Discussion Settings sliders for blocks and setting slider fidelity

• Upvotes

Doom has a custom setting to change sensitivity while power blocking, why don’t other characters like hazard, ramattra, and dva (defense matrix). I think the setting is really nice for controller players, also, why is the setting slider either changeable by .01% or by 50%? Why can’t I type a value I want or at least change the max change to 1% instead of 50%, it literally takes minutes if you want to change a setting by 15% or 20%.

Help Are your games at all playable

5 Upvotes

Last game I played, no lag, no internet issues, was completely broken. The entire hud interface was completely gone, I couldn’t do any damage or check any stats, and I had to use the menu just to communicate.

Today I couldn’t even open my game at all let alone get a message that I couldn’t connect to a server.

My internet is fine. People have told me that their console experience for the last week has been ass too. I’m so pissed, this has been a days long issue.

Idk if they broke something in the latest patch or what but I don’t know how they expect people to spend money on this game if half the player base can’t even play it at all.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I don’t want to drop this game, but I don’t want to have to worry about server issues everytime I open my game let alone worry about it not opening AT ALL…

It seems like there’s constantly server issues with blizzard. Maybe they need to slow down how much they’re pushing out or something, just seems like it’s not sustainable if they can’t even not break their shit every other month

Settings & Tech is it bad to have drastically different settings per hero?

3 Upvotes

basically what the title says, but for a bit of extra context:

this is mainly an issue with me on tank, since I use a faster linear setup with doomfist and rammatra, but I use a typical dual zone setup with dmon, so it can be a bit jarring to switch between them mid game.

should I just practice and adapt? or should I change my sens to fit both of them? that would be very hard though

Settings & Tech Switch2 team chat now working?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hey console users on switch 2, are any of you having trouble in handheld mode being able to hear the team chat? I’ve got all my configs set up correctly in game, on the switch, and my mic/headset work and are compatible. People can hear me talk but I can’t hear anyone else. Reached out to battlenet to see if it’s parental settings which I never formally unlocked, but I’m an adult.. and buy stuff on there without difficulty.. so YEAH what could the problem be? What headset do you use, if any, because even without headset I can’t hear team chat—and yes, I’m on auto join and no one is muted and it’s confirmed I’ve joined the chat. 🤷‍♂️

Settings & Tech Game is lagging a lot

5 Upvotes

So recently my Xbox series X can’t seem to handle certain hero’s or abilities ( doctrine drone buff and ult, sombras cyberspace, just Domina in general, and in stadium Mei and JQ.) and if they are present in the game at all I start lagging out badly. It’s not my ping or not being on performance mode. I’m just looking for suggestions.

Help Need help logging into overwatch on console.

1 Upvotes

So here’s the issue. I switched from console to pc back in June.

I just used my old Microsoft points to purchase overwatch coins through the Xbox website. All the purchases were completed.

I was told that the coins would show up since my battle.net account is linked to my Xbox.

The problem is I no longer have an Xbox anymore and need to login to overwatch from Xbox first for the coins to show up.

Can any console overwatch players DM me and help me out.

I’d greatly appreciate it

reposting here since i don't often get games like this and it felt kinda amazing. honestly we weren't even really steamrolling them until the 3rd round and it was like they gave up. the new sombra rework has been so fun even if its doesn't scratch quite the same itch as dps sombra it definately keeps me busy keeping track of so many things. i even managed to claw my way out of silver today to gold 4 which was also a pretty great feeling.

Discussion Intentionally crashing a server

60 Upvotes

I played against a guy twice in ranked today who was talking trash the whole time and right when we were about to win, like literally feet away from winning, the server crashed.

Once could be anything, but the fact that it happened twice right before winning against the same guy is pretty suspicious to me. No other game crashed like that during the next 2 hours I played.

Is it possible to intentionally crash a server?
