Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • streamgoodfaith ******* PEGIN (@streamgoodfaith) reported

    i had a big problem with overwatch bc /i/ was the guy who took it too serious and was way too worried about comps and meta and it drained me and is a big part of the reason ill never play again unless im literally paid to do so.

  • L4P1S__ loud (@L4P1S__) reported

    Welp monster hunter does not like obs and i cant seem to fix it rn, will be moving to overwatch as it is simply more reliable. If you have me added on there feel free to hmu to play

  • xBad_Player Austin (@xBad_Player) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have an issue that makes my Xbox one not read a game that I’ve put countless hours into because it is on disk. The game is Overwatch Origins Edition and there is no option to buy it in store without buying the legendary edition which is far more expensive. Love yall

  • notMattVA Matt 🧠 (@notMattVA) reported

    @Glorinsz Remove hidden MMR (there are radiants getting full pro lobbies and radiants getting randoms) Add back imm1 2 3 Bring back old radiant but have the t500 similar to overwatch Add avoid player option *worst thing is hidden MMR that needs immediate fix

  • emmaloafy Emma! (@emmaloafy) reported

    @futagnarly blizzard bought out vicarious visions (crash bandicoot remakes, tony hawk pro skater 1+2) so they could work on blizzard IPs. And no doubt their biggest project rn is overwatch 2.

  • Matoro_2002 Matoro (@Matoro_2002) reported

    @CaseyExplosion especially when many of these games (Battlefront 2, Overwatch, Crash TRNF, etc.) cost ~$60 upfront, and still have this thrown in

  • Dylsponge3 Dylspunj (@Dylsponge3) reported

    @whodatsodapop The issue is that it just got compared to games it wasn’t similar too. Battleborn was so unique with an FPS MOBA, but instead everyone yelled it was an Overwatch clone. People couldn’t try it out and figure out for themselves.

  • itsreallymetro chris?? (@itsreallymetro) reported

    i liked it when i forgot overwatch 2 even existed and now the crash bandicoot people are stuck working on it :///

  • JalapenoBabyy dum peno (@JalapenoBabyy) reported

    is overwatch broken rn..? lol

  • Ohshidash OhshidⒶsh - 🇨🇦🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@Ohshidash) reported

    @SpiegelDFE See, this is part of the problem. All I play is Apex lol I change games based on who I've been gaming with. Played Sea of Thieves for a while, but people stopped so I stopped. Same with Overwatch. I game socially, so I don't play anything if others aren't =/

  • Tawk61 Tawk6 ⭐ Technically Difficult (@Tawk61) reported

    @XboxSupport I GameShare with my husband & when I tried launching Overwatch, I was getting Error 0x82d40003 & saw some people solved it by uninstalling the troubled game & now OW doesn't even show up in my library. Yes, he owns the game. I'm watching him play it rn.

  • WXLFOFMONSTADT 𝘙𝘈𝘡𝘖𝘙 (@WXLFOFMONSTADT) reported

    I will no longer be buying any cod game, nor will I be playing Warcraft or Overwatch. What Blizzard has done to Vicarious Visions in order to put more people to work on their shitty live service and half-assed remastered games is unacceptable and nothing but soulless.

  • LeafOfTea15 TeaLeaf (@LeafOfTea15) reported

    Fix your **** Nintendo/Mojang. Can't even connect to my cousin's Minecraft world. Overwatch and Splatoon 2 both work so it's not my internet.

  • Knight__OW Knight (@Knight__OW) reported

    @ComerCodex i’ve tried some other games as well, the problem is that overwatch has the feel that no other game can match, and it’s potential is so high, but it’s just insane to me how the devs have continuously disappointed, really discouraging especially from blizzard

  • ZhealOW Zheal ☽⋆゜ (@ZhealOW) reported

    tell me one hero that is broken (doomfist) in overwatch, genuinely interested

  • MrBLTs Brett (@MrBLTs) reported

    @LivinLifeNormal @XboxSupport Lmao. Dude the amount of online issues me and my friends had playing destiny 2, overwatch and cod on ps4 would make@you cry. We moved an entire clan over to avoid the crappy psn infrastructure. It’s better now but got 2015-2018 was a hot mess for psn.

  • ItsLilJack Jack (@ItsLilJack) reported

    It’s impossible to play overwatch in bronze. And the torb wont stfu about how we all suck when I have gold elims. @PlayOverwatch just fix the ranking system already.

  • Blasterino blasty (@Blasterino) reported

    @nobodydusk just caption it as "i hate overwatch" badda bing problem solved

  • DarkTomeYGO Demon Enthusiast (@DarkTomeYGO) reported

    My biggest issue with TF2 and Overwatch is the idea of counters. No character or weapon should just generally completely destroy another, it just creates unfun encounters more often. Genji vs Hanzo, Pyro vs Spy, Demoknight tf2 vs Engie, etc. are all really lame interactions.

  • Vzixae Vzixae (@Vzixae) reported

    @fluffy_jacqui @stereojpg Overwatch is the most unbalanced game ever and the devs cant fix it to help their life

  • VitGerivaz Vitor Santos (@VitGerivaz) reported

    @TheQuartering Overwatch has had the same problem for what, 4 years now? And nothing. Same company, so gg.

  • fuckitseominsoo **** it seominsoo (@fuckitseominsoo) reported

    “Once COVID is over” is starting to sound a lot like “When Overwatch devs fix the game”

  • SwurstErotic Swurst (@SwurstErotic) reported

    @StealthGamer_BR I do struggle from time to time with a concept or theme to do with OW at this point, but recently thats not been an issue at all. Either way I do wonder if people tire of Overwatch content. I'd never abandon it fully though, just try to reach more tastes

  • flurryboi nathan mcflurry (@flurryboi) reported

    Look, I'm not normally one for these kinds of things, but the last Smash characters are probably Crash or Rayman, Doomguy and an Overwatch character. I have reasons for this claim but I'm fully prepared to be entirely wrong.

  • nurvcom Anthony P (@nurvcom) reported

    @EVGA_JacobF @teamevgasupport I got rtx3090 ftw3 ultra and I have 850watt psu. And ryzen 1800x 32gb ram In games like. Cyberpunk 2077, overwatch, gtav My computer will hard hang or crash my whole pc when graphics are turn down it won’t crash :(

  • hbnter hunter (@hbnter) reported

    overwatch is so ******* infuriating and it makes me even more mad that i get disconnected at least once a ******* day and i KNOOOOOW it’s not my wifi. fix ur ******* game for console blizzard u piece of ****

  • RicemongerYT Sam Butcher (@RicemongerYT) reported

    Tomorrow’s upload will be later as I couldn’t get it together tonight. Premiere issues and what not. Looking at an early afternoon release for Persona followed by Overwatch either later that evening or 10am the next day.

  • hotdogstudios HotdogLovesYou🌭 (@hotdogstudios) reported

    ///////Establishing Connection ----Beginning Scan---- Possible match found///// Winston? Winston. Come in. Do you read me? They got everyone. I barely escaped. I’m… I’m the only one left.I know you don’t know who I am, but fortnite is in trouble. We need Overwatch.
