Overwatch 2 isn’t off to the best start, considering that numerous issues are creating massive server problems for the vast majority of players. From being unable to play with friends , to not playing in any way, OW2 isn’t exactly living the hype. It’s hoped that everything will be fine when the developers make improvements however, until then players will be left disappointed.
One of the most annoying issues is when players are put in the queue before they are given the right to start playing. Many players see an error message saying that there are zero players in front on them and then that number to increase to at least 2,000. In this case it will be displayed in a text that reads:
Overwatch 2 seemingly pushing players further back in queue
The video game releases are usually unstable and glitch-ridden nowadays. Whatever the reasons, video games get shipped out to players and have bugs that must be addressed or have such a huge popularity that the large player base overwhelms servers. This could be the situation in the case of Overwatch 2.
There have been certain DDoS attacks that have caused more server problems than the developers had anticipated.
Players are having the most difficult wait in the queues trying to connect to servers on OW2 servers. The players will notice that they’re at the first in line and ready to play and will then be redirected back to just a few thousand slots in the line and finally being told to start again.
Players are becoming frustrated and have been on Twitter to voice their frustration about their position in the queue changing in such a drastic manner. Timelines are brimming with the words “2000 players ahead of you.”
It appears that 2,000 isn’t the only number that people are looking at However. There are some players who claim to start with no other players in front of them before slowly finding themselves at the bottom of the pack.
Blizzard through its Overwatch’s official Overwatch Twitter account, has revealed bugs and known issues in over the Overwatch 2 launch period. This is good news since fans are able to see that issues that are relevant are being addressed by the developers.
The issue of queues isn’t identified in the list of issues provided by the developers However, it might be included under the “Known Launch Issue” section that says “Some players experience server failures,” because the upgrade to 22,000 queue members usually follows by a connection error message.
