A few of my friends on Battlenet trigger the message “[Player] has stopped/started playing Overwatch” 4-8 times within a second.
[Please move this to the bug forum.]
I also am experiencing the same issue and it is bothering me and my friends!
I have noticed that the issue could be swapping servers! I could be wrong, but I will explain my thoughts.
Although the servers are mixed now and the game sets the match at the lowest ping possible, I have noticed couple of my friends having this issue when they swapped the servers back in the Battle.net app.
At the time I didn’t know about the new servers system. I closed the game and in battle.net application I changed the server couple of times ( US / EU / AS ) to test the ping when playing with my friends.
The next day I went back to the server I usually play at ( Asia server ) and my all of my friends list noticed the same issue! Apparently, whenever I get a game, whenever I finish a game, whenever I go to training or practice range will trigger this issue!! The started/stopped playing overwatch will flash a lot of times in the same second.
I cant play unless I set my status to offline which is really bothering!
I hope you fix this ASAP!
