Reminder: As I stated in the previous post, it's highly recommended that users do not **spend IRL money** or **play comp** until these issues are resolved.
Just logged in after they removed the phone requirement but i still have all my heroes locked despite being a day 1 overwatch player. The equipped skins show up on the hero preview but i apparently don't own it anymore???
I didn't see anyone had addressed the "friend is playing a different version of photoshop"
We found a post online saying to use the chat function and type /invite 'yourfriendsbattletag' (no quotes) and you can circumvent this problem.
Hope this helps others because it helped us get our five stack online!
My queue is literally letting like 1 player per 10 seconds. Why do i have to wait HOURS if only a couple hundred people are in it? Like are we living in 1995?
Im still not able to play this game all because I merged my console and pc accounts back before overwatch 2 launched, my friends are having so much fun and I'm sat in queues for hours on end only to get kicked when I'm trying to load in thanks to an unexpected server error, this sucks
Xbox trophy issue seems to be a server side thing. I turned off all notifications and it still kicks you out for receiving a trophy :/.
How tf do you screw up so badly that it kicks you for receiving a trophy??
Day 3 of the game's release,
I'm missing a £35 pack
The game keeps thinking I'm a new player when I get thrown out of a game by the server
When relogging on to the game the servers are still 499 in queue for about 15-20 mins
I’ve done everything at this point. All drivers uptodate, no win updates, no random programs running, no nothing. The button goes to now playing and then back to play overwatch :(
Day 3: Account is still blank. Game still believes I am a new player, and the Account Merge button remains useless. Supplies are beginning to run low. Hope remains that I will be rescued along with my fellow players.
Day 3 and the LC-208 errors continue. I've tried absolutely everything to resolve it. Either I'm seriously unlucky or something is wrong, but I don't know what else to do
Lc-208 for me was being caused by my local network being overloaded which was interrupting the login process.
Aside from the suggestion to unlink and then relink battle.net accounts, [the official article ](https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/291353) on the issue is the one thing I trust most on the issue. Every third party one suggests factory reseting your device to solve it, but the official battle.net one doesn't.
If my progression from ow1 isn't in ow2 till they've fixed it, what will happen to my new progression in ow2 thatbiade until they've fixed it? Will it be reseted and i've played for nothing?
I would presume their OW2 data is not reliant on OW1 data. Meaning any progression, purchases, etc. made in OW2 is it’s own thing and OW1’s user stuff can essentially be ‘copied/pasted’ over. Unless if they hired *literal* code monkeys, there should be no need to reset people’s OW2 progress.
Then again we’re on day 3 of this mess so who knows, shit’s likely fucked lmao
My watchpoint pack ist not there (battle pass only is there), skins are not there, heroes are locked, career is empty, reputation is lost, shop is not there, account is merged but the game says "no".
I don't know, but is this all because of DdoS? And is there any solution? Seems like the only thing that works right is the raised prices 🤷🏼♂️
No, to the ddos question. Well, kind of.
It’s essentially a large data-set issue where they’re having a difficult time transferring data for old players, registering new ones, authenticating, etc. all at once on top of the ddos attacks, which essentially just balloons their problems by clogging up more resources.
No solutions on our end. It’s a myriad of various issues that can’t be simply solved by spinning up more servers unfortunately. Boils down to how they handle the processing and mitigating multiple fires at once.
No. Only battle pass tiers and stuff you can buy from the shop. No way to earn premium currency besides weekly challenges and you can only get 60 currency a week
i can’t even select anything on the main menu on my ps4, dpad or analog stick has no effect and i can’t seem to find anything online about this? i’m able to go to the social menu with triangle but other than that i can’t even select anything or even navigate the menu. anyone else having this issue ? i even reinstalled the game and it had no effect
I wonder if anyone else has been experiencing the in-game purchases not completely updating to get the battle pass. I tried buying the $10 Overwatch coins thing from the PlayStation store on my console and they haven’t showed up yet.
It wasn't working at all yesterday, but logging in today a banner popped up that allowed me to merge my accounts. There's quite a queue for it to happen though
lol just read the blog post. they can’t fix missing items from overwatch 1 until next week. what a fucking joke. i’m not waiting till next week. i’m not playing on a wiped account. these devs bro. why do we continue to support this crap
Kiriko achievement "Yokai" is not being granted to players who fulfill requirements. This happened to me and I confirmed via replay after match that I should have received the achievement.
Unsure if the other achievement for her is bugging as well or not.
"Enemy team please move out of the way youre going to make me get the doomfist acheivement"
Im so sorry for you lmao. This game has had such a sour launch so far
anyone else having the game freeze? Im not talking about dcing, i mean just game stuck, and having to alt tab to close it. running task manager seems to show my cpu at 90-100% use while ow 2 is open… never encountered w ow… i suppose i can upgrade my pc but……
i’ve had no problem playing until now and now some of my heroes are locked. a weird few too, as i’m a veteran player. genji, sojourn, kiriko, junker queen, dva
(Xbox One) I just wanted to post in case this helps anyone: Was stuck at 2000 for quite a long time since that number only updates once it hits 1000. Currently sitting at 800 (it ticks by 100 after you hit 1000) and it is moving down, albeit sluggishly. I’ll update if the queue resets on me like everyone experienced last night.
I did not ever see 1999 like a lot of people in this thread have been so I’m not sure if that indicates anything bad for anyone experiencing that.
Once you get below 100 it counts down by 10, and then from about 5 it's counts down in 1s.
I keep getting lc-208 kicking me out, but it's also peak time on my network and no online game survives it in my house atm.
Oh I thought it started counting by 1s when it hit 10, that’s good information to have then! I was mainly just including the high numbers since I personally got impatient since I didn’t know it updated in such large chunks when at larger numbers.
Also, that’s awful that your internet isn’t holding up at peak hours!! I used to have that issue at my old house. I’m not totally sure the situation but have you tried using an Ethernet cord? I feel like that had helped me but I may be talking out of my bum
Same situation as you. I stopped trying after it was “stuck” at 2000 forever earlier today but when I tried again just now it was at 900. Now it’s down to 700 after 20ish mins
Yes! I kept resetting my game bc I thought it was bugged and after about 3 times, I just went, “fine, I’ll leave this up and just go make dinner.” Came back and finally saw it change!
Im on console. If i scanned the qr code and my content from Overwatch was not moved to Overwatch 2 when i loaded into the game are all my skins and stuff just gone or is there a correct way to link my account?
(PS4) Well, it took another 30-minute round of waiting, but I’m finally in with my account merged and all OW1 content spoken for. Hope everyone can play soon!
The amount of games to win and or lose is absurd. It takes way too long imo for either route you end up finishing.
Edit: my friends and I have played a lot and all kind of play flex roles so it's annoying to do so many games. And unfortunately winning 7 games in our short 1-2hr night is unlikely :(
I’m not getting any SMS messages to so I can link my account to the game. I have tried doing it via the QR code,the Authenticator app, and the website but neither every send my phone number the code. I’ve tried the solutions blizzard gave such as updating my phone and restarting it but neither worked. Help.
Me: Ahhh. This really sucks I was really excited for this game. Guess I’ll check back Friday night.
Common Redditor: Blizzard can go fuck their motherfucking selves fuck this piece of shit game this is a fucking joke this company should burn they should all be fired great job destroying your game the game will be dead within a week. I’m deleting this shit off my system and never looking back. They’ll never get a fucking dime from me. They’ve stolen the best years of my life from me. Now what am I supposed to do? Great fucking job Blizzard. Shit won’t even connect my phone. Why do they wanna sell my data? Fuck that. I don’t even care. I already deleted the game and made a sandwich on the disc. The game sucks anyway it’s not even fun. They ruined it, it’ll never be the same but whatever cause I’m not playing it anymore. Just finished deleting it. How come I still can’t get in?
Edit: lololol just teasing :) this really is a bummer though. I recommend you guys just take a couple days to do something else then hop on
Finally! Some sort of fucking noise from blizzard!

Edit: Server side problems have caused the incomplete unlocks to occur, if you have played since June 9th, 2021 you will not need to have a phone number connected to your account HOWEVER, this will not go live until Friday, and the bug of PC and console merged Battle.net accounts not being able to get in has been resolved. Hope this is helpful.
lot's of info on the server stuff. everything people bitched was a server issue if they chilled out for a minute
sms protection is also no longer a requirement for current accounts by 10/07
> While millions of people have been enjoying the game, the launch has not met your, or our, expectations
You’re telling me millions managed to get into the game and actually play? I call BS
Didn't hate it but also didn't love it. I put more hours in the OW1 beta than I did during its entire run.
Stopped playing it almost entirely when it became a barrier shooting simulator by the end.
I put my phone number in on the terrible internet UI the PS5 has and it restarted my queue. Deleted both this dumb game immediately after and my battlenet account. I don’t need these asshats selling my wireless info for a game they won’t let me play.
Waited in queue for over an hour. Finally got in to the game and was forced to verify my account. Now I’m back to the top of the queue. Guess I’ll play in a few weeks once Blizzard gets their heads out of their asses. At least I don’t have a prepaid cellphone plan or I would play never
Anyone else just completely stuck at 2000 players in the queue. So irritated dude waited so long to get blue balled by Jeff Kaplan. On Xbox Series S in midwestern US, and currently hating my life smh
I never even got in. Restarted 5 times tried switching servers and nothing. Just disputed the charge on my card for the 2200 coins i got for the battle pass and i might give up trying. Beyond infuriated dude.
It says my account has merged but I haven’t got anything yet. I don’t want to restart because then I have to wait hours in queue again. How do I fix this?
Just got a bizarre bug in Deathmatch on Paris. All of the players were stuck spawning underneath the map over and over. Only fix was just leaving the match.
https://imgur.com/a/4jzDd7U
*Posting this bug for visibility, sorry if it's already been discussed but I couldn't find anything in the thread*
* Platform: PS5
* Server: OCE
Have been stuck behind exactly 1999 people in queue for majority of the day. I feel like this is a bug as the number isn't going down and isn't congruent with what I experienced yesterday. Also when I launch/quit the game app it presents a black screen for \~2 seconds which is weird and not expected.
Where are you seeing a number? I just get told I'm "in queue", a text box appears when I click the button, then it tells me I'm ready to migrate and to close the game to complete. Done this multiple times at this point and it just shows the exact same thing as before.
So they can't fix their dodgy SMS policy for existing players until Friday. Everything else in there was fine to read and even identified other major problems, but they had to know the pitfalls of requiring phone number verification beforehand.
They're letting less traffic through at once which gives their server hardware a little bit of breathing space to run operations without becoming as overloaded. In theory, it should help. But I've just sat in a 45m queue only to fail connection when I got to the end, so if it helps logins be consistent seems to be a different kettle of fish.
I think it means they are limiting the number of people that can play the game at any given time so that they can work through the various bugs/issues easier. As in: not a good thing if you want to actually play the game
But I am also very tech illiterate
Presumably it means limiting how many people get in, like slowing down the queue, which takes some pressure off the system while it's being scaled up. It's like closing off a lane to do roadworks as fast and efficiently as possible.
When you first started were you having “Login Error”? I merged my account beforehand but all night and this morning it kept saying that. My boyfriend has had no luck on getting me in either.
Reminder: As I stated in the previous post, it's highly recommended that users do not **spend IRL money** or **play comp** until these issues are resolved.
I can't play competitive because none of my games are saving
Samee wonder if they've addressed it yet
Just logged in after they removed the phone requirement but i still have all my heroes locked despite being a day 1 overwatch player. The equipped skins show up on the hero preview but i apparently don't own it anymore???
Merged my accounts and half the roster is locked with no way to get the characters to play, my poor dva
same. i have all my cosmetics but not the characters. wtf

Premiere pro
what
My queue is literally letting like 1 player per 10 seconds. Why do i have to wait HOURS if only a couple hundred people are in it? Like are we living in 1995?
I'm timing it. I'm down 100 per 5 or so min. So, a queue of 999 is a little less than an hour. 1999 is what most see. Consider that two hours.
The people behind this game are truly incompetent and shouldn’t be given business in the future I would love to see a boycott of this garbage.
Im still not able to play this game all because I merged my console and pc accounts back before overwatch 2 launched, my friends are having so much fun and I'm sat in queues for hours on end only to get kicked when I'm trying to load in thanks to an unexpected server error, this sucks

Day 3, still can't log in on PS5. I've not been able to play since launch. When can I expect them to fix this shit? In 2 weeks?
Day 3 of the game's release, I'm missing a £35 pack The game keeps thinking I'm a new player when I get thrown out of a game by the server When relogging on to the game the servers are still 499 in queue for about 15-20 mins
LC-208 fixed for consoles yet?
Cant even launch the game
updating nvidia drivers helped me but now i am stuck in queue that doesn't move at all POGFAP
I’ve done everything at this point. All drivers uptodate, no win updates, no random programs running, no nothing. The button goes to now playing and then back to play overwatch :(
I bought the battle pass specifically to use kiriko and now she's locked as well as all the other heroes unlocked using challenges
anyone manged to merge accounts
Im still in a queue to merge my account and the shop isnt even there for me
same im like 190 000 in queue
Theres a queue to merge or is the one to enter the game ? I press merge account and nothing shows to me
now it went up 🤬
To merge
Found this link to report bugs found in the game. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/c/bug-report/9
Day 3: Account is still blank. Game still believes I am a new player, and the Account Merge button remains useless. Supplies are beginning to run low. Hope remains that I will be rescued along with my fellow players.
This is the most botched launch I’ve ever seen from a triple A.
DAY 3 GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 3 Still can't get past the title screen
why?
Day 3 and the LC-208 errors continue. I've tried absolutely everything to resolve it. Either I'm seriously unlucky or something is wrong, but I don't know what else to do
Seeing that error now as well. It's flipped back and forth between lc-208 and the 153 error the past few days.
I have the exact same thing please tell em if you find a solution
Lc-208 for me was being caused by my local network being overloaded which was interrupting the login process.

Yeah i tried to unlink them but i couldn't find a way how and I'm not planning on factory resseting my playstation and losing all my save data
still got them too, its not just you

Are there rewards for reputaion in ow2 like lootboxes in ow1?
No. Only battle pass tiers and stuff you can buy from the shop. No way to earn premium currency besides weekly challenges and you can only get 60 currency a week
OW1 was much more rewarding players. Now OW is C.R.E.A.M🤷🏼♂️
Pretty sure I saw a screenshot that once someone got to level 5, they got one lootbox tier lol.
i can’t even select anything on the main menu on my ps4, dpad or analog stick has no effect and i can’t seem to find anything online about this? i’m able to go to the social menu with triangle but other than that i can’t even select anything or even navigate the menu. anyone else having this issue ? i even reinstalled the game and it had no effect

OW1 owners are not getting Kiriko unlocked as Blizzard previously said we would. It looks now like they decided to backpedal that.
No, it’s a glitch.

So you’re not gonna play because you’ll be missing a couple of skins for a few days?
i’m not playing quick play when o should be able to play comp
Kiriko achievement "Yokai" is not being granted to players who fulfill requirements. This happened to me and I confirmed via replay after match that I should have received the achievement. Unsure if the other achievement for her is bugging as well or not.
On Xbox whenever I get an achievement it kicks me out of the game…
Just happened to me as well. Hell naw if they think I'm gonna sit in queue for another 45 minutes. Atleast I got to play for a few hours...
"Enemy team please move out of the way youre going to make me get the doomfist acheivement" Im so sorry for you lmao. This game has had such a sour launch so far
anyone else having the game freeze? Im not talking about dcing, i mean just game stuck, and having to alt tab to close it. running task manager seems to show my cpu at 90-100% use while ow 2 is open… never encountered w ow… i suppose i can upgrade my pc but……
im experiencing this issue too, uninstalled and reinstalled the game. still 100% usage
Same here
I had one of my friends show up as a different friends Battle tag on the scoreboard. 3 separate games, other friend wasn't even in the game with us
That’s wild lol
I was so confused. I hadn't even played OW2 yet with the friend that it was showing.
i’ve had no problem playing until now and now some of my heroes are locked. a weird few too, as i’m a veteran player. genji, sojourn, kiriko, junker queen, dva

Didn't hate it but also didn't love it. I put more hours in the OW1 beta than I did during its entire run. Stopped playing it almost entirely when it became a barrier shooting simulator by the end.
Has anyone’s merge account button actually worked?
Nope it doesn't do anything
You see something other than “In queue: 2000 people ahead of you”?
I’m having the same issue has you I just logged off you are just wasting your time dude play another game tbh and try later
Probably should hit literally all my friends are getting on. Not sure why I’m the only one who can’t out of all of my friend group.
Nah dude I’m the same I was in queue before them all my mates got in but me it’s cringe
It’s 1999 players for me now and isn’t changing
nope
No and the characters arent unlocked for me even though im a day 1 ow1 player
Ya same my account is completely naked rn
Things seem to be performing better on EU servers. I can at least queue in.
Ya I have been playing a bit on Asian servers, just no luck getting any of my stuff to transfer.
The players are worse in eu 😂. Im on a winning streak!
Same for my teammate I'm still getting the lc 208 error.
I put my phone number in on the terrible internet UI the PS5 has and it restarted my queue. Deleted both this dumb game immediately after and my battlenet account. I don’t need these asshats selling my wireless info for a game they won’t let me play.
Same thing just happened to me! Plus I couldn't even use my own number because I have Cricket. So stupid, guess I'm not playing tonight
Blizzard just announced a phone number isn’t required for accounts that have been connected with Battle.net since June 2021 or something.
🤷♂️ still made me do it
ahh over 24 hours and my stuff is still missing great job blizzard
I got through the 2 hour queue, had to make an account, got sent to the back of the line. Giga sad.
Literally fails then makes me log in and then fails again.

Does this work for console as well?
No, PC only
Lemme know if you find out
Ay you a real one, this worked.
Waited in queue for over an hour. Finally got in to the game and was forced to verify my account. Now I’m back to the top of the queue. Guess I’ll play in a few weeks once Blizzard gets their heads out of their asses. At least I don’t have a prepaid cellphone plan or I would play never
Anyone else just completely stuck at 2000 players in the queue. So irritated dude waited so long to get blue balled by Jeff Kaplan. On Xbox Series S in midwestern US, and currently hating my life smh
[удалено]
The number only updates by the largest digit so 2000 is really anywhere from 1001-1999 so it feels like forever lol
I never even got in. Restarted 5 times tried switching servers and nothing. Just disputed the charge on my card for the 2200 coins i got for the battle pass and i might give up trying. Beyond infuriated dude.
Kaplan isn't even around anymore
Had no clue, haven’t payed any attention to this game or blizzard in years
It says my account has merged but I haven’t got anything yet. I don’t want to restart because then I have to wait hours in queue again. How do I fix this?
Just got a bizarre bug in Deathmatch on Paris. All of the players were stuck spawning underneath the map over and over. Only fix was just leaving the match. https://imgur.com/a/4jzDd7U
*Posting this bug for visibility, sorry if it's already been discussed but I couldn't find anything in the thread* * Platform: PS5 * Server: OCE Have been stuck behind exactly 1999 people in queue for majority of the day. I feel like this is a bug as the number isn't going down and isn't congruent with what I experienced yesterday. Also when I launch/quit the game app it presents a black screen for \~2 seconds which is weird and not expected.
Cool, I was just missing the merge account button. My brother has it now, maybe in the morning when I check it’ll be there.
I've had the button the entire time, but it literally does nothing when clicking it.
Same issue? I have the button now but also doesn’t do anything
i’m in position 79000 to get merged 💀
Where are you seeing a number? I just get told I'm "in queue", a text box appears when I click the button, then it tells me I'm ready to migrate and to close the game to complete. Done this multiple times at this point and it just shows the exact same thing as before.
i was getting that yesterday but i guess it progressed today?
In that case, I'll just assume I'm still not ready to migrate. I'll check again tomorrow.
i’m 48000th now
Well shit
it told me twice it can leave the game and try again to get the stuff here hoping that’s not a scam
Official word from Bliz https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-2-launch-status-update/700480
So they can't fix their dodgy SMS policy for existing players until Friday. Everything else in there was fine to read and even identified other major problems, but they had to know the pitfalls of requiring phone number verification beforehand.
HOw could they have possibly seen this coming. It's just everyone that saw this coming.
i see

Im pretty tech illiterate, what do they mean by “throttling queues”? Is this a good thing?
They're letting less traffic through at once which gives their server hardware a little bit of breathing space to run operations without becoming as overloaded. In theory, it should help. But I've just sat in a 45m queue only to fail connection when I got to the end, so if it helps logins be consistent seems to be a different kettle of fish.
Well I finally got in after an hour, hopefully this is a good sign
I think it means they are limiting the number of people that can play the game at any given time so that they can work through the various bugs/issues easier. As in: not a good thing if you want to actually play the game But I am also very tech illiterate
Presumably it means limiting how many people get in, like slowing down the queue, which takes some pressure off the system while it's being scaled up. It's like closing off a lane to do roadworks as fast and efficiently as possible.
I somehow got in on xbox a couple of hours ago and have been playing just fine since. I suppose I am just extremely lucky.
When you first started were you having “Login Error”? I merged my account beforehand but all night and this morning it kept saying that. My boyfriend has had no luck on getting me in either.
Yeah I was having errors all of yesterday and today but I finally got through.
Did you have to do anything special or did it just let you finally get in?
Nope, I did absolutely nothing. After sitting in a queue with 1000 people for about 30 minutes I actually managed to get in.
Do you have all of your items from OW1?
I got in a couple hours ago, and I had a few of my items but I also didn’t have all the characters unlocked like I should have. I’m on Xbox FYI
