Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AshyPrime ash (@AshyPrime) reported

    if overwatch 2 truly is a sequel then why can i still not hit with genji's shurikens???? only feature i wanted them to fix

  • SpiderLynk 🕷 (@SpiderLynk) reported

    Overwatch fix servers ASAP!!

  • AurosVR Auros (@AurosVR) reported

    If I resolved the blue screen issue with Overwatch 2, I might stream it

  • CaptainMinnette Captain Minnette (@CaptainMinnette) reported

    @seanwhitton66 @CaptainKirkNZ @TheActMan_YT There is less slow rotation as DPS try to get a pick on another team from a slight positioning issue. Openings need to be called and executed on faster than Overwatch 1, but they definitely still happen.

  • mihawkenshi Mihawk (@mihawkenshi) reported

    @Kephrii @_miguelreis_ There is no problem with aim in Overwatch 2. Some people just can't get used to the new sound effects and visual changes and are obsessed with it.

  • Candied_Pawss ✨CandiedPaws✨🔜 ??? (@Candied_Pawss) reported

    Loving still not being able to get into overwatch after it being out. Stupid LC-208 login error **** 🤦 I literally just want to play the game and can’t.

  • Dusoeeee Dusoe Gaming (@Dusoeeee) reported

    @peter_dozal @PandaCapone @OWAnonymous_ Yeah imma go out on a limb make a complete guess and say 90 percent of overwatch players have a family member or friend they can get a code sent to one time to log in. If people don't have one trusted person in their lives then they have bigger issues than not playing a game lol

    I realy enjoy overwatch 2. The past 2 days i played every god damn second i had time. Some of the most fun i have had in a long time. And yes the server problems are anoying but even that doesen't stop me from having fun in this game.

  • Adeon Adeon (@Adeon) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun, fixes a lot of problems I had with the gameplay of the first game. But holy crap, am I glad I don't care about cosmetic items - that is the greediest shop I've ever seen. It it ever spills into effecting gameplay, I'm out.

  • JcK_Rover Jacob Kendrick (@JcK_Rover) reported

    Been playing overwatch 2 after not playing overwatch since moira's release. And it feels like it's a battle of tanks, which ever team loses their tank loses the team fight even over supports. So it's felt like tanks which sustain themselves are broken (zarya, hog, orisa feel best

  • supasmashpotato Madsamurai (@supasmashpotato) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Other live service games locks new characters behind a paywall, nobody bats an eye. Overwatch 2 makes people to just play the game to unlock characters and everyone loses their mind.

  • LuckiiTucky Tucky (@LuckiiTucky) reported

    dude its so cool how i sit through the overwatch queue now that they've "fixed the phone number problem" only for it still to deny me. that's so cool. **** this game, i'm gonna play tf2 and splatoon until this **** gets sorted

  • jarednay Jared Nay (@jarednay) reported

    @BlizzardCS I sat in the Overwatch 2 cue for an hour on Switch only to get a BC-160 error. Any assistance on this? Can’t find this error on your support page.

  • walala32671695 walala (@walala32671695) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hello I wanted to inform you of an error that happened to me recently about 2 minutes ago I made a purchase of 1000 overwatch coins to which the balance of my card was deducted but the coins did not accumulate in the overwatch coins I do not know if they could give me a solution.

  • GrandDarkElf Unexpected Server Error Occurred (@GrandDarkElf) reported

    Unexpected Server Error Occurred... @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch #Overwatch2down it has been over 3 days with this stupid error, I haven't even seen what the menu looks like yet. WTF?!

  • Dreamless829 dreamless829 (@Dreamless829) reported

    @Index_OL @TheActMan_YT The problem is... that could have been an update. Overwatch isn't like Call of Duty or Halo where it's made to be replaced, the game was built to stick around and keep receiving new content. So why release a brand new title when every change we've seen could have been an update?

  • zkinov rizkinov (@zkinov) reported

    login to overwatch 2 lesgoo

  • yolopokemons James Beckwith (@yolopokemons) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Not me on xbox still not being able to login to overwatch 2 getting errors

  • pasteldaffodil It's me 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@pasteldaffodil) reported

    @XboxSupport Can't play any gamepass games. I keep getting an outage error. Status only shows issues for Overwatch 2 and FIFA. What gives??

  • StatikDoom Zayne (@StatikDoom) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent really just sold us Overwatch 1, threw in a TON of dev errors and network instability and made it literally impossible to play. We taking this or nah? #indiegames #smalltime

  • ballsgyu sodo ♡ OW2 DAY !!! (@ballsgyu) reported

    is anyone else having issues with crackling sound on overwatch 2? if a lot is happening my sound cuts in and out kinda like it's crackling and it's annoying as ****

  • _Smoke ONi Smoke (@_Smoke) reported

    I still have the problem with overwatch that it’s way more fun to play it than to watch it.

  • itzkingofthe90s KingOfThe90s (@itzkingofthe90s) reported

    Why do I feel like the release of #MWII is causing these “DDoS attacks”? 🤔 #Overwatch

  • SMthegamer1 Shawn Matthews (@SMthegamer1) reported

    @TheActMan_YT I stepped away from Overwatch when they implemented the role queues and took out role swapping mid-game, Overwatch 2 has fixed that problem for my friend and I, so I'm back.

  • Zombie719 Philip K (@Zombie719) reported

    I can't wait until all the new people to Overwatch get bored of it... That way I can actually get into some games. No hate to you guys, I just need to get my fix.

  • Isaacvince9 Isaac vince (@Isaacvince9) reported

    So overwatch 2 has robbed me? I bought 1000 overwatch coins for the battle pass yet when I go and buy it apparently I still have 0 coins anyone else got this issue

  • Xidphel Xidphel (@Xidphel) reported

    @PlaysCurley @RedshellOW We're thinking of the same company, right? The same one that closed Warcraft 3 before launching a broken Reforged? The same one that shut down Overwatch for Overwatch 2? The one that hid heroes behind battle passes?

  • its_Hallzy ʜᴀʟʟᴢʏ 🌱 (@its_Hallzy) reported

    Overwatch 2 experience so far: - Was in position 500 of the que - Watched it slowly go down - Finally got to front of the que! - Immediately got an error - Put back into que and was back at 500. - Logged off for the night 👍

  • LobsterDroid MrDroid (@LobsterDroid) reported

    I have made a overwatch 2 smurf account because i keep getting LC-208 error, i never did this before but i become frustrated

  • _Pharaoh_138 Logan Richardson (@_Pharaoh_138) reported from Pasadena, Texas

    I’m seeing everyone and their mother complain about the connectivity issues going on with Overwatch 2, along with the the still lackluster gameplay from the previous game and I’m happy I don’t have an interest to play again
