unplayable

[Eleccybubb]

Not working

May have to contact them if you can.

[Very Tired]

Getting a ton of skirmishes and waiting to play games.... Not sure how they have trouble finding players now of all times.

[Deleted]

Anyone else having "No overwatch license found" problem?

[Tenjen]

working fine and smooth for me.

[Kolvarg]

Took about ~15 mins or so to get in but after that just fine and smooth

/wave at everyone in the waitlist

[A Chozo]

Glad it was 15 min of delay. Then I went full Donkey Kong on those goddamn Widowmakers defending Route 66.

Yeah because these kinds of problems are Blizzard exclusive..

Never said those problems are Blizzard's exclusive. Of course other developers have weird launches too.

But this is a recurring problem that you can witness with Blizzard.

[Tharkkun]

C'mon, can some of you join the game already? I'm all alone in the only server, and oddly enough, even though nobody else is here, Bastion keeps getting the Play of the Game...

Never underestimate the power of a popular launch as it DDOS's itself!

[Schadow]

I don't know enough about networking, to know if it's outright impossible to prevent server overload from the mass incoming connections, one should think Blizzard has learned from previous launches and the amount of people trying the beta, that they could prepare.

Oh well, i was expecting this, guess i'll just play tommorow and get some sleep instead.

Well, it is preventable, but not easily.

You have servers and network devices dedicated to their role. So you have a part of login/authentication servers, actual content servers and any server for in the backend for hosting/storage. This is very layman terms btw, it's much more complicated.

If everyone (and Overwatch beta has hit 9 million) starts to log in (which is impossible), one part will be overloaded. You can negate that by choking it up with resources, but those resources will go to waste once people have logged in.

So no, not really possible unless you have a ton of money to spend.

legion beta on screen #1


no complains

You have TWO screens? WTF???? What kind of sorcery is that???????????????????????
