. I have not been able to play OverWatch 2 and Nintendo switch since the new update

  • ImSouthy Southy (@ImSouthy) reported

    Overwatch should ad the icon above the head of the player it will show the hero he is playing because some the new skins are getting confusing to tell a difference of what hero they’re. This could solve the problem and allow them to make more cool skins. @PlayOverwatch

  • SoopTeeth squeebo the last🇺🇦 (@SoopTeeth) reported

    @xaviersonline i think team fortress 2 should take the overwatch 2 route, completely re release, fix bugs, better graphics, more content. i think we deserve it after all this time of no updates

  • Film_Connor Connor (@Film_Connor) reported

    @elonmusk Now buy Activision-Blizzard and fix overwatch 2

  • cyburknox bur🎗 (@cyburknox) reported

    Is anyone else’s overwatch lagging so much?

  • Vankisha5757 Vankisha 🇧🇬 (@Vankisha5757) reported

    @MohannadAbuSal7 @zilke_YouTube @SomeoneWhoLeaks On paper it shouldn't be an issue. Wasn't an issue in Fortnite. Wasn't an issue in Overwatch. Then again, we're talking about Respawn here...

  • AlteredAce Ace, The Anxious (@AlteredAce) reported

    I'm in a blank spot of shooters rn. titanfall has been dead, overwatch doesn't feel good rn, and I don't really play D2 for pvp anymore. biggest hit there is titanfall, only shooter that I didn't complain about a single thing other than skill issues, a gem.

  • MinuChuusuke Mischu🐾 vtuber @ ESGS 2022 Day 3 (@MinuChuusuke) reported

    games likes osu, valorant, apex and overwatch has made me realize how much of a difference 60hz has over 144hz. I feel like I'm lagging everytime I play

  • iamryuka リュカロウィン🎃 (@iamryuka) reported

    @BlizzardCS when will you fix Overwatch 2's FPS drops and latency issues and stop blaming users on your forums? It's a game issue, not a PC specs or internet issue. It's tiring, we just wanna play the video game.

  • ScrimpK Skrimp_King (@ScrimpK) reported

    @b0gur I don’t really have a issue with how she is now. Shes more fun to play around with than she was on first overwatch. I say she already got a nerf and that would be the amount of time people cant use there abilities. Idk the original time but it is a lot shorter than last

  • briirouge 💀Wicked Octo🎃 (@briirouge) reported

    Looks like I won’t be able to play Overwatch on Nintendo Switch for awhile. @BlizzardCS Since the Halloween update I had a Login Error LC-208 for three days and now the software closes unexpectedly because of it. I’m not able to get in

  • GamemasterYado Matt 💙💛 (@GamemasterYado) reported

    @charlieINTEL @HykCraft Yeah but you can’t blame people for thinking why this could be the case though. Overwatch 2 - another ActiBlizz game, had horrible server problems at launch. But it seemed like a lot of big name streamers were able to get in no problem.

  • itscrakur Jae (@itscrakur) reported

    Frames before optimizing shaders are normal, after however I cannot get over 60 with constant stutters. My pc is not ancient and I reach my max fps cap of 165 on games like overwatch 2 with absolutely no issue. Tried everything in the book, even potato settings.

  • donczzz Donczzz (@donczzz) reported

    @JWantedL Sojourn is the most broken character in overwatch 2, that railgun needs a nerf

  • Sandles_3199 Sandles_3199 (@Sandles_3199) reported

    @JWantedL Let's all be real here... Bob is obviously the most overpowered hero in all of overwatch, from cosmetics alone his drip could instantly cause the servers to crash and send you back into the 30k queue line. That is why bob is the best overwatch hero imo.

  • branakin 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣 怒り (@branakin) reported

    Overwatch literally got DDOS’d and it still had a better multiplayer launch than MW2

  • Wds_kubo Sebastian (@Wds_kubo) reported

    Overwatch please, instead of trying to push your bundles giving them away with streamers first fix your store prices...

  • VoidHL VoidHL (@VoidHL) reported

    @SamitoFPS If your profile is private in overwatch, you shouldnt be allowed past the login page

  • MischiefsYT Mischief (@MischiefsYT) reported

    @House10Damien Damn you might want to check what game your Overwatch 1 disc boots to. That isn't just a digital issue, it's a consumer rights issue.

  • ABBACCHlO tyIer dw spoilers (@ABBACCHlO) reported

  • admoante 'with ✨️ prosecco ✨️ in it' (@admoante) reported
