  • mizliz_ Liz Richardson (@mizliz_) reported

    I'm one of the biggest Overwatch copium huffers out there, but even I'm disappointed with communication about server issues. There has to be a better (and quicker) way to let people know issues are happening than waiting hours for an update on either Twitter account.

    @BlizzardCS I can’t start any overwatch game; I’m getting the message “error starting game, trying again” after trying to enter any game mode after the Oct 13 overwatch update.

  • bfrdsgfd bfrdsgfd (@bfrdsgfd) reported

    Overwatch 2 server issues give me a brain bleed

  • zerojay Jaaaaaayyyyy (@zerojay) reported

    So Overwatch 2 had a patch this morning and the changelist shows tons of fixes. That's great. It's too bad the servers are currently so broken that you either get crazy 200+ms ping times or you are completely unable to join a game at all.
