Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Von_o_ Von🍥 (@Von_o_) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can't login to overwatch on ps4 and nintendo switch.

  • GoldnStateOfMnd A literal beanerschnitzel (@GoldnStateOfMnd) reported

    @Charalanahzard Off the top of my head either one of the crash trilogy platinums or the overwatch platinum

  • annwyrdrnk CM (@annwyrdrnk) reported

    @GeorgeMonbiot only a small symptom of this but for fans of video games, free 'Live Service Games' e.g. Pokémon GO, Overwatch 2, Fortnight, Dota, etc...all redefine "player" as "consumer". Where you used to buy a game once (and were a consumer once) now you play the game AS a consumer, forever.

    Not the discord crash while I’m showing friend overwatch cinematics 😒

  • jacobrfischer jacob fischer (@jacobrfischer) reported

    @AskPlayStation I still can’t download overwatch 1 on my ps5 from the watchpoint pack. Is it still broken? It says I’ve already bought it and can no longer add it to cart but still can’t download OW1.

  • goosekidney goose (@goosekidney) reported

    @sleepypizza0 i can not lmao i think i actually first played when it was brand new in 2016 on my crusty laptop but then when my laptop broke, i never redownloaded it and instead played overwatch and only redownloaded about a month ago on a brand new account cause i couldn’t remember my login

  • minion_toby TobyTheMinion (@minion_toby) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Anyone else having trouble with the new watch point pack for Overwatch 2?

  • stargateheaven ロイド 🇬🇧 カクタス先生 61 degrees (@stargateheaven) reported

    @LayZuhXIV @OverwatchNaeri its alright. Overwatch is fully of broken characters.

  • dragantoosh Dragantoosh (@dragantoosh) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix the watchpoint pack on playstation,ive bought it and it's still showing me i can buy it again!Some people can't even download now overwatch 1...

  • Charcharo Charcharo (@Charcharo) reported

    @stupidhoroscope @TheHorseMangler @FPSthetics I played it on release day version 1.000 without patches. The AI didnt get patched at all - it still has some issues, but it is objectively good. Overwatch, blind fire, changing weapons and ammo types for the player or environment -> they did this on Day 0.

  • guy_requiem The Guy Requiem (@guy_requiem) reported

    @JoeBiden hey Joe can you fix the overwatch servers please I really wanna play roadhog

  • Camshaft2003 Camren Hinkle (@Camshaft2003) reported

    @AskPlayStation Are you gonna address the issue with the Overwatch Watchpoint Pack on ps5? I've seen multiple consumers, including myself, pay for the product and still have it available for purchase in their cart.

  • darixzen darix (@darixzen) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN somehow joining quickplay games in overwatch is broken. even joining deatch match games from the queue just hangs.

  • PlatinumKopium zach🗝️ (@PlatinumKopium) reported

    @Capn_Blue2 @Sol_BlueCaptain @KICHIJOJI_199X Nah no way Overwatch made you develop anger issues

  • Blueknight_V2 Blueknight V2.0 (@Blueknight_V2) reported

    So at the moment, there seems to be 1-less active IP under Activision's side of things. Not counting Blizzard projects like Overwatch 2. While not so great news for fans of the Pro-Skater 1 + 2 remakes. It likely gives the teams more time for any Crash or Spyro projects.

  • sathdora Sathdora (@sathdora) reported

    @PlayOverwatch How about the massive cheating issues in Overwatch 1?

  • ReaperNevermore 𝕽𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖓 𝕹𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖊💙🦇🪶 (@ReaperNevermore) reported

    @BlizzardCS some sort of authentication issue happening? I tried logging into Overwatch and it gave me the error BN-115, and now the launcher app is having issues connecting me, my internet connection is fine as i am able to send this tweet, and browse the web just fine.

  • synthz2 Scoutailer88 (@synthz2) reported

    @grokrockradio i just uninstalled overwatch and i was thinking of the problems of the game and those are the ones im thinking honestly.

  • KateMclean99 Cap’n Kat (taylor's version) (@KateMclean99) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting the BN-115 issue on console overwatch and its driving me insane.

  • BR1GHTS1DE_o7 BR1GHTS1DE (@BR1GHTS1DE_o7) reported

    @BlizzardCS there is a genuine issue with people randomly dc-ing from games in overwatch over the past few weeks. this needs to be addressed.

  • dawn_berlitz21 Nathaniel Greene (@dawn_berlitz21) reported

    And the game crashed like 4 more times since I originally posted @UbisoftSupport I seriously think some devs need to be fired as this is flat out bad like gta and overwatch don’t crash this bad

  • AustinTgArts Austin T 🔞 NSFW RAFFLE OPEN! (@AustinTgArts) reported

    I played Minecraft with more than 7 chunks for the first time ever. I played overwatch without lag. I was able to open multiple software all at once. My computer is running smoothly. If I knew it was THIS SIMPLE to make my puter run better I would have done this ages ago!!

  • IamTigax Tigax (@IamTigax) reported

    After some further digging, it turns out alot of people are having issues with buying the overwatch watch point pack on Playstation. Just for those who may not have bought it yet, please be aware that buying the product may not give you access to the overwatch legendary edition

  • Yodonashi_ Emily 🦇 Yodonashi_ (@Yodonashi_) reported

    @HaydenGr3y It's no one person, it's the entire ******* internet any time it's mentioned. And there's never any real critiques. Oh the company is ****** to its employees? So is literally every game company in existence. They don't issue bans enough? Have you ever heard of overwatch?

  • whatchulookina3 👁👁 (@whatchulookina3) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent bro I’m horny for some overwatch. Please. Fix. It.

  • ArieAy207 ArieAy (@ArieAy207) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is it a blizzard issue or a PlayStation issue? The entire game (Overwatch legendary edition) is also completely missing from the PS store.

  • askatiny Lua | ITTO 5 HOURS☆ (@askatiny) reported

    i'm suffering... idk what to do, i wanted to play overwatch but battle net decided to have authentification problems today 🤡

  • Revywastaken Revy (@Revywastaken) reported

    Can't wait to play Overwatch 2 Beta and have it crash my pc every time I close the app oh boy. And if that happens I can just go play Overwatch and have it crash my pc every time I close the game oh boy oh boy.

  • EeveeA EeveeA 🧡 VTUBER (@EeveeA) reported

    Don't get me wrong, I could rant about issues with Overwatch 2 for hours on end, but it's so hard to be succinct on Twitter about the types of issues I have. I'm not really a "doom dumb, pls remove" sorry I actually think through my opinions.

  • TokenMutt22 Tokenmutt🔞 Twitch Affiliate (@TokenMutt22) reported

    Welp killing floor was lagging and freezing for me so I switched to overwatch
