Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChaoticEfficnt Zets (@ChaoticEfficnt) reported

    @Ray_or_Pablo I had the same problem with Overwatch. I could barely tell the difference between comp and quick play anymore lmao

  • GabeWasTired IWasTired (@GabeWasTired) reported

    @Nokotaaa Ok, happened to me multiple times. Sometimes Overwatch audio and other audio goes to other sound devices. Potentially your monitor or a program. I thibk an easier fix is to open sound control panel and disable all devices you dont care having sound cone out of

  • Mcboots ブーツ 👢🌭🤡 (@Mcboots) reported

    Overwatch's PVE story modes become so glitchy and broken if you speed run it on normal with 3 DPS and a bap. We had 2 moments with 20 sec gaps of no enemies cuz the scripts couldnt catch up lol

  • ScoutisDemon Mary Skeleton (Mayhem) (@ScoutisDemon) reported

    @DonToons Yeah well, GameStop was one of the nicer stores that had TF2 pop figures. There was this one shop I used to go to at every convention and they had allot of TF2 crap. When they said we have Overwatch, I was heart broken.

  • SunfIowerDB luncas (@SunfIowerDB) reported

    @JackFS10 I've fixed the issue myself by simply not watching overwatch league

  • OlManMakowski G1 Makowski (@OlManMakowski) reported

    @aussiespartan I’m all for OHK but it should require risk and precision. The problem with GLs is you can get that same result by just spamming hall ways like a junk rat playing Overwatch. If they got you down to a quarter shield it wouldn’t be so bad but one hit is overkill

  • shanesyhayes stay safe corona. (@shanesyhayes) reported

    @BlizzardCS I did three stars on overwatch and it wasn’t doubled. And now the challenge has ended and I missed the skin by 2 stars. If you would have doubled my stars I would have gotten it. I’m done. Issues like this are trash.

  • jake1ender Jake (@jake1ender) reported

    @PlayStation Recently I got a ps5, but I'm having an issue getting a game I purchased on ps4. I bought Overwatch:Origins edition when it came out years ago through the playstation store and its telling me I can't re-download it for ps5 that I have to rebuy the new version of it.

  • squid1da johnny (@squid1da) reported

    @Jaypher_ Have you tried apex on steam? There were a few people on Reddit who claimed Origin was actually the issue. I also heard overwatch is good for 8khz

  • ForcedWeeb 🥝〰️🥝 (@ForcedWeeb) reported

    @Overloaded_LAS Top 5 broken heroes in the game by activation blizzard known as overwatch, released in 2016

  • MaciaPaladin Michael C. Prokop (@MaciaPaladin) reported

    I think another problem with games like #Overwatch is that nobody is really just playing for fun anymore. #FPS games are all competitive all day, 24/7.

  • 29sswada adam (@29sswada) reported

    @Tim_Cuber37 @Iriddium @ethoz only issue i got is with people holding angles and listening to sounds cues. wish the game had a workshop type mode so ppl could edit game modes (like in overwatch) and someone make a DM mode with no sound cues and you can only stand still for like 3 seconds before being punished

  • DecimateEU Matt_McG_27 (@DecimateEU) reported

    @OllieCarefree @OfficialVizeh No. They need to improve gameplay first that's the biggest issue. Champs is meant to be the comp mode. You don't see league play be only snipers, or overwatch comp only be 1 specific thing cos then it takes away the idea of it being the comp mode

  • rawgoatkino ًnat (cr: jjk) (@rawgoatkino) reported

    ik i said this before but i'll say it again, the overwatch community is 10x worse than the smash community because while the smash community has **** problems they at least deal with them. The overwatch community literally tried defending Sinatraa, Mouffin, Redshell and others

  • redomotive Redomotive (@redomotive) reported

    I do enjoy playing the #Overwatch Archives event because it is nostalgic at this point, but that's also a big part of the problem. It REALLY shouldn't be nostalgic. #videogames

  • FluidDruid4K Fluid Druid (@FluidDruid4K) reported

    @Hiko Sounds like the problem overwatch faced before it started to die off

  • SnowTheFloof SnowTheFloof (@SnowTheFloof) reported

    Love being told I should kill myself on overwatch and that im the problem when im 15k damage in 6 minutes and we still lose....

  • NicoJuniba Nico Ballesteros (@NicoJuniba) reported

    @Melody_SC2 Overwatch sucks. You need 2+ consistent friends to improve. Took me several seasons to solo climb as genji from silver to plat. Support is harder because low carry potential, a healed idiot is still a healed idiot. Except moira and baguette, ****** broken designs. **** baguette

  • KillingInPink Ashlee (@KillingInPink) reported

    @ElitheSensei @JenelleVictoria In order to pursue competition in the sport/game you have to enjoy it first. Every Pro started out somewhere but males weren’t met with the same issues that females do. We saw this with thar female pro in overwatch who quit because of nonstop harassment.

  • ahriman_c Knight AhrimanC (@ahriman_c) reported

    @MDtheAgent1 @TheeMadSpartan Why though, other than lootboxes (I’d thank Overwatch for that) I haven’t heard about any problems other than some of the games being ****.

  • Dahii007 Totem cleanser 💀 (@Dahii007) reported

    Why am I getting braindead gold teammates when im high plat... fix your matchmaking overwatch 🙄

  • lewmcm Lew (@lewmcm) reported

    @BSBrent_ @lftstjonny hey brent i know this is off topic but im really sorry about that one time we did overwatch 1v1s and i got really salty and blamed lag and got really rude, i regret that

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

    I'm so goofy , Overwatch problems!

  • jake1ender Jake (@jake1ender) reported

    @AskPlayStation Got a ps5, but I have an issue. I bought Overwatch:Origins on the ps4 through the ps store years ago. I wanted to re-download it and play it on ps5, but I can't. Its telling me to buy the new version. Any help is appreciated.

  • Shiretsunya99 Shiretsunya (@Shiretsunya99) reported

    If someone disappears mid Overwatch match and your first reaction is to whinge and say they purposely left, get out of my match. Internet issues happen, black-outs happen, PCs/consoles can have problems, the game can crash Don't talk **** when you don't know circumstances

  • scorpionviscera автомат кошка 12 (@scorpionviscera) reported

    @SleepDrunkLive Like yeah loot boxes has been a problem in "big" games for a while but they've mostly been limited to cosmetics (i.e. overwatch skins, you could still play those characters without) but for the characters in big games to be locked behind gacha... Not good prospects

  • Cmax_one C.Max (@Cmax_one) reported

    How about fixing the glitch that had my character constantly lurching to rhe right for 90% of a comp round insuring we lost and probably my whole team reporting me for "throwing". Thanks #blizzard #Overwatch

  • PrasadMangal2 Prasad Mangal (@PrasadMangal2) reported

    @SlepyBoii @LegacyKillaHD it brings in cash through loot cases and stuff, seriously valve should resolve those issues cause tf2 could be as big as overwatch but they would rather work on vr and tech that most cant use smh.

  • kenta_channeru Minamoto Kenta🔫🎌源健太 | 楽家 (@kenta_channeru) reported

    i want to try streaming on twitch only for this overwatch stream 🤔 no im not lazy only because it seemed that my overwatch stream is kinda lagging on YT O)-(
