Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ow_loki Loki (@ow_loki) reported

    @SamitoFPS Comp aside, I don’t get this. The Overwatch world doesn’t need to be a perfect haven; we’ve seen that it’s not. Why is it a problem to depict modern design flaws persisting into the future?

  • SamwellStark Goddess Of Mischief (@SamwellStark) reported

    Person: Let me sit here and complain about all of the problems in the Overwatch 2 beta forgetting that it's a beta and it's not going to be perfect

  • MidAirFlarePS5 MidAirFlare (@MidAirFlarePS5) reported

    @PlayStation Or fix your overwatch 2 beta for ps5 issues 🤨

  • YoshStudio Yosh Studio (@YoshStudio) reported

    Overwatch 2 beta is sooo broken so much so id rather ow1 ! @PlayOverwatch

  • NSCSGaming NotSoCommonSense (@NSCSGaming) reported

    My impressions of overwatch 2 are extremely positive. It has many issues and I don't think it'll do well for awhile because of its bad marketing but it's gameplay is top tier I have been playing it an unhealthy amount and I'm still having fun.

  • ChickenOof4 Chicken Oof (@ChickenOof4) reported

    @AskPlayStation when are you guys gonna fix the overwatch watchpoint pack?

  • falcochia chia 🍎 (@falcochia) reported

    i honestly dont know how to feel about Hammond overwatch actually not a feral brain. wtf still.....mfker also broken hearted and **** damn

  • enbysbianology Moira Updates Daily | COMMS OPEN (@enbysbianology) reported

    We as a society should have stopped listening to S*mito when he decided that the biggest problem with Overwatch was a easily avoidable purple orb

  • birbbie REVENANT 👻 @ fika + monochrome (@birbbie) reported

    so idk if anyone else was experiencing this last night but after i installed the overwatch 2 beta then uninstalled, i went back to play normal overwatch and i encountered a bug that doubled my animations and had some severe input lag.

  • ChickenOof4 Chicken Oof (@ChickenOof4) reported

    @AskPlayStation fix the overwatch watchpoint pack please, It’s been so annoying I refunded it and was gonna buy it again and now it says I can’t like what-

  • SnelfReturns Snelf (@SnelfReturns) reported

    @BenefitsBen4 @I_impalfa_I2 Improvements are one thing and I'm glad there are some even if they're tiny. But the facts are that we are just playing Overwatch 1 with a fresh coat of paint, obvious balance problems, poor decisions being stuck with (role lock) and just an overwhelming sense of OW2 being OW1.2

  • Solark42 SolärK (@Solark42) reported

    @B3nd3rISGr3at34 @Samrudd12 @OverwatchCaval All FPS games are the same and overwatch isnt just an fps. My issue is more with the characters kit because no matter how clutch it is, it isnt enjoyable to play an FPS character with a sniper pistol and grenade because thats not new, nor fun.

  • RadiantSwordX Radiant X (零) (@RadiantSwordX) reported

    @BlizzardCS @JesusKunDesu1 You need to fix the PC and Console Pools for Overwatch 2. It is impossible to win because those sPC players are intruding and ruining everything. They were all cheating and they all have zero losses. Completely unacceptable.

  • Samthemanmanmen Breathtaking (@Samthemanmanmen) reported

    @LeHobbitFan It's OK! They increased the *** of a overwatch character They're fixing the wrong of the fixed wrongs they failed to fix!

  • thesamuel17 Samuel (@thesamuel17) reported

    @Yung_Wooloo Overwatch balance decisions is literally just bandaid fixes over bandaid fixes with a side of tape. Truly baffling how little they have done to actually address core issues of the game.

  • NEACETWEETS NEACETWEETS (@NEACETWEETS) reported

    Unpopular take but if games now weren't so team reliant and had more skill expression you'd feel less like complaining about your team and more like working on your obvious errors. Val, Overwatch, LoL and games like it are very polished and patched to keep shrinking the ceiling.

  • Polymer_Wario Polymer (@Polymer_Wario) reported

    Recently got an email to verify myself for the Overwatch 2 Beta from Blizzard, and when the link finally stops displaying 404 errors, I enter my platform as well as region only for nothing to come from it over 24 hours later. Awesome, glad I got picked for it to mean nothing

  • imsohemmotional lina🫀saw louis tomlinson (@imsohemmotional) reported

    @BlizzardCS spent over $100 to get the Overwatch 2 Beta and can’t even the game on PS5, error TE-10313. Any solution to this?

  • c0ya1 S9 c0ya1 (@c0ya1) reported

    @pcgamer Oh wow, that should fix the 2+ years of no content in Overwatch, (lets be honest, Overwatch 2 will be dead in three weeks after launch) Balance issues, and other problems. but but "Hostile architecture" oh please.

  • plagueplaquish You have betrayed the Goof Troop🔞 (@plagueplaquish) reported

    Hey Overwatch I have a fix for your queue times (Get rid of the role limit)

  • LeekingMemory Lord Bashere, Jeskai Windrunner (@LeekingMemory) reported

    @biologicalriley Live Service games are a double edged sword. There are legitimate benefits to competitive games like Apex, Overwatch, and Rainbow 6, because new and rotating content shakes up the game and meta But it's bad for the industry as a whole. It drives predatory practices.

  • Mxyham1 M x y h a m (@Mxyham1) reported

    I play on Xbox series x and play a ton of online shooters with no problems whatsoever but all a sudden only my overwatch and overwatch 2 started stuttering/jittering super badly to the point where it’s unplayable iv tried everything restarting console uninstalling & reinstalling

  • Conzibs conzibs (@Conzibs) reported

    @Joshua7731 @ShiinaBR @FortniteGame What abt people of the same thing about apex, overwatch, even the dream Smp members so there really isn’t a problem to that, but you constantly ask for money even though those scammers are just getting attention off of you

  • GreatSaiywoman Gamewizord (@GreatSaiywoman) reported

    @drifterxexe Same I will ask tho do you think I'm negative all the time I ask because I do take issue with a lot of things like how overwatch is handling things, Xbox's unprfessional messages, Star Wars with how it's handling it's pr and it's shows and when companies censor games.

  • barry_pingle Pingle Barry (@barry_pingle) reported

    @strawberryuwu11 I want overwatch to fix some changes, because I actually like it before and now it's just bleh for me

  • AgreeingBook13 Dude man (@AgreeingBook13) reported

    @scrivonaut It’s crazy how Overwatch had tons of issues that took years for the devs to fix or even acknowledge , but this bench was so OP it killed the game.

  • hermancejeff Jeff Hermance (@hermancejeff) reported

    @PlayOverwatch The same problems from overwatch 1 still persist in ow2 no skill heros dominate heros that actually take skill. The fixes to sombra was only part of the problem she's still incredibly unfair and not fun to play against when she can kill you before you even have time to react

  • SnelfReturns Snelf (@SnelfReturns) reported

    @PuffBros @I_impalfa_I2 Balancing has been an issue with overwatch for f o u r y e a r s, its a joke at this point. You can't defend them and "soon" was what we were told in 2019 when Overwatch 2 was announced.

  • hafizullina30 hafi (@hafizullina30) reported

    @FlipSide208 @haloofthoughts Overwatch MMR corrects itself quickly. It would be a day or two of weird **** but then it would fix. I know people who did really well in ow1 and is very bad in ow2 and vice versa

  • Insanecorn x (@Insanecorn) reported

    @DaddyWarpig Can't they just D. Va ult and deal with the homeless problem in overwatch that way?
