Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    DDoS hit the Overwatch 1 server. Now, it down by Blizzard. Recover it.

  • etololmen22 etololmen22 (@etololmen22) reported

    Anyone else having issues with the watchpoint pack for overwatch 2. Just I didnt get the pass or the credits or the skins XD.

  • DreamsFennec Light Tenko (@DreamsFennec) reported

    Blizzard better release a statement for screwing up potentially 90% of players save file transfers from Overwatch 1 if they dont fix and merge correctly soon💀

  • JacobLo02798012 Jacob Lowe (@JacobLo02798012) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch Hey I was just wondering I got into the game early this morning and when I got in I had purchased the overwatch 2 watchpoint pack before launch but now I don’t have it. Is there a way I can fix this? Or is it a issue that is being addressed on blizzards end?

  • R23_RC R23 (@R23_RC) reported

    Another postponed stream. Man, I did not expect Overwatch 2 to be struck by a DDoS attack. Then again, I also would not expect the game to be better than it's predecessor.

  • peanutbuttr762 marlon (@peanutbuttr762) reported

    @DoubleWit_ simple fix is to not play overwatch 2

  • Neofelis96 Neofelis Diardi (@Neofelis96) reported

    @aaronkellerOW I've played Overwatch 1 since Season 12 and EVERYTHING is gone. The game treats my account as a completely new one. I also have to Unlock heroes and All of my Allstar Skins I bought are gone.... Is there any info about that kind of issues?

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    Second DDoS attack on Overwatch 2. Blizzard should just shut down servers and wait for it to go away. Don't leave people waiting in game while fighting an attack.

  • AstroStardustqt Astro ✨ (@AstroStardustqt) reported

    is overwatch lagging for anyone else / skipping frames on stream or is this just computer being scuffed

  • hamtaro_jin 🐱 moo moo brian⁷ 🏁 (@hamtaro_jin) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so cracked 😭😭😭 it kicked me out like 5 times and I just had a trippy *** graphics lag from joining a game before it ultimately pulled me from the server

  • TrueTopLad Henry Hutchinson (@TrueTopLad) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I was just playing with a friend on Overwatch 2 on PC. They got the watch point pack and they were able to play with overwatch 1 heroes. Whilst I didnt, I loaded up my OW1 disc on XBOX to play and I have to complete challenges to re unlock them again. Please fix.

  • patolinu2 Soutz (@patolinu2) reported

    @Anylove030 The problem of Overwatch are the 2 hrs queue to enter in the game 💀

  • MoonlightsCoven sydney (@MoonlightsCoven) reported

    @BlizzardCS my and my friend can’t group up on EU servers due to “different version of overwatch” but we can group up on Asian servers is this a result of the DDOS or a bug as were both up to date with the updates

  • FelipeA83361211 Nightwolf (@FelipeA83361211) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCS I didn’t get any of my stuff from overwatch 1 as in skin emote and everything else is there a way you can fix this please

  • gluttonooz glut (@gluttonooz) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting the error 'player is in a different version of Overwatch' whenever I'm trying to play with a friend but both of our games have been updated.

  • Shade667 Shade667 (@Shade667) reported

    @NC_KuroRaiden @LETITDIETheGame Yeah Im just dissapointed that the game I was looking forward to playing today isnt playable. This isnt Overwatch 2, no one knows about Let it die so I don't expect a problem like this when the Playstation versions been out for a week.

    keep getting login errors for overwatch 2 what ******** do i do

  • thirstybats Juju BOO!-shock-a (@thirstybats) reported

    Looking at the memes of people complaining about the long queue in Overwatch 2, knowing that when they got to the front, they got an error message and were chucked to the back of the line again. I get to be a grizzled veteran watching hope die in the eyes of new recruits.

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    For every 60,000 people on Overwatch 2, the more traffic there is, so Blizzard is getting DDoS by not expecting that so many people waiting to play.

  • slasherself 🔪🎃 (@slasherself) reported

    @Lialexen @StrikerCreates @PlayOverwatch Ah yes it's a you problem to not own a phone 🙄🤦 ppl who don't own cells do not deserve to play games they already paid for (battlepass pack overwatch 2 or already owned overwatch 1 60$+ game and now cannot even play it and lost all your stuff bc servers shut down forever now)💀

  • EvanVonAmadeus Gorege MJ (@EvanVonAmadeus) reported

    @ihatelaika Hype was too high again and Ddos attacked don't help at all hopefully blizzard fix that soon, for first time in long time people get interesting in overwatch again

  • namelesssskingg ømzz (@namelesssskingg) reported

    @19msa98 @PlayOverwatch @ATVIAssist I never had an old account as I never played overwatch 1. as a new player, I had a new account so maybe that’s why I had no issues

  • xeristrash xeri angy duck (@xeristrash) reported

    i geniuely love overwatch but now with this stupid sms issue guess i’m gonna go play valorant since ow2 is obviously in love with valorant lol

  • Zychonic That one dude (@Zychonic) reported

    Overwatch should really up the punishment for people who disconnect and at least give us a surrender option Waiting 4 minutes for a round to end, 3v5 is awful. No point in playing and we cant leave

  • adnap77 AD7 (@adnap77) reported

    Is anyone else dealing with lag spikes in overwatch 2. I didn't have any issues in overwatch 1 but now with the change it's lagging alot. #Overwatch2

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    Overwatch 2 DDoS means you can't play the game at the expected launch date. Go back to Overwatch 1. Wait, it's also gone.

  • speedyuk1 DemonTruckerUk (@speedyuk1) reported

    @Kephrii I can not even login into overwatch on xbox series x or ps5 keep coming up errors messages
