Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ruinerwithteeth Ruinerwithteeth (@Ruinerwithteeth) reported

    @GhosthunterBun Oh if it's Apex then yes, you might be having the same issues my friend does. Try Overwatch with your model, she's able to stream that while her model is going. If it works then you might be able to find a work around for more demanding games

  • dedu_du uwu (@dedu_du) reported

    Apex Legends nerfed a broken gun 7 days after it released If this was Overwatch then it would remain broken for over a year

  • Krellitlikeitis Jason Krell (@Krellitlikeitis) reported

    (This is not actually a dig at Overwatch as much as, for some reason, Overwatch triggers my hard to consistently reproduce crashing problem unlike anything else).

  • CerberusSenn lycanismissing.exe(⛩🏮🧧COMMS OPEN!🧧🏮⛩) (@CerberusSenn) reported

    i have the upmost respect for game developers and designers for games like valorant, overwatch and fortnite. imagine part of your job being having to listen to grown *** men whine like children about every single part of your game like they know how to fix it.

  • QueenBee_OW ✨🕯🪴 Bee! 🪴🕯✨ (@QueenBee_OW) reported

    hot take: overwatch team punishing people who disconnect from their game servers, by taking away more SR than a regular loss would, is classist

  • SwissArmy_Waifu SwissArmyWaifu | ENVTUBER (@SwissArmy_Waifu) reported

    Okay, so, after some thought, I have decided I will not be streaming Overwatch anymore until I am able to get a proper desktop pc that can handle it. It's unfortunate, but there are always problems with my stream whenever I do stream it. :/

  • aranesque Alan David (@aranesque) reported

    @TitanfallBlog Hmm seems reasonable, but the major issue was not being able to tell where the arrows come. I haven't had that problem, but lost of the player base were asking for a better trail. Either that or they increase the SFX volume, like Hanzo's arrows in Overwatch.

  • FritzDungeon ⛧ꜰʀɪᴛᴢ⛧ (@FritzDungeon) reported

    I was playing Overwatch with my apts wifi, and my lag was painfully bad suddenly...a Mercy tried reviving me and I felt so bad like no girl pls use it on someone useful

  • izunafancanada Izunafancanada (@izunafancanada) reported

    @realJeffkaplan1 Yo Jeff you ******* screwed the overwatch. You did not fix the problems. You are the first and last the worst director ever had.

  • erine_ebooks erin (@erine_ebooks) reported

    I haven’t played overwatch in like four years for driving real bad at combat in one specific video game with no problems but for some reason.

  • bereniceghost bea (@bereniceghost) reported

    overwatch doesn’t add new heros to their game, they add new PROBLEMS.

  • Krellitlikeitis Jason Krell (@Krellitlikeitis) reported

    I needed a consistent way for a game to crash on my computer, so I downloaded Overwatch.

  • JooPedroFortes3 Forteen is waiting for episode 1 🦋 (@JooPedroFortes3) reported

    @riellycooperr @dyinggiraffe1 @IGN Yeah, that's my main problem with OW. Blizzard makes a character like Dva and Roadhog and call that **** a TANK, there's like only two tanks in overwatch, the rest is DPS with a big health bar.

  • Rascally_Rose 🔞Freelance Rascal🔞 (@Rascally_Rose) reported

    @draconifay_ @Zaccrim The Overwatch women have this in their models, it borderlines grotesque at times. Frankly baffling, but very telling that only 4 women break the typical hour glass mold and almost all of them still have the back problem.

  • 4Motumbu Motumbu 22.4 (@4Motumbu) reported

    Overwatch dps are ******* broken

  • austinclareball Austin Ball (@austinclareball) reported

    @RepMikeGarcia @All435Reps Maybe the problem isn’t illegal ********* growers but rather government overwatch destroying the potential of a plant that has a multitude of uses! We need to get illegal immigration under control and get a legal workforce that is paid a proper wage working the fields.

  • Gozutrucker69 Gozu (@Gozutrucker69) reported

    i think it's really interesting how overwatch and apex both face the same problem of "the core gameplay is not canon to the story" but their response to it like wildly differs in competence between apex's "the gameplay is like half-canon plus we release lore regularly" vs -

  • BradMillsteed Bradley Millsteed (@BradMillsteed) reported

    @hirschirsch Any filter or handling issues using Overwatch mate?

  • alexcarlislee Alex (@alexcarlislee) reported

    @GlaxonXIII I’ve noticed it’s multiple games not even Nintendo related, got lag on Overwatch and R6S last night. I NEVER lag so that was a first. Guy above said fortnite too. Weird coincidence.

  • Gregsix92 - (@Gregsix92) reported

    @CalebGamerOW @PlayOverwatch Broken?? Are u even playing overwatch? The meta is broken lmaoooo..

  • BriannaGibbons2 🔞 Brianna 🔞 APEX WOMEN SIMP (@BriannaGibbons2) reported

    Okay, but y’all really be making me consider playing overwatch again after I vowed to never touch the game again purely because of my anger issues

  • WutTheDeuce1 Ryan (@WutTheDeuce1) reported

    I went back and played Overwatch. One match is all it took to figure out why that game ******* sucks. Issues still exist in that game that should have been fixed years ago. 2CP is a cancerous game mode and Doomfist is the most braindead piece of **** character ever created.

  • _B0baRatBlast_ B0baRatBlast | Rat Enthusiast 💛 (@_B0baRatBlast_) reported

    im back home, Overwatch time if im not lagging lmao

  • yx413x TONYx413x (@yx413x) reported

    @Neely_OW Uninstall overwatch then download it again I haven’t had issues since I did that

  • nuns_on_film natty strange (@nuns_on_film) reported

    @CharlesMittens I was thinking of overwatch. same issue though I'm not very good at FPS games when they're on consoles and I have to use a controller to aim? PC is better for that and I don't have a PC

  • digikitt3n kate | digikitt3n.tv (@digikitt3n) reported

    I have so much fun playing overwatch but I'm so sick of players targeting me and my team being useless and then telling ME that I'M the problem and that I'M trash. ok sweetie 🤡💩

  • Gozutrucker69 Gozu (@Gozutrucker69) reported

    - overwatch releasing one cinematic like every half a year and the plot never moving anywhere hopefully overwatch 2 will fix this though because overwatch's story development is the saddest thing i've seen

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @Gregsix92 @PlayOverwatch I have 7600+ hours on Overwatch and I'm literally playing the game right now as we speak. Also what I mean by broken is like game breaking glitches or bugs

  • fuckencool kastel (@fuckencool) reported

    @KreativKin yeah cuz what ******** is ur actual problem to care so much about an overwatch opinion to cry about I feel bad that people follow a ******* low life loser like you

  • ChefMaxt Max (@ChefMaxt) reported

    @onioji_vt I better fix overwatch on my laptop now
