I used to play overwatch a long time ago and started playing the game again recently, only to find that because of some connection issues I am unable to properly play the game.
It first started with overwatch logging me off in the middle of the matches. When this happened I found myself in two scenarios:
-
One where overwatch logs me off but I am able to click the connect button and quickly rejoin the match.
-
Another where overwatch logs me off but when I click the connect button it asks me to log in and often that took too long and sometimes I would find myself removed from the match.
Initially, this was somewhat playable as it would only set me back some moments in the match and while it was certainly a problem I was able to play overwatch half decently with this bug. Then I started having other problems with overwatch.
I would sometimes click to join a match only to receive a message that I was removed for inactivity. I started being placed into matches with seconds to the start of the game and sometimes, my character’s guns, allies and enemies wouldn’t load until minutes in the game. When it did so it would load in the following order: Weapons, allies and then enemies. This is obviously gamebreaking as I am not only being put in the matches too late to choose a character I am comfortable with but also, I would find unable to play for the first battle which often lead to a loss.
If this is relevant to the support when the characters and guns wouldn’t load, I was able to shoot and I would get hit markers when I hit something even if it is invisible.
I love this game but this issue makes it very hard to enjoy it, it would be lovely if I was able to get a fix quickly.
Thanks for your patience.
