I just tried to play a game of competitive play and it went all kinds of terrible. I had been playing overwatch all morning and was waiting for a friend however when my friend never showed i decided to run a round without her. I started up the comp match, and when the match was found I was not instantly directed to the hero select screen. It kept me on the screen that shows your team line up and the enemies team line up for about 5 or so minutes. Once it finally led me to the character select screen, I was unable to pick any character other than Soldier 76. The only available character for me to choose was Soldier. Once I loaded in (because by the time I got actualy loaded into the match and had talked someone into believing me in game) the match already begun. I stepped out of the spawn and could see no other characters on the screen except for me. I couldn’t hear any other characters, nothing. Friendlies or enemies. The only thing I could see was my teammates names across the ground floating around. I went to attack point and when i got there there was no body but me, however I was being attacked and killed. I ended up having to leave and loose 50 sr for soemthing I had no control over.
Than after the match I tried multiple things to make the game run. I tried restarting the game yet again, I tried testing my internet and unhooking and then reconnecting to my internet i tried restarting my playstation, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Nothing has worked and I’m very upset. Currently I’ve been attempting to just run quick plays, and I can’t even load into the match. It’ll tell me “traveling to -“ and then endlessly load. It never redirects me to the character select. Meanwhile my ping and latancy have been jumping through the roof, I’ve been running 160-300 ping (which is why I thought it was maybe my internet) when lately my ping is averages out at about 55-63 the highest it’s ever gone is in the 70s. I’m not sure what has caused the random bug but hopefully it can be handled
