Overwatch won't let me make any custom games

I’ve installed, reinstalled, verfied files, closed and restarted the game multiple times, restarted my pc multiple times but I STILL CANNOT start my own custom games lobby. It’s been happening for 2-3 days now.

I can play Quickplay fine, but no custom game will let me play it…

Sometimes this forum takes forever to load up too, and any other site is fine

What error messages do you encounter when you try to start a custom game?

“Failed to connect to server”

WhatsShimada,

If it’s failing with a specific action like a custom game, that suggests a caching or firewall/security/permissions error usually. I’d try these steps.

  1. Reset your network devices and PC or console to clear their caches
  2. If you’re using third party security or firewall programs, try uninstalling them temporarily.
  3. A new admin may fix things if we’re having some permission errors accessing your network drivers. If that works, it means something’s configured incorrectly on the old account - usually a registry thing. Typically I just recommend moving your files to the new account and deleting the old one in that case.
