When we are in group and queue for arcade she goes into the game and I am stuck in a (bugged) menu screen. When I leave party I can’t “join game” either (again, menu screen locks and nothing happens). Restarting doesn’t help either.
Way to go, I paid 15€ to not be able to play with my one friend still playing the game anymore?
WTF?!
//edit: We managed to get into quickplay together ONCE, had a game with a griefing lifeweaver abusing his life grip on cooldown and now after a 2min reporting break on requeueing: SAME PROBLEM AGAIN.
I’m done.
I’ve got the same issue as described in your first paragraph, but neither me nor my friends bought the new story missions and such, the bug is still there. We queue a quickplay game together, we find a game and I am the only one who is stuck in main menu and after half a minute it says something like it had issues connecting to a server and I never had this issue before season 6…
I checked local network issue reports and apparently the Overwatch server access across Germany and especially the United Kingdom was completely torn this evening.
Looked like either DDoS issues or ABK mismanaging their servers upon launch after hyping for the PVE release.
Either way it’s pretty disappointing.
I figured I could play (PVE) Missions now, but my friend left after us not being able to play for an hour or so. It’s pretty disappointing considering she left the game longterm after being disappointed by how OW2 was gameplay wise and came back to have a look at the new content released with today’s patch.
Way to go Blizzard, way to go…
