Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hneimoon Ada (@hneimoon) reported

    Overwatch adding the phone number thing is so annoying it is not necessary people will still find ways to make a smurf, smurfing does not harm anyone, its just a game and cricket being the main one having issues? Why add such a stupid option when some people wont be able to do it

  • TheSirPenguinn SirPenguinn (@TheSirPenguinn) reported

    Well no Overwatch 2 for me because I my phone service is with cricket. Great system you have there @Blizzard_Ent

  • 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.

  • 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 😭

  • LEVIIA7HAN ho (@LEVIIA7HAN) reported

    if overwatch game servers crash one more time on me bro I'm going back to gundam evo.

  • anonymongoose Sebastian (@anonymongoose) reported

    Not remotely surprised that I’m stuck in a glitched queue for overwatch 2. It always says 0 players ahead of you and then gets server issues. Blizzard is a lot like Nintendo

  • uwu_aimeee 🌈ₐᵢₘₑₑ (@uwu_aimeee) reported

    so has overwatch 2 just like, broken everything lol

  • JD__Justice Johnathan Justice Doenhart (@JD__Justice) reported

    How’s overwatch 2? I was a big fan of when I reached 6000th position in the queue to play, to be told an error had occurred, to then be placed 20,000th Very cool guys, very cool

  • UpnightB Autumn (@UpnightB) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN @BlizzardCS'm still annoyed with how long I'm waiting to sign in. I've tried multiple times to restart my console. I keep getting in signing in errors and stuck in long *** queues which don't seem to be getting any better. It's a shame I can't play overwatch yet.

  • 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.

  • 2099gaming 2099LovesYou (@2099gaming) reported

    Everybody’s gettin the same error code on overwatch 2 lol we can’t log in. I’m just gonna get back on ps5. Somebody let me know when the damn game works

  • Jessjohnesik Alexandra S (@Jessjohnesik) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can someone explain to me how is it that every time a major patch comes out, there are issues with connection? It has been years, and now it still happens with Overwatch 2? Is Blizzard legitimately an indie company? So frustrating and not a good sign at all

  • 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.

  • FallenWalker98 Childish Delbino 💪🏾 (@FallenWalker98) reported

    The way I’m just getting errors with overwatch like i really wanted to try the game 😭

  • BigTime7051 BigTime (@BigTime7051) reported

    all this trouble trying to get into Overwatch 2 is making me not wanna play it now. this is so frustrating man

  • AckermannJann Jann Ackermann (@AckermannJann) reported

    @Jay3OW PLS HELP ME!! Yo can you pls help me.i bought overwatch 1 in the freedays and now I can't buy ov1 and ov2 in the store so I always get the error message that I have to buy ov1 in the store

  • 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.

  • Hotstuff_002 HS !COMMISSIONS OPEN! (@Hotstuff_002) reported

    I hope the Overwatch crash i had was cuz of the servers, not the game itself. Cuz if it is the game, well ******* GG i cant play it

  • 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…

  • Rhojinquest Rhojinquest (@Rhojinquest) reported

    If you get a bad image error for Overwatch 2, force update windows. That should fix the issue.

  • 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?

  • NOSlLLA NOSILLA🦋 (@NOSlLLA) reported
