Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • lancestein936 Lance Stein (@lancestein936) reported

    Overwatch 2 has a lot of issues that need addressed. But my biggest gripe with it is I really miss 2 cp maps. Those were some of the best in the game and now they have been replaced with robot push and that mode sucks. Bring back 2 cp! @PlayOverwatch

  • RoninOCE Chris 🇺🇦 (@RoninOCE) reported

    Aight. Nvidia overlay is disabled. Overwolf is uninstalled. Let's see if Overwatch continues to crash my PC.

  • ToxicTrashTTV Toxic🎃Trick👻Toxic🦇Treat (@ToxicTrashTTV) reported

    Still don’t have my mic working yet. Tryna ****** fix this **** cause I wanna stream the new act and more overwatch.

  • jilatos 🦇🎃the jiller🎃🦇 (@jilatos) reported

    ok now ebay wants to reopen an issue i literally resolved a month ago like you guys already paid me for this. and it's only been on the overwatch **** that there's problems overwatch likers are ****** and diseased and stupid

  • dulcetbunnie bunnie (@dulcetbunnie) reported

    @MikiSale @Bysc00t @OverwatchNaeri overwatch has zero currency in the battle pass, it takes around 4(?) months to earn enough for one through the weekly coins iirc? and everything so far is paid except the things we’re being given for server issues

  • chef_arlington SC-Chef (@chef_arlington) reported

    Is no one gonna talk about the amount of people disconnecting in overwatch comp games, not leaving just game crashing and server issues 70% of my losses are because of a DC

  • sadlukie The intellect (@sadlukie) reported

    Overwatch 2 has the same issue as Overwatch 1 where im at the mercy of four other Fkcing ret@rds on my Fcking Team

  • DxTrixterz DxTrixterz (@DxTrixterz) reported

    @GarfieldIII2 @PlayApex Other games had no issue adding it such as overwatch and fortnite so why can't Apex. I'm sure other games that have it had to go through the same issues that Apex is supposedly having yet they somehow managed to get it.

  • OtakuDante 💵💬🐂💩🚶‍♂️ (@OtakuDante) reported

    The problem with Overwatch 2 is that the balancing is so heavily tilted towards team support dependency that in most cases there's loss instead of victory due to characters not being able to be self-sufficient.

  • imKlusterFox 🦊Mike🦊 (@imKlusterFox) reported

    @SamitoFPS It's an ongoing problem with Overwatch that they can't seem to fix. It's everybody else's fault every time. I can't seem to get past it.

  • tasteof_rage Rage (@tasteof_rage) reported

    @ImRhinne Idk maybe cuz despite the bad things, people still find enjoyment in playing as you would any video game. Overwatch, apex, valorant, league, all have their own issues inside their games yet people still play them to have fun. Not everyone is a streamer and gets paid for it.

  • PinkKnightVR PinkKnightVR (@PinkKnightVR) reported

    Someone help me my Audio cuts out while playing Overwatch 2. I have no issues watching or playing anything else!

  • andytrbl Andy (@andytrbl) reported

    Yo overwatch can you fix it to where when you get disconnected from a game you’re actually able to get back into a game with out the server keeping you out

  • MeatloafFPS 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐟 ™ (@MeatloafFPS) reported

    @EndersFPS I’m not hating, you truthfully couldn’t tell me that people would choose Gundam over Overwatch, even if they came out a year apart. It’s mostly a skill issue when it comes to the topic. Gundam is fun it’s just not what people want like they did OW, I still play it though.

  • bol_ting BolTingBlazie 🍀 (@bol_ting) reported

    @SkyminSlash I refuse to play overwatch 2 until microsoft can fix blizzard's bullshit

  • SavinTheBees Plathanos 🐝🇩🇴 (@SavinTheBees) reported

    Anyone else have a weird Overwatch glitch when you boot it up it’s flashing like a ******* strobe?

  • ilyk8e k8e 🫶 (@ilyk8e) reported

    i hope with the overwatch insane pricing issue they at least go back and re evaluate skins' rarities. meirry for example should absolutely not be $20, especially with lucio having a $10 skin thats basically the same thing

  • cacabo1a ☾ n (@cacabo1a) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent FIX THE UGLY *** OVERWATCH 2 UI

  • courtplocica courtbutt (@courtplocica) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch I am once again asking when you guys are going to check your tickets for people having issues with Overwatch 2 after this absolutely ridiculous launch you have had because you couldn’t just simply update the first game

  • RyanGilman18 Ryan Gilman (@RyanGilman18) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent address the issues with overwatch its pathetic yall have reddit threads bashing your game bc of constant issues full blown reddit threads bashing yall fix the fkn game

  • Ruthless0033 Kamiya is a ****. (@Ruthless0033) reported

    alright tried Overwatch 2, game is legit worse than league of legends, if you enjoy that **** you go a problem fr one of the worst games I have every played.

  • JordynSarabia Jordyn Sarabia (@JordynSarabia) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hi I just wanted to let the community know that players are getting banned for an entire season just from disconnecting from the internet or servers. I read that the overwatch team doesn't really know about this issue yet, so if not here it is. Please fix this bug

  • 100xClaus Ryan Anderson (@100xClaus) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your **** game (overwatch 2) getting banned after I have a leaver in a competitive game and waiting for the timer to disappear

  • spiritedsora 🐹 | Hammond ✨ (@spiritedsora) reported

    @TheDofflin_ @praetorgeist @OWAnonymous_ because you’re not really being ripped off. literally every single online game does this, no one whines ab it on fort and apex, and apex is B A D with that, and their lootboxes are scams. idk why it’s only a problem when overwatch does it.

  • SammieTek Sammie (@SammieTek) reported

    I dead *** woke up early to play overwatch before I go to work , I think my sanity is broken

  • jjetsjetsjets Hollandaise Sauce. (@jjetsjetsjets) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ If you can't afford $10 then that's probably a bigger problem than just overwatch. But the shop is outrageous. No one can afford that.

  • NoodleToDoodle moooooo (@NoodleToDoodle) reported

    @XboxSupport @BlizzardCS Overwatch 2 still cannot be downloaded on Xbox, I’ve been getting an “installation stopped” error since release and it didn’t get fixed

  • phlebiax Phlebiax (@phlebiax) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey guys, can you fix the problem with 360 Total Security? I got my virusscanner updated to the latest version, and everything else is also up to date. But Overwatch 2 is making my comp freeze, and can do nothing when it happens! Please fix it!

  • ThePeacook Peacook (@ThePeacook) reported

    I'll most likely never play Overwatch again in my life, so it has been a good few thousand hours in that game. If that double whammy is broken, I may try it again, otherwise, goodbye, Overwatch 4

  • damnitburned 🎃👻DamnitburnedTTV👻🎃 (@damnitburned) reported

    @freebroy @whatsaxan @OWAnonymous_ lmao 💀. I'm not even crying about it, I'm just putting it out there because toxicity in overwatch has been a problem since year 1 in OW1. i find the guys behavior childish. like i said I'm getting old so i worry about the wrong people being on the receiving end of this 🤡
