Hi there, I’m also having the same issue. This occurs to me sometimes when my ping is greater than 120ms or so, but it also happens randomly.

  • I usually play with my friends, when we’re about to join a game things seem fine. The loading screen shows up normally,

Now Travelling to… Illios

  • But then, I get stuck in an area of the map, usually in the middle, without the hero selection screen. I can see through some areas of the map, it’s like some textures are transparent. The hero select UI doesn’t show up at all.

I can see my other teammates select a character and move around the spawn room or the map. But I can’t do anything. I can’t type in the chat box. All I can do is open the menu.

The game thinks I’m inactive and kicks me out of the match.

*Here’s what I try to do to resolve the issue temporarily, I leave the game immediately, and then quickly try to rejoin (But in most cases, I get replaced by another player. Trying to reconnect successfully would have like a 30% chance of working)

It’s frustrating that I receive an xp decrease penalty because of this bug.

Sometimes trying to switch regions work, but rarely. I think it’s more of a network issue. When my network is fine, this doesn’t happen much.

You can post screenshots by uploading them to other sites and then linking them in the comments. Just make sure to add spaces in the middle of the URL so it doesn’t get recognized.

This also happened to me multiple times, every time I try to load into a game of over watch I’m just stuck under the map and can’t do anything about it. I’m currently on a 20 hour ban. Remind me when blizzard fixes this so I can reinstall their stupid game

Same issue here, while entering the game it just clip me into the floor of the map and the hero selection is not even on the screen, then it kicks me out the game for being inactive and penalize me for it, what a nice game this is.
