Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pork_ow Pork (@pork_ow) reported

    Its just crazy how @K41OW is accepted into this community after repeatedly crashing overwatch servers @PlayOverwatch pls fix or ban this guy!

  • xFleXy_ Sam (@xFleXy_) reported

    @BigManFloor Treyarch are lowest for me because they're pretty much the Zombies devs at this point. BO3 had the whole Supply Drop issues, BO4 was just a **** Overwatch and we dont talk about CW. BO1 and BO2 were good

  • TotallyMillerTM Miller (@TotallyMillerTM) reported

    @GloriousKev Blizzard are so ******* weird, just like how Overwatch's ultrawide support just makes your FOV significantly smaller than everyone else, the ******* wankers. Meanwhile every other esports game supports it no problem.

  • nounouwu Nouno - ZR (@nounouwu) reported

    @TF2OutofContext Overwatch or soldier is the most broken class?

  • englmichael95 Nokturnus (@englmichael95) reported

    @CSGO Now fix your **** 1. Broken overwatch 2. Unbalanced matches 3. Rank shift 4. Broken dm spawn 5. Broken operator skins 6. Broken dm spawns 7. Outdated server browser 8. Water bug 9. No proper anti cheat 10. No 128 tick There is probably more but thats what i remember

  • Electron1c_ Electronic_ (@Electron1c_) reported

    @Jmanwild87 @ShitpostOnEarth I hate the argument that it was competitive balancing that ruined Overwatch. It didn't. There are so many other bigger external problems surrounding OW that to pick balancing is stupid. You have aesthetic preferences that don't align with Overwatch, not anything else.

  • Celtic_Sniper 🫐🥥 (@Celtic_Sniper) reported

    @oatmilkdruid this sounds quite fake and it made me sad lol. but i think people forget that games like wizard 101 are still being worked on and that even though wow is having some issues lately, it is still incredibly successful. but overwatch is boned because they decided to make a sequel

  • Wretched_Flow WretchedFlow (@Wretched_Flow) reported

    POV the newest thing overwatch gets is a way for hackers to crash servers 💀

  • jmzed_ Jmz 🌅 (@jmzed_) reported

    @kiersgg yeah i need to learn how to disengage and when to do it. i have that problem on overwatch too

  • _Astorant_ 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕 (@_Astorant_) reported

    @EliteVoice_ Hell no man, the Destiny communities problem is they always complain about things even if it’s a positive addition. I’d say SMITE, League, Overwatch and CS have the worst communities by far.

  • TheGameV30 AB (@TheGameV30) reported

    @AskPlayStation I’ve tried multiple times now to move Overwatch from PS5 storage to my external SSD & I keep getting error ce-107552-0. Other games moved fine. Please help. I have 257 GB free on the external SSD.

  • Snake0452 ErikMSPI (@Snake0452) reported

    Remember when Overwatch reorganized their characters in a really ****** way for no reason then made an entire queue system for their broken organization

  • WickedlyCynical Meghan (@WickedlyCynical) reported

    Is overwatch crossplay broken for anyone else or just me?

  • NinjaBRsHS Austin (@NinjaBRsHS) reported

    Unpopular Opinion: personally don’t have to big of a problem with overwatch lack of content, because the game is imo very complex and it takes a long time to figure it out. So whenever I log on, I still have fun.

  • ashplaysthings Ashley Bruno (@ashplaysthings) reported

    I mean honestly, it's been unacceptably long to allow a player to ddos a lobby in Overwatch. I get that dev resources are focused on pushing 2 through milestones, that it's likely a series of complex netcode bugs. But public acknowledgement goes a long way.

  • Mcfairydust1 Mcfairydust (@Mcfairydust1) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I see overwatch has done nothing at all on Smurf accounts. How many years till that problem is fixed. Do you work in relation with that trash company @RavenSoftware or just do nothing like them? They allow hacking you allow smurfing. ******* moves on both parts!

  • artyorwhatevs Nora the chaotic (@artyorwhatevs) reported

    @Kuritsaa1 @heiwanoken @originalmidas_2 God, Overwatch is the most obvious pandering too, they only announce it whenever they're in trouble

  • NeedBuffing INeedToBeBuffed (@NeedBuffing) reported

    @Locar1111 We stay loyal, even to broken games. It's fun and most of the people are tolerable. Overwatch is mostly toxic neckbeards from what I experienced

  • Snowiii95 Snowiii (@Snowiii95) reported

    @ambzsims Origin. To run better you'll need Nraas mods (Overwatch and Error Trap). I also recommend Sims 3 smooth Patch cause is a huge game changer .

  • rabbitcals bunny / hoppy / rabbit (@rabbitcals) reported

    lagging so bad in overwatch I can't even move. so fun. i actually want to have a breakdown

  • CooperKellis Cooper Kellis (@CooperKellis) reported

    @AbdulTheArabGuy @CrashSpyroBanjo You do realize Crash ain't their only franchise right? Like CoD and Overwatch, Y'know, the games they're willing to overlook abuse and condone war crimes to ensure they keep pumping out that lootbox income?

  • dknessfalls Sergio Torres (@dknessfalls) reported

    @Hastyle14 @anna_fugazi @devolore Overwatch did have its problems but Jeff at least explained well why they made the changes they did. With WoW it was "we nerfed xxx class cuz too many ppl preferred it"

  • kai_dolo Winner (@kai_dolo) reported

    @Arikadou I think the biggest issue with overwatch is unrelated to gameplay. There is no incentive to actually play the game. Ignoring the jarring lack of content the “competitive” is the most uncompetitive experience i’ve ever played. Solo queue just quickplay with consequences

  • _IN_DARKNESS_ ✨🧚🏻‍♂️Emily🧚🏻‍♂️✨ (@_IN_DARKNESS_) reported

    Just woke up from a scary detailed dream about playing overwatch. Golly I think I have a problem.

  • ian_muirhead Ian Muirhead (@ian_muirhead) reported

    @ross_moy Live rounds issues and entire Bde went into defensive posture with US F16's doing overwatch. Then when the Northern Alliance stuff started, we were told to pack up and prepare to move the armour to the port in Salalah as we were going into Afghanistan via Lahore in Pakistan.

  • claymorespears Clay not Clayton (@claymorespears) reported

    Overwatch is doing maintenance on Tuesday, which usually means a patch will come the following Thursday. Hopefully at least something to fix the ddos hacks.

  • GigaBoots GigaBoots (@GigaBoots) reported

    Yesterday's post-stream nightmare was the discovery/analysis of the 8KHz mouse causing problems in the new port of Quake & (less so in) Overwatch. Every day's a fresh tech nightmare.

  • Electron1c_ Electronic_ (@Electron1c_) reported

    @Finalblueman @Jmanwild87 @ShitpostOnEarth For every person that enjoyed a broken OG Overwatch ability there were two who hated it. ****** balancing doesn't make games fun, it makes them a mess.

  • FckedLynx El Drexo (@FckedLynx) reported

    @manfordic I think the problem with overwatch was that there was way too many characters imo

  • ammE_FPS Emma (@ammE_FPS) reported

    14k heals in 10 mins, while my zen is doing 10k per 10, but heals are the problem and it's not the fact my winston dva are diving torb/cree and my sombra (why is she sombra against them in the first place) is a support main who swapped off cree. :D overwatch is fun :D
