Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Skotiia Nicky (@Skotiia) reported

    I’ve got some major lag issues while trying to stream overwatch 🥲 I’ll probably stream the sims or minecraft for a little bit until I either upgrade or figure it out

  • LycanOfChaos Verak Dragora (@LycanOfChaos) reported

    @GrantRencourt If it does it again I’ll be sure to, so far it’s occurred all 4 times when I’ve been playing games, 3 of them Warframe and it happened just after I booted up Overwatch 2. The external HDD they’re on is the only one that the chkdsk found errors on so it may just be that, I hope.

  • cuddapotato Aries’ Groove♈️🪩🕺🏾 (@cuddapotato) reported

    Overwatch’s Comp Rankings are ******* broken…

  • JackOfspAdes98 Andy ♠️ PNGTuber Demigod of Luck (@JackOfspAdes98) reported

    My laptop crashed immediately after I closed OBS lmao better than having it crash during stream. Thanks for hanging out in stream, we didn't finish our Tank placements but we did our best. We raided @starglazedmoss who was also playing Overwatch so show them some support! GN all

  • noshwadeee One&only 💙 (@noshwadeee) reported

    Overwatch is broken tonight 😭 I swearrrrr

  • snortythepirate snorty (@snortythepirate) reported

    my inconsistency issues in overwatch 2 need work, but heed my words, i will put in the time and become my enemy teams worst tank nightmare!!

  • HodgyyBeatts18 Kyle Hodge™ (@HodgyyBeatts18) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix Overwatch! Some people can’t get out of bronze 5 even though we carry the team. Please fix this

  • 711elderemo Mugen (@711elderemo) reported

    @akur0su @PlayOverwatch Slight damage reduction in her disruptor blast but other than that you want to nerf abilities that require sun which most of the overwatch player base lacks. She’s not a problem when I face her as say Ashe, cass, 76 or even genji (and I’m a **** genji tbh)

  • jace13865616 syraph (@jace13865616) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey I was recently banned from the ENTIRE overwatch ranked season because the game continued to crash repeatedly and then also it would not let me back into overwatch servers until the match was over and now I was wrongfully banned for a reason that was not my fault

  • smowday_ smow (@smowday_) reported

    i played overwatch for 7 hours straight yesterday…. i have a problem

  • greenonez2 Wesley Prince (@greenonez2) reported

    @ThisIsITalk I honestly don’t see any problem. I mean Fortnite’s been doing it for years but Overwatch does it and everyone hates? I just don’t understand

  • DegenerateJay Degenerate Jay (@DegenerateJay) reported

    @QuiGonMax Oh hey related question then, sorry to drag out the conversation, but I've been meaning to ask someone else who likes OverWatch how the sequel is doing right now. I saw it had a rough launch and I was kind of waiting on the issues to be fixed up because I loved number one.

  • PandaPapaYT PandaPapaYT (@PandaPapaYT) reported

    @PlayOverwatch first you take away our favorite game since 2016 and then come out with a crappy sequel and now I'm jiggle-lagging. Wtf is going on overwatch, do better!!

  • awanpamungkas awan pamungkas (@awanpamungkas) reported

    Just never buy battlepass if Overwatch keeps dc-ing all the time. Fix this mf first you goddamit @PlayOverwatch

  • Dyle_Kodd kyle big *** head (@Dyle_Kodd) reported

    @RustyBUCKETS321 Live Service/Battle Pass gaming is ruining the FPS genre at every level. Halo, COD, Overwatch, Battlefield, SW Battlefront, and every Battle Royale are all significantly worse to play than they were a few years ago. I miss paying $60 one time for a complete game.

  • RendoJim_ Rendorino (@RendoJim_) reported

    @Metal_Tits Yeah, I get that. In apex you can at least grind for the characters before they're released, but in overwatch you gotta wait for the battlepass to come so you can start grinding. Or buy the pass.. I really haven't had that problem yet since I played og Overwatch so I have em all

  • Berryz___ Berryz (@Berryz___) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can you fix the issue when fps is constant on Xbox series x? Goes from 120 to 60 locked in 3 games and has to restart to fix the issue. Overwatch 1 didn’t have this issue

  • billb0ard Keils (@billb0ard) reported

    gone 7-0 three times as support and I'm still in bronze 5. Overwatch needs to fix it's competitive system

  • PonyBoii64 Ratchet (@PonyBoii64) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi Just about live service game that isn't Minecraft. Overwatch 2, Warzone, Fortnite, hell even Forza Horizon has gotten lame af with their monetization schemes

  • H9Kil Kil_h9 (@H9Kil) reported

    @BlizzardCS Thank you, sir, for your response, but there is no solution to my problem, which is that I was banned in Comp Overwatch 2, and my device was in a western condition and I could not play, and I was given a ban because of this and this is a ban for the length of a season

  • BaconSupanova Sir Brendan (@BaconSupanova) reported

    Got my CoD refund. I'll stick with Overwatch 2 for my FPS fix for now. At least that game isn't broken for me.

  • aikoeffect 𝓪𝓲𝓴𝓸 (@aikoeffect) reported

    i can not rank up in overwatch 2, the rank system is so broken. i have won so many matches and i keep staying the exact same, this system is seriously broken blizzard please fix it !!

  • LucidSadie 80's Kid 🦊 "Kittsune" (@LucidSadie) reported

    @PlayOverwatch How much to read it? Ten million Overwatch tokens? FIX YOUR STORE PRICING AND CHECK YOUR GREED. READ THE ROOM.

  • bradderz60 . (@bradderz60) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix ur game can't expect ne 1 to pay money on overwatch 2 when it dnt work rather play overwatch 1 at least it worked

  • b0bhamburger Elliot (@b0bhamburger) reported

    sitting in my basement playing overwatch 2 with a potentially broken wrist all day only interrupting for therapy smelling like mild BO cuz thats how i feel rn

  • OrgansfromRage Organs From Rage (@OrgansfromRage) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have not gotten an response to my issue about overwatch, it's been 4ish days going on 5 with 0 response.

  • karvix1 Karvix (@karvix1) reported

    So wait, the Cyber Dragon bundle in overwatch 2 is 1900 credits but since they added buying skins separately before they got in serious trouble (and stopped doing the "False Sale" thing) buying the skin by itself is still 1900 credits?

  • Trout_Catcher F(ool)ish (@Trout_Catcher) reported

    @KattenEUW It’s Overwatch 1.5 they just added new broken characters and a boring mode

  • Bailijayjay Baywee (@Bailijayjay) reported

    @BlizzardCS any update on any fix for missing items still in #Overwatch2 Its been over a month now and I (and many other players) are still missing most of their skins and items from Overwatch 1. Any words on this would be appreciated! :)

  • LycanOfChaos Verak Dragora (@LycanOfChaos) reported

    @GrantRencourt The first 3 times it’s always been after a few hours, yet Overwatch was a few mins, can only wait and see as it’s happened once each day so far. Those errors that were fixed leaves me a bit hopeful.
