  • Bradymags1213 BADDIEE Magrathh (@Bradymags1213) reported

    Overwatch 2 has been put for an hour and a half and its already a queue simulation. I wasnt gonna complain but I got in played a few games just for it to crash on 2 seperate occasions. Did they not think the servers were gonna get mobbed?

  • CraigAMunn Crayg 🏳️‍🌈 (@CraigAMunn) reported

    This Overwatch 2 launch is a disaster. The original worked fine, how are there this many problems?!

  • froggymulti froggy multi 🌅 (@froggymulti) reported

    @dripface88 @Blizzard_Ent when your entire family is under the same plan it is an issue. Most of my friends are going to be playing overwatch as well and I am not going to ask random friends for their phone numbers to use.

  • f1rxf1y f1rxf1y (@f1rxf1y) reported

    Why ******** is there a queue to play an FPS? What planet does Blizzard develop on? Also, how has the launch of Overwatch 2 seemingly destroyed access to all other Blizzard games? I can't login to account management or even WoW.

  • Not_Spiritx Connor (@Not_Spiritx) reported

    @Greno_ino To begin I haven’t even been able to log on, because of a server issue, so I played a couple games on Paige’s PC, it just doesn’t feel like Overwatch, and it’s not even because of the gameplay, I miss the levels and the skins (that didn’t cost money) and bastion is shite 😭

  • Sambo07479301 Susan 😷 💉💉💉🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) (@Sambo07479301) reported

  • maxisoffline m (@maxisoffline) reported

    overwatch 2 has been out for an hour and a half and I still haven’t been able to get past the login screen…

  • ACreativeUser Leah (@ACreativeUser) reported

    @BlizzardCS Why is it that I am waiting for overwatch 2 to load up at 0 players, the game launches at windowed only mode, I wait for an hour and it gives me an error.

  • SandingBoy_ Adrien Sanding (@SandingBoy_) reported

    Overwatch servers down, Valorant I'm up

  • FrankPicabia frank picabia (@FrankPicabia) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Overwatch going to the "free to play" model may be the technical problem. Not quite the same as Starcraft, etc. moving to this, because this is a new release on top of being free to play.

  • twtcandi candi (@twtcandi) reported

    @caseeyful So you're telling me that Overwatch ran perfectly fine 48 hours ago..... they take the game down for 24 hours to update it to overwatch 2....and now the login servers dont work? Who do you have to fire over there for this **** up? OW2 is basically a patch ...good job lmao

  • Richard59629695 ARC (@Richard59629695) reported

    Overwatch 2 Review: Game's better than expected. Server's not so much. Game Good! Blizzard? Not so much. Honestly hoped Blizzard would have fixed this issue that's been happening since the dawn of their company. #TheOVERWATCH2Experience

  • Madsvg Mads Vaagsether (@Madsvg) reported

    NGL, the fact that the Overwatch servers are this unstable, when they've had a LOT of time to prepare for the launch is downright abysmal planning @battlenet @OverwatchEU The circle of "Game server connection failed", 30000 queue and "unexpected server error" is old already.

  • lushibu おやすみlushibu (@lushibu) reported

    I WAIT FOR OVER AN HOUR IN THE OVERWATCH QUEUE TO GET AN ERROR NOW 20k+ QUEUE AGAIN. ALL THAT TIME FOR NOTHING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
