Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Yoerdius Yoerdius (@Yoerdius) reported

    I would say Overwatch is on the same level of toxicity as League, yet I've had zero problems with voice chat, not a single person so far was toxic in voice.

  • scotty4real Scott Bakalyar (@scotty4real) reported

    @KarQGames I disagree. With the current system, we have people coming back to overwatch 2 who haven’t played since Brig was released and they’re still diamond/masters rank. This problem will persist until literally every single player plays their ~15 games to get their rank. Unfortunate.

  • dimehaven (+18) world's ending, be horny on main (@dimehaven) reported

    @AmberLynneGirl Lol I was referring to the hero in Overwatch 2. He's still removed from Overwatch 2 momentarily because of a bug fix.

  • Its_Fluree 🎃 Its_Spookee 🎃 (@Its_Fluree) reported

    Now that the issues have been fixed, overwatch 2 doesn't suck as much

  • SIR_MagozZ 戦い🫀 (@SIR_MagozZ) reported

    Mercy glitch on overwatch 2 game is so ******* Boring 😴😴

  • SenpaiiBait Cranium (@SenpaiiBait) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm still missing my cosmetics from overwatch 1 on my overwatch 2 account after successfully merging, is this an issue that's still being looked at?

  • ImGetlowe GetLowe (33.3%) (@ImGetlowe) reported

    the amount of leavers or just one sided games on overwatch is a ******* problem.

  • sunshine_dianne jackie𖧵⁷ (@sunshine_dianne) reported

    is anyone else experiencing lag on overwatch 2? I was playing and my teammates kept teleporting 💀🤡

  • TheKennyDubz TheKennyDubz (@TheKennyDubz) reported

    Overwatch players really are funny. A large portion of players always want to say "This team is so sweaty, why are they trying so hard?" like just admit they're better than you. It's literally a skill issue.

  • originallucid Lucid 🦊 (@originallucid) reported

    If anyone at all knows how to fix an issue with overwatch causing CPU max age and screen freezes, please hit up @ttvhellsabels we can’t figure out wtf is wrong with it 😭🫶

  • alocalteamroper Alocalteamroper (@alocalteamroper) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS how about fixing ur ranking system as well as hero fixes? I should have been ranking up for weeks but I’m not fix it dude my god I shouldn’t even be in bronze ur system is ******! 😡 #Overwatch

  • mitchell141202 Mitchell Mcclelland (@mitchell141202) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN apparently even playing Spotify whilst in an overwatch game now crashes the game and doesn’t let you back in. 4th time it’s happened now wtf is wrong with ur game fix it already

  • PatrickDane Patrick Dane (@PatrickDane) reported

    Look, none of these meta-issues were a problem when it was just the press playing Overwatch 2 pre-release. What I'm saying is, Overwatch 2 was best when there were like 30 people rated Bronze to Diamond playing it.

  • Grayvzs Grayvzs (@Grayvzs) reported

    @TheOverwolf @PCGamesN Still can't capture overwatch 2 since the game came out. Any chance you'll fix that?

  • hon1nbo Some wolf hiding in your vault a.k.a. Pup Snow (@hon1nbo) reported

    @CreerJames @FrameworkPuter Overwatch has some issues, but I think it's the Bottles config I'm using, working on it. Next games in my queue: Civ VI Doom (2020) Stray Left 4 Dead 2 Apex Legends (3/3 for now)

  • johnhzjh Arid (@johnhzjh) reported

    @BlizzardCS Did the skin issues ever get resolved, still missing mine from overwatch one

  • rfloufi E.A Respunch not partner (@rfloufi) reported

    @kings2020xz @alphaINTEL It's ok for me if it's like overwatch 2 because apex 1.0 is broken technically and limited and adding new options or features takes ages and when they are released they are half done. It's the only solution

  • greghavenner Gregor ☕️ (@greghavenner) reported

    I can't even talk about games anymore. If I bring up Overwatch it's bla bla bla "it's not really a sequel" bla bla battle pass. If it's Valorant bla bla bla anticheat. CoD bla bla bla servers. Then I bring up Siege's cheating issue and "every game has cheaters." It's horseshit.

  • RickyRexx 🎧RickyRexx🦖 SUBATHON 10/22! (@RickyRexx) reported

    I feel bad for people playing Overwatch 2 ranked. Not cause of the matchmaking issues I keep hearing about… just feel bad for you

  • f_ckwithawitch Esther (@f_ckwithawitch) reported

    Hey overwatch players i just wanna say, IF YOU'RE GONNA PLAY SUPPORT THEN DO YOUR JOB AND HEAL YOUR TEAM AN STOP TRYING TO GET KILLS YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM

  • gamaflight GamaFlight (@gamaflight) reported

    Anyone else dealing with constant server disconnects in Overwatch 2? I’ll randomly DC and it’ll make me login

  • lasconic_ nic-el 🎃 (@lasconic_) reported

    crash test: overwatch 2

  • chvime chime (@chvime) reported

    So i play a game of overwatch and my duos screen is blurry and he cant fix it unless he restarts then he gets the rejoin bug where he cant join back unless i restart since i was group leader i restart and the game forces an update and kicks me. next game i lose connection to -pt1

  • mentally_boomed mentally “underscore” boomed (@mentally_boomed) reported

    @KarQGames The soft reset is what i causing the issues rn tho. Retain mmr from overwatch 1 but throwing ppl into imbalanced lobbies with ppl who have high mmr will convince the system a former diamond player who beat a former gm player needs to be higher. If no mmr was retained the 1/2

  • BleuPynk Dak Prescott's fingy hurt (@BleuPynk) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch 2 has crashed multiple times on me and now I have been banned from comp. Im on Xbox series x and it's the only game that does this. Please fix so I can play your game or give me a refund on the battle pass and I find a game that works

  • alizn06 Ali Nejmeldeen (@alizn06) reported

    @toph91060753 @stratusbayo @EskayOW It isn’t actually a kink. The plat players in GM lobbies have a higher MMR meaning that they were a higher rank in overwatch 1 so they are putting them in equal skill lobbies. It would be an issue if GM players were in plat lobbies

  • ChrisDolphin69 Chris Tarnished One (@ChrisDolphin69) reported

    @charlieINTEL Exactly why I'm going to skip COD until they fix all their bugs and **** and put it on sale In the meantime I'll be in Overwatch 2 that is free lmao

  • mitosuh shelby (@mitosuh) reported

    so like did anyone else have issues with their overwatch 2 account merge or just me

  • arisenstring956 Arisenstring956 (@arisenstring956) reported

    @Myrtlegator @NyanSox my main issue coming from val is that overwatch 2 is even more team reliant as you cant solo tanks or reliably 1v2 but like nobody in solo q wants to coordinate or comm

  • Poolaaaz Poola (@Poolaaaz) reported

    Mental boomed sadge I'm trash and awful and overwatch I can't every be consistent man my confidence is broken ahhhhhh
