Have you gotten in?

Well that’s a full day wasted trying to log in to Overwatch 2.

Should’ve known better than to take day off work expecting Blizzard to have their s#!t together when it comes to game launches by now.

Expected some launch day issues but not 16 hours of not being able to login!

Sixteen hours. Seriously. What the hell.

Siting in que to get it to finally reach 0, says entering game, then jumps to 2000 in queue.
I hope they are aware of this issue.

Yo, I can vouch: I’m not one of the players with an account merged, because I only played on Battle.net from PC. I still am unable to connect to the server or I get into the queue and then “An unexpected server error”.
So at least from my side, I can tell you it’s not just a thing about merged accounts.

was Playing with my friend right after I used kiriko ult got kicked and couldn’t get back since
after 6 queue I getting server error and it log me out now I’m on my 7 queue

I couldn’t get in at any time last night. Got in at 5am EST. Logged out, can’t get in at 8:30am.

I totally cannot be arsed. 5 mins play time Vs 10 hour wait time, server errors and failed connections. How the hell do you get a release so wrong? Was looking forward to it so much, now, Meh. Will leave the game alone now until they can be arsed to sort it out. Thanks for the snazzy wait screen though blizzard. :+1: real peachy. :peach:

It’s not even a nice wait screen. Had a lot of time to study UI/UX design during these queues and it’s overly-minimalist. It’s featureless and boring like some .ppt backdrop. Same goes for much of the interface. The new accounts are faced with a plain jane backdrop and a bunch of empty hero select boxes they’re locked out from. it’s like a bunch of dead pixels with some of them available to select. Indie studios put in more work than this.

I really hope this doesn’t have long-term negative effects on the game’s popularity. Overwatch getting a strong marketing push for the first time in years, unknown number of brand new players coming to try the game, and very few people actually get to play. New player retention probably got flushed down the tubes.

Better launch next time I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Got a whooping 4 minutes of gameplay in the last 18 hours.
Game seems great, outside of the 17 hours and 56 minutes wasted on queues and unexpected errors.
Updated visuals and lighting system are especially worth praising; new characters are incredible from all perspectives.

10 out of 10, from what I’ve seen so far.

now its been 18 hours since launch that the game has been unplayable for 90% of the player base. hopefully after the devs get their sleep and rest in they can fix it soon

I’ll just go ahead and be that person who doesn’t read an entire weeks worth of forum and just post my problem. I think I saw a couple of people who have this but I’m basically launching overwatch, it queues me, finds the right server without issue, then puts me in the queue for the server itself, I wait, after a few minutes (I haven’t clocked each attempt) the entire screen just freezes and nothing happens. Task manager says it’s running, but nothing is happening on the screen at all. I tried updating all my drivers, repairing the install files, neither of those work. I also am having to delete this “Crashmailer64x.exe” thing that keeps eating up my cpu every time I start up overwatch. I dunno why it keeps reinstalling itself every time I delete it but from what I looked up, it’s totally unnecessary and/or even malware. Don’t know how true that is but at the very least I know it’s not hleping anything.

Do we have an ETA on when the servers are going to be up? I launch the game get a queue, wait through the queue, it goes to searching for server, and restarts me with a new queue.
