🛠️ Immediate Fixes (Start Here)

1. Check Server Status

The first thing to check is whether the issue is on Blizzard’s end.

• Check the official Blizzard CS Twitter/X account for real-time announcements about server maintenance or outages.

• Look at Downdetector or search recent posts on the Overwatch 2 subreddit to see if many other players are reporting the same issue right now.

If the servers are down, you just have to wait.

If you are playing on PC, there have been historical reports of one launcher having issues while the other is fine.

• If you are on the Battle.net App, try the “Scan and Repair” tool:

  1. Open the Battle.net app.

  2. Select Overwatch 2.

  3. Click the Cogwheel icon (Settings) next to the Play button.

  4. Select Scan and Repair.

2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

5. Check Firewall/Security Software

Security programs can sometimes mistakenly block the game or the Battle.net service connection.

• Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus (just for a test!) and see if the disconnection stops.

• If that fixes it, you need to add both the Battle.net App and the Overwatch 2 game executable as exceptions to your firewall.

6. Update Drivers and Windows/Console OS

Ensure your network adapter and graphics drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can cause connectivity and stability problems.
