  • Fushigeek Nanami Fushigi@ロボット工房🤖 (@Fushigeek) reported

    @MezamePlays Black screen defo sounds like gpu issue. Try drivers if not just RMA the whole card, overwatch used to crash for me last time also. Turns out the card was kind of faulty and I got a replacement

  • salloom91 Sulaiman Alammar 👨🏻‍💻 (@salloom91) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hi, I’m having consistent lagging and delay in Overwatch on PS4 even though latency and IND are showing normal numbers (20-29 ms)

  • SirbonesalotDp Fallen Knight (@SirbonesalotDp) reported

    @PlayStation Is anyone else having an issue with playing PS5 and PS4 at the same time? I currently playing Immortal Fenyx got annoyed and switch to PS4 for some overwatch while I cool down. As soon as I open overwatch on PS4 it close my game on PS5 This was never an issue before

  • GhostLean GhostLean (@GhostLean) reported

    @BigJoeySlaps Now wish for them fixing bots sending custom text when they disconnect from a server. And maybe an overwatch system unless you think thats a little bit too much

  • 47H1tman H1tman-47 (@47H1tman) reported

    @itsJpwnz @cTmCSGO @CSGO also not to mention the whole sparkles saga with overwatch and how cheaters control overwatch its kinda iffy you know.there are so many issues and valve is removing bots like thats helping anything.

  • JoeyIsThrowing Joey (@JoeyIsThrowing) reported

    @ta1yo_tv you could try setting overwatch to realtime priority in task manager, it's in the details tab and just sort by memory, but this is a temporary fix and you would need to do this everytime you launch the game

  • QuotesOfFreeman Best Gordon Freeman Quotes (@QuotesOfFreeman) reported

    'I've discovered a new glitch with the physics engine which allows me to vaporize with this Overwatch' - Gordon Freeman, Half Life 2: Downfall (2017)

  • Lucio__txt AKA best Lúcio (@Lucio__txt) reported

    @AzahoudiT If Overwatch is proof of anything it's that the world /doesn't/ handle it's own problems. When I was seeing my city be reduced to rubble, the only people that came to our aid was Overwatch. We help people here. We save lives. I couldn't give less of a **** about anything else.

  • MezamePlays Uncle Mez 🇸🇬 (@MezamePlays) reported

    Trying to figure out why I can’t run Valorant, Overwatch and League of Legends on my rig. Games either won’t start or crash midway while streaming :(

  • banditbaylee baylee (@banditbaylee) reported

  • gIassfrog lu (@gIassfrog) reported

    obviously i dont have an issue with her being trans like if thats how you headcanon her but it just feels like playing into stereotypes? like when people used to say zarya from overwatch was a ******* just bc of the way she looks

  • friskytartart 🔞 Octane brainrot (@friskytartart) reported

    @TheKittleKat omg didn't know Apex had that problem too, it's the same under all of Overwatch's posts 😬 i'm on board w/ this idea lol

  • m1loNN m1loN (@m1loNN) reported

    as soon as replay thing (POV) will be in the game why not to make something similar to cs go overwatch in siege to reduce cheaters problem @Rainbow6Game

  • PowerBttmYonce Samwise (NOT H00K3RY0NC3) (@PowerBttmYonce) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi! I can’t send whispers on Overwatch playing on server EU keeps saying internal problem after ever whisper I’m sending

  • jenjen1936 John Sansbury (@jenjen1936) reported

    @psprices_de There’s an error on Overwatch on your site for me, it says it’s on sale. But when i go to my ps store it’s the regular price. And only on the US store where it’s on sale. I tried UK ps store as well, where it’s not on sale as well #psprices

  • AzahoudiT TABAK. (@AzahoudiT) reported

    @Lucio__txt [ She gives him a dry look. ] And when my city *was* reduced to rubble, there was no Overwatch. We suffered and prevailed. Some died, is just nature of thing. Cannot fight death. Overwatch make little problem into big problem.

  • SirbonesalotDp Fallen Knight (@SirbonesalotDp) reported

    Is anyone else having an issue with playing PS5 and PS4 at the same time? I currently playing Immortal Fenyx got annoyed and switch to PS4 for some overwatch while I cool down. As soon as I open overwatch on PS4 it close my game on PS5 This was never an issue before @PlayStation

  • stackoverflo_ kyler1 (@stackoverflo_) reported

    @heyitsandre_4 I look at all the fan service, lore, and content Riot puts out for league and I tell myself I'm not jealous, that I don't need it. But deep down I wish Overwatch did it

  • RickColossus Code: RickColossus #ad (@RickColossus) reported

  • Solaron93 Sol~ (@Solaron93) reported

    @BlizzardCS Keep getting the error "502 error" when trying to post to your Overwatch forums. HTTP 502 error = Bad Gateway. Something is messing up with your forums hosting or network.

  • SineadCroft1 SineadCroft 🔮🏹 (@SineadCroft1) reported

    Okay, so it looks like it's an Overwatch issue 🙄 Looks like I'm studying for the rest of the day lmao

  • StokerActual The Spad (@StokerActual) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ To fix the current overwatch its going to take resources, resources that could be used in 2, my prediction is they are going to release 2 along side a bunch of core gameplay changes related to the CC mechanics.

  • imkitsuki Kitsuki_KZ (@imkitsuki) reported

    eye twitching for days had to sleep 15 hours to fix dont play overwatch its bad for you

  • PringleLing Sam Ling (SteelSoldier7x) (@PringleLing) reported

    @CodyRees10 @BlizzardCS I have scrolled for ten minutes in hopes of someone else who had this issue. Pop the disc in and it tells me to insert disc. I uninstalled and cannot reinstall now so super upset! All of my other disc spin up but not Overwatch, even tried my housemates copy and that doesn't work
