Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MrPaladinYT MrPaladin (@MrPaladinYT) reported

    @The_OtterPops Overwatch upgrades required an engine change. Your OW unlocks transfer to OW2. OW2 base version is F2P. Current login problems are said to be from DDOS attacks on servers but we believe its an under estimation of demand. Took only a few wins and I have access to all heros

  • CaperGrant692 CaperGrant692 (@CaperGrant692) reported

  • M21kComm_Mng Marie21klein-Community-Manager (@M21kComm_Mng) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Blizzard_Ent Please, for the love of god, fix the problems with people, that merged their PC accounts with console accounts in Overwatch. I wasn't able to connect to the servers ONCE, the whole time. I just want to play with my friends, man. 😢

  • Ashdown212 ashdown212 (@Ashdown212) reported

    1 day I will be able to actually login to Overwatch 2. Today is quite clearly NOT that day....

  • Von_Wolfberg Elias Stark (@Von_Wolfberg) reported

    @chio_ow i tried PS5 XBOX PC nothing working LC-208 and server error since yesterday i cannot play because of account merging. But my brother can play on my console with his account. **** you overwatch

  • AfroDouble RⵣΩ (@AfroDouble) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers ive had this issue on every single big overwatch update. one would expect blizzard to up their servers game for the big makeover/new game, but i guess not.

  • Awesomepig98765 AXPR YT (@Awesomepig98765) reported

    Yesterday was my first time playing overwatch it’s fun but it takes like 2 hours just to have a error

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    They removed the phone number requirement from overwatch 2.....yeah no they deserve another week of DDOS attacks.

  • tokyoh___ dylan🖤 (@tokyoh___) reported

    rank system broken or sum in overwatch 2 cause no way we win 7 out of 3 matches just to get place bronze and silver 💀

  • KarmaKarhu DJ North (@KarmaKarhu) reported

    @AngryJoeShow Joining Asian or European login servers helps. But it's basically Overwatch 1 so idk

  • bobtopp36744 Bobb Topp (@bobtopp36744) reported

    @BlizzardCS I had the issue where my account was bugged from merging my Xbox account and pc account. I still cannot get onto overwatch 2, I keep getting unexpected server errors and login errors. I thought this issue was fixed? What is happening??

  • MlCROPLASTICS v (@MlCROPLASTICS) reported

    i swear to god im going to shatter my ******* monitor if overwatch 2 gives me a server error one more time

  • K_AMAZING_O K-AMAZING-O (@K_AMAZING_O) reported

    @NkroPrncss Thats because someone DDOS the servers (so they say) i simply can never play overwatch again 💀👍

  • McH2Oz McH2Oz (@McH2Oz) reported

    All of the problems with Overwatch 2, especially the LC-208 error for merging accounts just like they told us to do, has killed all the excitement I had for it, so much so that I’ve uninstalled it. I’ll just wait for Modern Warfare 2 Wait…

  • Lxqzr1 Lxqzr (@Lxqzr1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent when trying to login to overwatch 2, i am constantly getting the error lc-208. Can there please be a fix for this? Or at least an ETA? Thanks.

  • Helramma Nichelle (@Helramma) reported

    Overwatch has at least spoken on the issue of wiped accounts and have said no player data has been wiped or lost, so I guess I will get my account history back at some point. Who knows when though?

  • Reijek1 Reijek👾 (@Reijek1) reported

    Overwatch 2 first play after release! I was worried because I saw some news of other people running into problems trying to connect to the server but it seems it has been fixed. We got to play a lot of games and even tried out the new hero Kiriko. #トワイライヴ

  • Relliaaaaa Rellia (@Relliaaaaa) reported

    @BlizzardCS Don't mean to be annoying but I submitted a ticket 2 days ago, none of my items transferred over from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 besides the comp skin for genji, is it because im not playing on the original systems i played on, or is it an account error?

  • nickm8321 Nick Marini (@nickm8321) reported

    @PlayOverwatch How do I get into Overwatch 2 servers on PS5? I’ve been in queues that have resulted in login errors every single time for 30/40 hours since the game has been released. I just don’t know what else to try besides the unhelpful restarting of console and router

  • infoslump kate struggle tweets (@infoslump) reported

    i should mention ivdont hate overwatch as a game that much, like i personally think valorant is wlrse than overwatch but just bc of the whole blizzard issue it becomes my most hated game, not bc of the game itself

  • teezeeayy TZA (@teezeeayy) reported

    legit cant play overwatch 2 cause the lag is unbearable

  • IT0nic ITonic JD🇬🇧 (@IT0nic) reported

    Overwatch 2 server’s Being DDOS

  • MahoneyRed Mahoney (@MahoneyRed) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch not mentioning the DDOS until the end of their post, and then saying it exacerbated issues is admission that the login issues were their fault from the start.

  • desastreger Not Your (@desastreger) reported

    @TeriosGaming Then the problem is figuring out if the discussion should go around how inclusive the roster is, the meta and theorycrafting or if Winton Zap. Talking about Overwatch with strangers is tough.

  • MilkDrinkerVD Milk of Calcium (@MilkDrinkerVD) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix the character locks randomly changing. I’ve been with Overwatch since launch of 1, and on all consoles. After waiting for 6 1/2 hours to get in, my characters were all locked. Second time I logged in, they were unlocked, then third time, they were locked again.

  • Catmagic_1976 Catmagic (@Catmagic_1976) reported

    @BlizzardCS When are you going to fix the ingame currency store for Overwatch 2 on xbox series x consoles @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCSEU_EN ? I want to buy ingame currency but when i want to nothing happens,it doesn't load to the currency page where i can buy ingame coins

  • UzumakiMenmo Menmo At The Cave (@UzumakiMenmo) reported

    @TheActMan_YT "Overwatch 2 is fun because of arbitrary safety measures that didn't stop the DDoS attack"

  • xcxbri Rose Scrub (@xcxbri) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It’s super unfair that LOTS of people are playing this game while others cannot. We are behind them and they are at an advantage. Why is it that the overwatch team doesn’t shut their servers off and FIX them?!?

  • Catmagic_1976 Catmagic (@Catmagic_1976) reported

    @BlizzardCS the currency store for Overwatch 2 is not working on Xbox series x,can you fix this asap?

  • CountDankulaTV Tony Dankulicco (@CountDankulaTV) reported

    The new Overwatch is so badly balanced and whole characters either became completely broken or completely useless.
