Overwatch 2 Update (October 7): LC-208, Account Merge, Matchmaking, and more fixed
Overwatch 2 officially launched last Tuesday, and unfortunately, it stumbled right out of the game. Over the next two days, the game servers were hit with DDoS attacks, which resulted in many players being stuck being unable to log in as well as several error codes.
After deploying a few fixes during the maintenance on October 6, Blizzard again took the Overwatch 2 servers down on the 7th to address a bunch of issues as pointed out by players and community members. With that being said, let's take a look at Friday, October 7th update to Overwatch 2.
The latest Overwatch 2 server update brought a lot of necessary changes. In the blog post, the Community manager shared all of the issues addressed so far and promised more fixes down the road. with that being said, let's take a look at all of the fixes for Overwatch 2.

Any PC player who ever played the original Overwatch has this requirement removed. If you have an active customer service ticket for SMS Protect but no longer need it due to this change, please close your tickets 460—this will help reduce our customer service queues and allow us to help other folks quicker.
