I got the same issues in the UK. Right now every single game I try to play lags right at the start and all throughout the game to the point that I have to try to relog but that does not seem to fix anything. I was in one game, people could still type to each other but half of both team players were lagging. Interesting how that can be anything but a Blizz servers issue.
This has gotten a lot worse since I opened this thread. I’m getting 3-6 drops per hour.
So weird. Game drops but I can still voice chat with my group.
Needles to say that Partner aren’t inclined to help and will not contact blizzard.
dont pay for the “gamer” service. it will make it worse for u.
I tried to fix the packet loss for 3 months and in the end the problem was the gamer service of partner.
so first of all start with removing this service.
I dont lose connections to the servers. or packet loss where the game freeze.
since yesterday I have a little bit of ping spikes (ping spikes by like 15+/-, from 87 to 100 then back to normal (using ETH cable).
right now I am just waiting to see if it gets fixed by itself. I dont think there is anything I can do, its 100% not my internet since everything works fine outside overwatch.
it must be something in the way to blizzard server.
dont wanna jinx it, but i think it is finally fixed
stopped using vpn and there were no dc’s so far,
i can happily say its very much playable now : )
thanks
