How do I troubleshoot Overwatch issues?

1
Restart Battle.net and your game
Close Overwatch 2 completely, exit the Battle.net launcher, then restart both to clear temporary connection issues.
2
Check your internet connection
Run a speed test, restart your router, or switch to a wired connection to rule out local network problems.
3
Verify server region selection
Make sure you're connecting to the correct region (Americas, Europe, Asia) in the Battle.net launcher settings.

Disable firewall or VPN temporarily
Some firewalls or VPNs block Blizzard ports. Try disabling them briefly to see if connectivity improves.
