  • ShanWinTheGod ShanTheGod (@ShanWinTheGod) reported

    @klobrille I love how CADE even state that Call of Duty isn't even worth a mention to stop the deal basically. That was all sony were worried about, not Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Diablo, Thps etc just Call of Duty

    IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE CONNECTING TO OVERWATCH 2 SERVERS!! Switch your games region to Europe or Asia. I have bad internet and since the DDOS is on American servers try another region! My friends and I got in QUICK!

    overwatch desenvolveu em mim server issues

  • unk_chunk #1 Blizzard Critic Official ➐ (@unk_chunk) reported

    @B9mOrion @OverwatchNaeri And not including the information that the battlenet integration was the cause of the issue is basically trying to avoid telling the truth to avoid getting roasted by people like me online. @aaronkellerOW is a coward cucklord and a terrible leader for overwatch.

    I don’t know how much longer I can resist the violent urges the overwatch connection issues give me

    Overwatch 2 wouldn't have so many ******* problems if Activision Blizzard made offline modes for the game. Why I think online only gaming sucks

  • Starz_InThe_Sky 𝓖𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓮𝓮 (@Starz_InThe_Sky) reported

    @Watty14768257 Not at all, several people in the Overwatch forum are having the same issue. It's just hilarious because for a good second I thought they had fixed it, my queue was over in like 3 minutes earlier, not anymore...

  • MldGhost GeneralMLD (@MldGhost) reported

    @DialgaMarine817 @DamienGabaldon @nosworc82 Do yourself favor and check all CoD prices on the Xbox/PS store. Even Cod2…CoD 2, is $20. For me: Crash 4, Spyro trilogy, Diablo 2, about a dozen CoD campaigns. Diablo 4, Overwatch campaign. Future games day 1. Gaming more for less $. Whether you accept that or not.

  • Lavender_9043 Macro Space Dragon (@Lavender_9043) reported

    FF players crying with 300 people in front of them in queue in a high traffic server for 15 minutes - cringe Overwatch 2 players waiting 7+ hours for their 40,000 player battle royale to end, right in time for servers to disconnect or you crash mid match. - based af

  • rkhii47 Robert Hughes (@rkhii47) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so great, waited in queue only for it to force me to sign in, the restart the game for changes to take affect…and put me back in last of the queue. Only @Blizzard_Ent

  • Living_Beerus owen davis (@Living_Beerus) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I've had a problem with the voice chat. I can join and hear everyone but the game wont pick up my voice. my headset is set to default on windows and i've tried everything in overwatch i can. I've tried restarting the game and even my whole computer yet it still wont pick me up.

  • Mustyasscrack1 Mustyasscrack (@Mustyasscrack1) reported

    @posie_dbd @PlayOverwatch One platform? It was so bad my PC was ****** playing that game. DBD still has problems to this day. DBD is literally the best example on how never to run a game. Overwatch 2 got ddosed that's an actual problem

  • ImDaTrolla Boi (@ImDaTrolla) reported

    Sad that I have been playing overwatch for years and have been so excited for this game and 30 hours after release all I have gotten is long queues and the same (LC 208) error. I just want to play overwatch 2 @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch

  • lammylamms Lammy 🐑 | Finally in Endwalker baybeee!!! 🌙 (@lammylamms) reported

    Overwatch 2 keeps giving me an error when I try to invite other people to a group. It says “this user is playing another version of overwatch” or something like that :/

  • CeaseCire Cire (@CeaseCire) reported

    @BlizzardCS Quick question if you have the time. If my account merge button on Xbox is not working at the moment, should i wait to play until it does? I don't know if me progressing my account too far without the contents of my Overwatch 1 account will affect that process from happening. Ty!

  • hitty1967 Christian (@hitty1967) reported

  • Rlan2 Ryan Langley (@Rlan2) reported

    Been having a weird issue with Overwatch 2 - Sometimes when I tab back to it, the screen is completely black. Just not showing up. Happened in full screen & windowed mode. Oddly, selecting the screen in OBS, I can see it! What is causing this?

  • HarryThotterFB HarryThotter (@HarryThotterFB) reported

    Day two of trying to play #Overwatch2 … I’m literally playing off of my original #Overwatch disc on Xbone. Finally get in after waiting in queue, and Sojourn and JunkerGirl won’t unlock? They’re supposed to unlock if I sign in during Season 1. Whyyyyy

  • JWthaMajestic Bleu Major (Jordann William Edwards) (@JWthaMajestic) reported

    I was especially looking forward to Overwatch. But they got hit with a DDoS attack, not once, but twice. #Overwatch2 It's sad that I have to wait for a long time...

  • not_inkziii Inkziii (@not_inkziii) reported

  • Promethyus__ Promethyus (@Promethyus__) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Gotta fix the sms phone company issue. I don't want smurfs and I'm glad we're taking actions to prevent them but I have 4 separate friends who want to come to overwatch but can't because their phones are pre paid

  • nanamynx Nanamynx 🧛🏽🍷 (@nanamynx) reported

    @_StormLeads @cney @PlayOverwatch Thanks man I’m just tired bruh it’s hard reminding people of half the stuff overwatch has covered especially when so many people are also spreading false information about the game anyway hopefully they fix the whole server crash error

  • Michael28045389 Michael T (@Michael28045389) reported

    Overwatch 2 say there are 4000 people ahead of me in a queue. Fair enough. The wait is around 15 minutes but the real problem is the lag. I was at 100m/s the whole game.

  • Gay_4_Aliens 🏳️‍🌈Gay_4_Aliens👽 (@Gay_4_Aliens) reported

    An hour of waiting to get into overwatch and then I get the login error 🥲

  • PolaBore Polabore 🐻‍❄ (@PolaBore) reported

    No queue for me today and no server issues. I got 4 hours of uninterrupted Overwatch 2 action and enjoyed every second of it.
