Overwatch Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Dreadnaught (@Ancient_Rylanor) reported@PoemJosh @SpiritAvenged But Phil suddenly decided to lug her things upstairs himself with the help of a handcart and kind of forgot to mention his spine related issues. One of these items was a gaming PC and Phil played Overwatch after he set it up, but ruined Kat's stats in one session of "beasting".
-
Axubion (@AnonAxbi) reported@NayrmanBSC @YaMayaLazarus They are afraid of the Overwatch effect (buffing the **** out of a low tier character and making them broken)
-
Ry (@ry_ceratops) reportedAlso, I both hate and love the April Fools’ Overwatch Experimental changes. It’s so freaking fun and (some) characters are broken.
-
𝚂𝙿𝙾𝙾𝙺𝙸𝙴. (@SHP00KIE) reportedimagine being that toxic person that spams ‘i need help’ or ‘thanks’ when you haven’t done **** all game. overwatch problems.
-
Camscam (@CamscamIsHere) reported@urxnot I know that exact feeling and the best way to fix that is to just find another niche other than overwatch. The most entertaining content is interesting content and playing a game constantly surrounded by negativity really forces you to be less interesting and more negative too
-
sta (@JKaySTA) reportedcant play overwatch for the past couple of weeks without input lag, and it makes me get off real fast god do be lookin out for me 🙏
-
Vulgun (@Vulgun) reported@ArtStarcross A lot that platform fighters generally do not have. It's either moderate or even absurd movement tech like air dashing all the way up to replicating that one Genji super dash glitch in vanilla Overwatch.
-
Geese (@GeeseSingular) reportedAlmost every problem in overwatch is caused by dps players **** dps players i hate you all
-
ً (@MalyKatt) reported@BlizzardCS Hey Blizzard, why tf can’t I play Overwatch? Can’t apply update error every time. If this is an April Fools joke it isn’t funny, it’s just annoying.
-
Kazu ///// Mr_Pink_Guy03 - LGBTQ+ (@AkaTom03) reported@nyxthenocturnal Overwatch has similar problems if you get into a team with mic, it can get really horrible, from slurs to pure chaos. A reason i mostly play single player games or play solo.
-
sconeboixx (@shaunmillar_sm) reported@OWarcade Anyone else overwatch having problems joining games?
-
MK (@postman_mk) reportedOVERWATCH FIX YOUR FU***** GAME. @PlayOverwatch
-
Imana 🌻 (@imana_P2) reported@MegaMawsh @OWAnonymous_ Counts as representation for black women. A ROBOT. The fact that you have to reach to say orisa counts as representation emphasises the problem even more. Also I recognise doom fist is in the game, yet my point is that there are no black women in overwatch.
-
Blawndie (@BlawndosaursRex) reportedAnyone else having major issues with #overwatch right now??
-
naomi (@chefnomiv_) reportedSWITCHING TO VALORANT was having trouble w overwatch 😭
-
Bman (@Bman3443) reported@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS PlayStation overwatch is unplayable and cannot load into any game modes with out an error occurring. Any time till this is fixed? Was looking forward to playing experimental but can’t even play quick play either.
-
Phoenix (@PhoenixSabers) reported@MollsisBored I see this **** happen in overwatch all the time. I usually find a creative way to tell the tell to **** off that skirts the rules so I don't get in trouble for it.. but yeah rarely does anyone else call out the *******.
-
Matthew Dobbins (@KingofPrinnies) reported@ReseteraTakes There's just three problems with this take. 1) WFT and G&W are "wild pulls". Characters included for weirdness factor. Also G&W is one of the oldest Nintendo mascots. 2) Nintendo can't get an Overwatch character without getting permission first. 3) It'd be Tracer anyway.
-
Eric (@CPTEric) reportedI say again, Baptise is literally ruining the fun of Overwatch! An ability that negates more than one ultimate is incredibly broken and stupid! Rework or nerf the hero! @PlayOverwatch
-
WraxTV (@WraxTV) reported@katventute I'm just saying, if they did get a character from that company, I think they'd go with Crash way before they went with an Overwatch character. Hell, even if they did go with specifically a Blizzard character, I think Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo have had biggest impacts.
-
joker_j (@imJoker_J) reported@Foster8895 @Curious_Catx @Outriders I haven't had issues. And overwatch you couldn't even log in for hours after launch haha and cyberpunk was unplayable on launch. Cod even had multiplayer server issues on launch but ok. Try again buddy
-
hecate_gaming is now ImSourSlimes (@ImSourSlimes) reportedThanks to everyone who came and watched my April Fool's Overwatch stream with Sean! Apologies for the audio issues, we literally have NO IDEA what is causing it and the internet has no fixes, so hopefully we can get it solved in the future.
-
Vez (@VezWed) reportedInstead of agreeing to the terms of service , people should take an IQ test before they play games. Overwatch would be so fun
-
Snowman FFXIV Veteran (@Supersnow15) reported@Roniboney My problem is no one ever wants to play the games I enjoy playing online, Overwatch, Apex, some L4D2. Or, they just aren't on the same schedule that I am (thanks work.) No one wants to play Overwatch at 3AM. So playing with friends is nearly impossible for me.
-
Arryn Diaz 💀🔥 (@DoctorPizzaMD) reportedThe only time I play Overwatch anymore is when they add an experimental mode that's deliberately trying to be as broken as possible, because I am a demon of chaos and "balance" is for nerds.
-
Pocky (@pocky1898) reported@MegaMawsh @imana_P2 @OWAnonymous_ So overwatch should be getting a medal for doing the bare minimum? No. The bar can always be raised, and it should be. The fact that there was no black representation AT LAUNCH, and there is still no black female representation 5 years later is the problem.
-
Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reportedGetting some really bad GPU lag streaming Overwatch, so may swap to WoW shortly. I wish I could afford a new video card. Except the cheapest ones atm are $320. Which is $320 more than I have to spend on anything. :(
-
Juce (@CactusJuice690) reported@PlayOverwatch Error applying update unknown error (HF-5) on ps4 overwatch
-
Aka 120Fps Mnk (@JustMxrgann) reportedPlaying overwatch till these Ubi devs that got hired off fiverr fix their ****
-
