  • KatieF202221 Katie Flaherty (@KatieF202221) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there any update for not being able to log into Overwatch 2. It’s been over 15 hours with no proper update. The overwatch known issue link has no updates on it either. Any time scale or update would be much appreciated.

  • Game_Gene Jon Rhodes (@Game_Gene) reported

    @JoshwaM I seem to have this issue with any cross progression game on PlayStation sadly - Fortnite, Fall Guys, Rocket League. Always the PlayStation versions that have issues. Same with Overwatch... trophies, cosmetics etc never seem to carry over 😩

  • HVyper_ HVyper (@HVyper_) reported

    @Excelsior_Today @Whtegalaxyrabbt I think ur issue is u dont understand pcs. Built mine for $700 and it works fine, have never needed to replace a part. Second, ur not gonna get better connection on console, nah, the opposite, if ur choosing to play console overwatch that is ur choice 💀💀

    The overwatch 2 competitive point surplus glitch better be a “I’m sorry” gift for this botched release of a multi-million dollar game

  • blitz9942 me right here (@blitz9942) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch Are the issues with the overwatch point bundle not showing up being looked at as well? I bought it a couple days ago on Xbox and I don’t have any of the content when I got logged on today

  • securingdev Keith Hoodlet (@securingdev) reported

    So, who else is missing all of their #Overwatch skins on their Xbox account when they were finally able to login to #Overwatch2? I've already opened a support ticket with @BlizzardCS , and have receipts on all of my previous loot box purchases. Let's see how this plays out.

    Is anybody else getting a log in issue on Overwatch 2? Me and my sister have played for YEARS ( Her 2016, me 2018 ) and I can get on just fine, but she cannot? I even tried using my console and logged her in but it just gives the same log in error code? ( LC-208 ) #Overwatch2

  • Ofirizhaki 🔥The Punisher🔥 (@Ofirizhaki) reported

    @MekaDvax @hunterunic0rn @BlizzardCS Please FIX the problem!! I want to play OverWatch 2 right here, right now. I want a compensation. Where are my new skins ?? My rating from OW1 are deleted and I'm starting from 0. I'VE PURCHASED THE WATCHPOINT A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS a PLATINIUM RANK. WHERE IS IT ?

  • Yo_Boi_Crust Solid Crust (@Yo_Boi_Crust) reported

    When Blizzard won't let me play Overwatch 2 because of my cell phone service

  • DagInABooth DagInABooth (@DagInABooth) reported

    @Dexerto I wonder why... Perhaps lying about overwatch 1, the merging issues, the lying about OW2 champions. The lies and issues with the company in general.

  • yuh1234124 Cruz Sarabia (@yuh1234124) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been playing overwatch since launch in 2016. I bought the beta and watchpoint pack and whenever I begin to log in the game it continues to have an unexpected error. It has been almost a full day and my patience is limited. Please have something to update

  • Onbekend_Vibe Onbekend Vibe (@Onbekend_Vibe) reported

    @GoryRaven Whats crazy is Cricket carrier phone numbers do not work either. So I cant even play at all due to the phone number issue as well. Never played Overwatch. Wanted to try it. Now I could. But cant. Now I just make jokes how the porn is better than the game rn anyway 💀.

  • YOKOVision_ Lets Break it Down! (@YOKOVision_) reported

    I literally can’t get in Overwatch 2 every time I put my number in which is ****** stupid by the way blizzard. It doesn’t let me in. Never had this issue with a Free ****** game.

  • simondewhurst Simon Dewhurst (@simondewhurst) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN hi team. Since installing overwatch 2 im having latency issues. Used to be around 40ms on ow1 but now 100-130ms. Router and signal working as normal. Is there a known issue?

  • Thundermouser Thunder Mouser (@Thundermouser) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent OK, list of probs for me so far, no watchpoint pass showing even though I own it, none of the bonuses for having it, old skins for Overwatch that i unlocked not there either. And to top it all off, logging in issues, got in once, refused entry 3 times. Fab.
