Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DrSchlacht Oliver Richard (@DrSchlacht) reported

    @JesseBrown Weren't there snipers on overwatch for most of the crowd control operations? Most of the conventional coverage I was watching acknowledged that. The NYT's editorial framing was/is surely the problem.

  • theMoneyFolder moneyfolder: round 3 (@theMoneyFolder) reported

    When I first started playing Overwatch, I placed 2017 SR while not knowing how sensitivity worked. I would randomly turn it it up to like 70 sens becauae i thought "higher = better". I did not fix this issue until I was over level 200. I never dropped below Gold once.

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    @Vstam121 COD, Overwatch, Diablo, Warcraft, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk. You know, the Activision Blizzard games that are BELOVED? None of them are going exclusive. I'm sorry you don't want to believe it.

  • LetMATTPlay Matt (@LetMATTPlay) reported

    It's so frustrating to me that the only competitive game I've really enjoyed grinding out was early Overwatch. Ruined by poor management and the only thing that's come close is TF2 which is way past its prime or Apex which has plenty of its own issues...maybe I'm the problem

  • chaggie_fenboy 🪝PinkyKinky~ (@chaggie_fenboy) reported

    @RoyalKats_ It's like people are unhappy with the concept of the game, some were complaining that abilities are broken and others that the gunplay was unfair. To which I say, ***** go play ******* overwatch or csgo. I'm a hundred percent sure they'd be happy to have you. literal oneheads

  • GMadMan2004 Gayvin (@GMadMan2004) reported

    @CINC_W_Bane I had this problem so many times in Overwatch, except it was my Xbox disconnecting from the WiFi constantly.

  • britcommand0 BritCommando  (@britcommand0) reported

    @maethrilllian I don’t have that problem anymore, I play Halo, Destiny, COD, Overwatch, Titanfall2. That was a problem that I had and for unknown reason, playing Titanfall just helped me. 👍🏻

  • merkked25 Ben Dover (@merkked25) reported

    @AskPlayStation I am trying to play Overwatch with my friends, but when I try to login, it says I need playstation plus. However, I already do have playstation plus and it won't be expiring for another month. Can you help with this?

  • spoon_friendly Cowboy Kai🪴 (@spoon_friendly) reported

    When you guys post fix-it fics lmk #overwatch #reaper

  • CrazyFaceChico m. (@CrazyFaceChico) reported

    @voidwxlker I’m not sure that’s true. I mean Overwatch has 30+ characters and their story telling works out fine in most cases. I think the issue is they don’t release enough lore in general. But considering there’s allegedly a show in the works. That could be why.

  • St_PaddyMad Paddy Brendan O'Halloran (@St_PaddyMad) reported

    I should've gotten Overwatch on the Xbox, it'd be so much easier to deal with. I enjoy PlayStation, no doubt bout it, but the Series X has literally fixed ALL of my issues I had with the Xbox One and I have found a new form of higher appreciation for Xbox and Microsoft.

  • I4mherlover Your Daily Love (@I4mherlover) reported

    if you feel like companies and society is sorta distancing itself from gay culture you're not mistaken. things like the overwatch problem were the catalyst. you can't do those things and then expect companies to back you. You're not longer "safe." do you understand?

  • woke_teen_ebook noahbot (@woke_teen_ebook) reported

    monthly login into Overwatch to say "****"?

  • TheQuestBro Questbro (@TheQuestBro) reported

    @unclebotter I am having all kinds of issues with my GPU. It crashes on some games but not others, mainly FFXIV/Overwatch/A Hat In Time(for some god forsaken reason) and I can't figure out what is wrong. Laptop btw.

  • Cal69Dlive Cal69 Dlive.TV Global Partner #UnicornQueen (@Cal69Dlive) reported

    gonna risk overwatch again... ffs... lets hop we dont crash again or im gonna launch the pc...

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    @MldGhost @NanoPolymath @Xbox That was for Bethesda games. Activision Blizzard was a much, much larger purchase. It's cool with me that they're remaining multiplat, because we're getting Crash 1-4, CTR, Spyro 1-3, every COD, Diablo, Overwatch, maybe even Deadpool, Prototype, and Transformers on Game Pass.

  • spoon_friendly Cowboy Kai🪴 (@spoon_friendly) reported

    The potential Overwatch’s story has is so frustrating and I understand why it’s fandom has experienced so many extinctions. We’ll get nothing for months then be provided with something like this and everyone will be so outraged that they’ll scramble to try and fix it in fanon—

  • DaMulletMaestro MulletMike69 (@DaMulletMaestro) reported

    Overwatch Content Creators: “This game sucks, nerf this. Change this. He/She offended me. Omg this game is UN-playable. Blizzard fix this game!” Me: “How bout you just shut ******** up or go find another game to be good at? What kinda weirdo keeps playing a game they hate?”

  • Tango2Charliee Tarun Verma (@Tango2Charliee) reported

    Please fix overwatch @CSGO @valvesoftware 1- Play after 2 months, **** matchmaking, gets matched against SMFC while being unranked (previously GNM) 2- Get destroyed, 3 kills in 8 rounds. 1 teammate abandons and we surrender. Went afk for 1 round since the opponents too pro.

  • RaviolionLive Raviolion (@RaviolionLive) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can we figure out the voice chat bug please? I am so tired of having to restart the game over and over. I dont even want to get started on how horrible it is when it shuts off mid game... #Overwatch #Broken #Fixit

  • JackMeowison 🚀 Im Not Your Father. 💫 (@JackMeowison) reported

    (3) it just feels lackluster, though I’m still appreciative some loose ends from bastet were *******, there’s still a screaming issue there that I wish we could have answers to. When did Gabriel Reyes fall off the deep end, and what did Overwatch do to cause such hatred?

  • grovyrosegirl The Secretary Friend Who Also Writes Sometimes (@grovyrosegirl) reported

    And then of course, Overwatch comes along and it's the exact. same. thing. It becomes corrupt. It protects the elite. It doesn't solve any of the real problems.

  • sixfeetbelowyou injoya (@sixfeetbelowyou) reported

    @Haider83207270 @PlayOverwatch Then people would just purposely lag out all the time. And overwatch is nearly impossible to win a 5v6 , but on apex you can still do decently well if you lose one. It’s not that difficult to understand.

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    There is so much hype around Overwatch 2, I am excited too, but it can have all the hype in the world and still end up a disappointment because they did not fix the -existing- issues in Overwatch 1, so it's going to be a new game with the same problems.

  • david_kennedy11 Deaf David (@david_kennedy11) reported

    I NEED TO KNOWWW Gabriel hiding out after the fall of Overwatch just in hiding snd Sombra finding him broken and alone, Repeatedly asking for him to help but He claims he’s leaving that life behind and just wants to be left alone

  • jamesperrott1 James Perrott 🍌 (@jamesperrott1) reported

    @HerbieTCG @Stylosa The pandemic is the LEAST of overwatch 2s issues. And what you’re saying is you were bitter too.

    @cow_ghoul overwatch has never actually had any lore is the issue

  • Lazo41749019 Lazo (@Lazo41749019) reported

    @Naito_Shade The problem is that overwatch has had no update for 2 years, almost 3 years. 0 map, 0 heroes. More and more players leave overwatch
