Log in, but can't connect to game server

I’m unable to get into Overwatch. The login itself works, but the rotating busy icon stops turning and the game hangs for a bit with no graphics update at the “Entering game …” stage. It takes maybe 5 seconds of spinning at that stage before stalling.

After a while of no updates, it appears to give up or time out and I get a login prompt. Sometimes it says ‘lost connection to game server’ or something like that. Or “Time Out Communicating with Game Services”.

Yep, I’m getting exactly the same issue. Simply can’t log in to Americas, Europe or Asian servers. After “Entering game” I get kicked out and get a log in screen.

I’m from Australia. It could be a routing issue to Blizzards Overwatch servers, since I don’t have a problem with WoW or Hearthstone

Check out my post here and please post a traceroute as I asked in that thread, it will help in workout out the issue.
