  • DenRasch DenRa (@DenRasch) reported

    20 hours and the Overwatch 2 servers are still experiencing issues. Guess that's what a billion dollar company does.

  • KKGamingYT_ KKGaming (@KKGamingYT_) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent so i tried merging my account on overwatch 2 and now all the characters i unlocked are locked and i check hero quests to see if i can unlock them again and theres no quests to do so im stuck using the default characters. Any fix to this?

  • 6STONES_ART 6STONES (COMMS OPEN) (@6STONES_ART) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Finally managed to play a few matches of Overwatch. I’m loving it but kinda a major issue I can’t see anything from my Watchpoint Pack in game.

  • MintyGC_ Logan (@MintyGC_) reported

    to get into overwatch 2, we launched the game and put it into windowed mode immediately (alt+enter). this way we didn’t ever have to tab out (known to cause issues) and we got in every time within about 5-10 mins, sometimes less. #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch

  • gamerofgamez1 Yolo (@gamerofgamez1) reported

    @aaronkellerOW When is overwatch 2 gonna work 🥱thought it would would today but yet still not working pretty annoying 🙄

  • PixlKatz h 💙 (@PixlKatz) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been playing overwatch since it released many years ago but yet overwatch 2 is treating me like a new player? Where is all my progress? I merged with my Xbox account to my Pc weeks ago? Please fix this.

  • Giocap23 G (@Giocap23) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I’ve had overwatch since day one. None of my skins transfered over and overwatch 2 said I never played the first one. All the characters are locked. Any fix or anything for this? #Overwatch2

  • HaSanGM_0 HaSan GM (@HaSanGM_0) reported

    Overwatch 2 needs 2 thing's more server's and less lag and i think the second one on me

  • SteelCitySaint キング Steven (1-3) (@SteelCitySaint) reported

    Overwatch 2 literally broke on launch and is still near broken for a lot of players like myself. That's the most Blizzard thing I've ever seen.

  • VF25FSherylKai Damon (@VF25FSherylKai) reported

    Overwatch 2's servers wouldn't be having problems if you all would stop giving blizzard money

  • Plague_of_Crow ♤♧ 𝕻𝖑𝖆𝖌𝖚𝖊-𝖔-𝕮𝖗𝖔𝖜 ♡♢ (@Plague_of_Crow) reported

    God I hope the issue with fresh accounts gets fixed in Overwatch 2 I MISS ALL MY STUFF 😭

  • lmaoextinct kaitosis hate account (@lmaoextinct) reported

    The "Player Is On A Different Version Of Overwatch" Error is stupid and the only way we've found around it is to unfriend them, and then go into a custom game, then invite to group. Crazy how bugs like this make is into live

  • OriOuka Ouka, Coming soon to a server near you (@OriOuka) reported

    In short, I feel the only reason I would /want/ to play Overwatch 2 anymore is to play with friends. But even THAT isn't gonna work anytime soon because of Blizzard's servers. (And I still doubt it's just because of the DDOS)

  • Benalderson7 Ben alderson (@Benalderson7) reported

    @lilithbehaviour @TJ__Avery My phone and number are both from Verizon. Years ago we switched to cricket for the service. Now I’m barred from playing overwatch

  • theunnamed ☭ Chuckles, Atheist Cleric ☭ (@theunnamed) reported

    @matronedea I couldn't even get on yesterday. Sit in queue, then server error. Rinse and repeat. Not super surprised though, Blizzard is historically bad at patches and this is the biggest patch Overwatch has gotten.

  • notbonesaw A Cruel Angel’s Synthesis (@notbonesaw) reported

    me and 2 friends played overwatch 2 for 3 hours last night, no problems. maybe we’re just built different idk

  • Goodall23Nathan Nathan_goodall23 (@Goodall23Nathan) reported

    I've yet to play a single game of overwatch 2 because every time I try there's a server error or a **** load of queues 💀💀

  • SSXIV_ Shane (@SSXIV_) reported

    Has anyone got on to Overwatch 2 and not got their watchpoint pack? If so do you know how to fix it?

  • PalutenaBow BB | zhadow (@PalutenaBow) reported

    I think overwatch running into launch day issues immediately making ending the first game a terrible decision was predicted by literally everyone ever

  • BendyLad Steven (@BendyLad) reported

    I haven’t played overwatch in a bit and I think i might not get the previous skins I unlocked. Hopefully it’s just a glitch but it could be because I didn’t link my original game on Xbox 🙃

  • keliikai BP keliikai (@keliikai) reported

    overwatch 2 servers seem to be a LITTLE better but I'm still getting the glitch where it boots me from my game when I get an xbox achievement 😭😭

  • lesboseksueel Jasper or Rose (your pronouns) (@lesboseksueel) reported

    I will say the overwatch devs picked the right sound for their loading screen because it's soothing and probably the only thing standing between me and punching a hole in the nearest wall the next time I see that server error message

  • FindingMyBrain Look just lurk ⁷ (@FindingMyBrain) reported

    At this point Blizzard should put overwatch back online. Because I can’t even login #Overwatch2

  • Pope5Harry Harry (@Pope5Harry) reported

    @MrBeast @Shopify Hey mrbeast play fix the overwatch servers
