Lost connection to the game server

Hey Pockets. I’m using Grande as well in the Austin, TX area and tried everything as you did (except reset drivers). Not sure if it’s just a coincidence or maybe it’s an issue with Grande and Blizzard trying to connect? Game launched for me on the U.S. servers last night after about 8 tries (wasted 15 mins of my time). Hopefully someone on the Blizzard server team looks into this and fixes ASAP. I love Overwatch and it’s been frustrating to not be able to play it when my time i limited as is. And I’m scared to go into a Competitive game because I don’t want to be kicked off the servers.

I hope so too. I just edited my main post, but it happened to my boyfriend’s main as well. Like mine, his other 2 accounts work fine. We live together in Corpus.

I’m so close to gold border, it sucks not being able to play since I have a lot of free time this week :frowning: Blizzard pls help

No change. May actually be a bit worse if anything

Did you do something to get this fixed, Caterpepi? US server is working perfectly for me this afternoon. I’ll update again if I cannot get in later tonight.

I’m also on Grande in Austin and can’t connect. It did this to me once yesterday and after restarting the client it worked. Today I can’t connect at all and it is only to Overwatch. Hearthstone and Diablo both connect with no issues.

Edit: It is also only affecting this account. On the exact same computer with the exact same network connection I am able to log into my second account. This account is the only one unable to connect. This is an issue with Overwatch servers.

Yeah, it’s now broken for me again. Not loading the game. Was working fine earlier this evening!! So frustrating.

Hey all,

We’re currently investigating and gathering data for players affected by an emergent issue. It appears that the Dallas Level 3 node is holding up some of our traffic. We’ve been collecting reports and tests on the World of Warcraft forums already, and have been in communication with ISPs who have agreements with Level 3. We don’t currently have an estimate on when this will be resolved, as we don’t have any peering contracts with Level 3, but we have been hearing you. Thank you for your reports.

I want my 50 SR penalty reimbursed back to me, my 1 point endorsement level that was taken away, and have my 10 minute competitive suspension removed from my account pronto. All due to server disconnect. Its called “making the customer whole” when a service fails the customer, causing undue hardship.

I think this qualifies

Same here man
No idea what the hell happened
I tried resetting my password but can’t anything

After spamming connection attempts, I’m able to finally get into a game. One game went well and had no lag, then half way through the next match, this is how my game plays. This has been going on for around a week, and makes Overwatch unplayable. Does anyone have any advice that will allow me to play this game that I payed for properly? Please fix the servers - YouTube

What about those of us on PS4 servers all over the world who are having the exact same issue? When are you actually going to fix things because tonight I hit 5000 latency and that is some bull

Guys, if I cant log in, I cant buy loot boxes!!!$$$$$$$$$

PC: North Mississippi here so I assume central
Same issue, except I can connect to EU and Asia servers fine (albeit with high ping), I can’t get into NA except maybe 1/10 tries and when I do it’s 150ish ping

I’m north Mississippi too, man.

Thank you so much for looking into this. Please keep us updated here. I’m having trouble logging in right now. All I want to do is come home from work on this nasty rainy day in Austin, TX and play some Overwatch! :smiley:

Please keep us posted, Blizz :slight_smile: appreciate everything you guys do. Been seeing a lot of people with Grande as their ISP having this issue.

For now I will play quick play when I can… of course this has to happen during the couple of quiet, boring weeks between jobs T_T

I’m having the same issue after the recent updates. 50% of the time I can’t even get in-game as it “loses connection to game server”. When I finally manage to get ingame, I have insane rubberbanding, latency issues, audio issues, etc.

In 2 years of playing overwatch I’ve never had any such issues. I’m in south Texas and Grande is my ISP if it helps

Hey guys, if you are having the same issue as we are go and post here:

This is exactly the same thing I’m dealing with on the occasions that I can log into the game, having issues with the failed logins too. It’s made things unplayable because I can’t see what I’m actually doing, and I’m not getting warnings about ults and such.
