Multiple problems have overshadowed one of the most anticipated launches of 2022. After several delays and the purchase of the company at the hands of Microsoft, it was announced that on October 4 the servers of Overwatch 2 for all consoles. Unfortunately, the experience of gamers has not been the best.
If you install the game, the first thing you will see is a loading screen indicating the huge queue of players who want to enter. Initially, Blizzard announced that it was a DDoS attack.
“The teams are hard at work on the Overwatch 2 server issues. We are humbled by the excitement from players and will continue to focus on the issues and get players into the fun. Thank you for your patience”, explained Mike Ybarra via social networks.
However, this version has been questioned after the phone number filter has been put in place to be able to enter with a two-step verification and that it has been two days with the same problems.
Through the game’s official blog, Blizzard shared some measures they are taking.
“LOur servers will be down while we implement a fix to address some bugs related to account combination, login, and first time user experience. Players will not be able to access the servers during this time”, reads about the measure from 3 to 4 in the afternoon of October 6 in PDT time.
From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. the same day (PDT), they shared the following update: “we are making significant updates to our databases to address player queues. Players will not be able to access the servers during this time”.
The protection system by telephone number will be withdrawn
“We designed Overwatch 2 to be a live service, which allows us to respond to a variety of player feedback. We have made the decision to remove phone number requirements for most existing Overwatch players. Any Overwatch player with an account battle.net connected, which includes all players who have played since June 9, 2021, you will not have to provide a phone number to play. We are working on making this change and expect it to be available on Friday, October 7. We will update the players once it is live”.
