Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • deltempestad delta△ (@deltempestad) reported

    @EmeraldJirachi @maspuedecantar @OverwatchNaeri Overwatch is a live service game, which means that 60 dollar price tag quickly becomes nothing over the years. They need active income to continue funding the game. Thats why its f2p now

  • tetiqut #1 stunna (@tetiqut) reported

    @goId043 i mean i think in this particular clip it was pretty reasonable that she didnt die but it is true that that is a real problem in the game "overwatch 2"

  • jlooooooo1994 J🦭🫧🌸 (@jlooooooo1994) reported

    The game lasted 30 minutes. Bhvr fix your garbage game. Your community is so fed up with the bullshit. I’m switching to apex and overwatch so I can actually PLAY the game I paid money for #DeadbyDaylight

  • Nightmare_XX123 Nightmare_XX (@Nightmare_XX123) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I am having problems talking in VC on overwatch 2 I have tried different things, and nothing has changed, I have even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. I don't know why this is happening as I am able to talk in VC on other games.

  • lekst3r Lekst3r (@lekst3r) reported

    @bruzewanye @KiNGPRiMO40 @GameSpot The meta drastically changed like 25 times during overwatch 1 lol. I agree on hit detection. Used to hit most of my shots as cree now it feels clunky. I like ow2 but balance is an issue. Doom and queen are beyond trash while genji and dva are gods

  • RockLeeSmile Nick Reineke (@RockLeeSmile) reported

    Another problem with Overwatch 2 UI design is they've made it so when you mouse over your teammates profiles in "recent players", it no longer shows you what heroes they played. I can never remember their tags and I frequently need to report people, so now that's harder.

  • The_ZSP The ZSP (@The_ZSP) reported

    @OooldG Possibly? I mean I'm not too sure, I do wonder what it would've been like for me if I had bought the original overwatch, maybe I would've liked it! (Though from what I've heard they had alot of issues that they changed for this game)

  • stormisjesus 🌩 Stormandreas 🌩 (@stormisjesus) reported

  • ItsChammyG Team Shiver. (@ItsChammyG) reported

    Its not even the fact that I have to spend money on skins or content bc its F2P. Its how MUCH they're charging for this stuff that's the problem. I play Fortnite and other F2P games with in game shops and none of them are as expensive as Overwatch 2. A game that also DOESN'T WORK

  • horsebox98 liam liam liam (@horsebox98) reported

    Overwatch servers down?

  • LMotional LMotional (@LMotional) reported

    They actually need to fix the rank system in Overwatch. There is no way I win another 7 games with only two losses and stay in the same tier. Like bruh

  • Jacle21 The_Jacle LAS (@Jacle21) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey I'm having a problem it seems that the overwatch 2 game won't let my friend and I play competitive despite the fact that our ranks have been reset and besides I was bronze in overwatch 1 so what seems to be the problem and please help us fix it

  • HeartfordTown Heartford Town (Fantasy Multimuse) (@HeartfordTown) reported

    @ArcadeMaven // I have the distinction of waisting parts of my brain to learn that franchise’s lore, so if there’s any questions it’s not a problem. Not much lore tbh, from beginning to end, Nothing really happened in overwatch 1. 6 years of the story going nowhere, lol.

  • payytah Paytah (@payytah) reported

    @Metro_OW No. Infinite invis, hack while invis, fast firing high damage. She's broken and shouldn't be in the game. I don't jump into Overwatch to play hide-and-seek.

  • UNWANTED_STXNER 𝐻𝑎𝑛-𝐽𝑜𝑜𝑛 𝐺𝑤𝑎𝑛 (@UNWANTED_STXNER) reported

    been playing overwatch non stop recently . . . think I got a problem . . .

  • miningsimgod miningsimgod (@miningsimgod) reported

    @battlenet hey I'm on window 10 laptop and it doesn't let me download overwatch it keeps saying error I have enough space on USB

  • RelentlessAnim Leo ‘Shizuki’ Animated (@RelentlessAnim) reported

    @RafsValstrath @OverwatchBase Do you really care that much about buying a voice line? You could play overwatch 1 for weeks and NEVER get an epic skin, or even worse, duplicate blue items due to the lack of any pity system - again, NEITHER SYSTEM is ideal and people will take issue with both

  • FinnKeady Finn Keady (@FinnKeady) reported

    @ATVIAssist @BlizzardCS Hey. Log me back into my Overwatch 2 Account. "Sorry, we were unable to log you in. Due to suspicious activity, This account has been locked." ACc: Finnopolis12 Fix it immediately.

  • czr_dashie zack (@czr_dashie) reported

    why tf you guys thinking genji is broken…he’s literally been the same sense the dawn of time #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • nannudidarr Nannu Didar (@nannudidarr) reported

    bastion and tornjorn are disabled from the game for over a week and blizzard/overwatch is so lazy to fix bugs/glitches in this game, neither they have nerfed sombra and dva! @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS LLLLLLLLLL

  • GhostFireZMG 🔥⭐~Ghostfire~⭐🔥 (@GhostFireZMG) reported

    Anyone else experiencing a memory issue randomly with Overwatch?

  • EmanKhaotik 𝔈𝔐𝔄𝔑🔺 (@EmanKhaotik) reported

    @XboxSupport can we possibly get a fix on Overwatch 2 showing up as Overwatch Origins Edition on my profile status?

  • Cyber_Caldos_77 🎃 Darrol Ruth 👻 (@Cyber_Caldos_77) reported

    @Tascharoe That's really strange I know overwatch 2 has tons of issues. Try contacting @BlizzardCS. I have a battle pass problem it sometimes don't count the challenge points to level it up

  • pxnklii 𝘗𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘪 🌸 (@pxnklii) reported

    Does anyone else have issue with talking in game in Overwatch 2? My game just doesn't seem to pick up my microphone no matter how many times I change devices...

  • Rei_Tawww Tawilisss FeeshTuber 🐟 (@Rei_Tawww) reported

    So.... maybe processor is my problem why I can't play Overwatch?

  • PioCanlas Monday Destroy (comms open) (@PioCanlas) reported

    Games that released so far that are ruining it for me: Overwatch 2- crashes within 2 minutes of the round. Ps5 version- error Darktide Beta - forces me to restart the comp the moment i get passed the loading screen. I have never seen the hubworld.

  • Chaimelo Chai | V-Artist 🌿 (@Chaimelo) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Technically the stuff didn't use to be free. You had to play to get it, and to play you paid for the game. The issue now is that there is no way to get free things. Apex has ways to get free loot crates thru leveling. That's where overwatch should have went to make this feel fair

  • PinchRaccoon 💰Pinch💰Raccoon Vtuber🏳️‍⚧️(they/them) (@PinchRaccoon) reported

    @katanachan There’s recently been a lot of discussion about ranked putting players far lower then they’re supposed to be, which has been confirmed as a glitch, and they’ll send out an update with updated metrics soon! because when Isn’t overwatch broken

  • KanmeiAva Kava🇺🇦 (@KanmeiAva) reported

    I hate that this "indie company" can't fix servers for almost two weeks after Overwatch came out, cause i got such a funny moment as lucio when enemy zen kicked me out of window of the map, and server crushed cause of unknown error and I can't even check the replay

  • Ringer_53 ☠️ Grim Ringer ☠️ (@Ringer_53) reported

    @SimonRK1 Issue is that Overwatch tried having set roles but it's really not fun. I prefer how it is in TF2 that you can play literally anything without being limited by roles. Imo it's fine in Siege cus if they're bringing 2 grenade denial then they're probably lacking in other things.
