DDoS attacks behind the connection problems at launch, says Blizzard – Nerd4.life

New updates arrive for the situation of Overwatch 2which just launched had several problems in terms of stability and connection, preventing many players from entering the game: apparently, part of these inconveniences would also be due to DDoS attacks suffered on the day of release.

“We are making rapid progress on server and stability issues as we try to fix the second DDoS attack,” he wrote in particular. Aaron Keller, game director of Overwatch 2 at Blizzard. “We are continuously working and will continue to do so overnight. Thank you for your patience, we will share more information as it becomes available.”

Indeed, Overwatch 2 was unattainable for many users yesterday, with the servers being stormed and various access problems. These were thought to be mainly due to the overcrowding of users on the platform, which is probably also true, but behind there were also various DDoS attacks carried out by strangers against Blizzard’s servers to further complicate matters.

Among the problems detected in the past few hours, there is the “Unexpected server error” that can appear when trying to connect, the fact that some cosmetic items, objects and currencies do not appear in the collection of users and sudden disconnection in the game. We therefore await possible solutions and the stabilization of the situation by the developers, who are obviously trying to solve flaws that also come through hacker attacks.

Recall that Overwatch 2 is available from yesterday, October 4, 2022, and that at the moment it has received excellent ratings but with some exceptions from the critics.
