Anyone else constantly getting a little orange circle with thunderbolt flashing up at the left side of their screen?

No idea what it is.

I saw something like this when I was having a laggy game... Just had a look for info on it now and apparently.....

Thunderbolt is problems with client to server connectivity and Files/sheets is packet loss.

It's insane how well the launch night went. How many games crumble on the opening week as the servers take a hammering?

I was able to play for like 3 hours on the first night from the minute the servers went live.

Really enjoying this

Did you used to play CS 1.6?

WoW's login servers for one.

Although those days are long gone and they've probably started downsizing WoW and reallocating.

Servers may be great but my internet has decided to go on one of it's random crapshoots and drop out every 20 minutes since Tuesday. Great timing!

Not forgetting the diablo 3 debacle either.

Blizzard invited me to an Overwatch all-stars event in London. Made a video from it

All stars? The game has been out less than a bloody week....... Nothing 'all star' about it, just streamers being brown nosed to advertise the game.

Did you even look at the video? it's YouTubers who are already very popular and personalities with MBE's. "All-Stars" doesn't refer to them as professional players, it was first time hands on for some.
Also it's not "brown nosing" to get personalities to play the game at an event, I think you'll find it's called marketing and Blizzard are doing a spectacular job of it.

Looked like a nice fun event

Cool cosplay from those three doing Zen/Tracer/Widowmaker, also the goodies sounded awesome. Nice to hear there's more maps coming too.

Anyone tried a controller on the PC with this? I know kb/m is always going to be better, but I'm having some problems with a badly healed wrist, so it would be nice if I could swap out to a controller every now and again, and not be totally gimped.

Not tried, but I know it's possible

- if you do play, let me know how you get on

Had my best game so far as Lucio (well, since launch, not counting beta). 10.6k healing, 5.6k damage, 35% weapon accuracy, 20 eliminations, 14 objective kills. 0 votes at end

Great fun though!

If you ended up with that many eliminations then my bets on a lot of those being counted from the team mates that actually got the eliminations while you where giving either heal or speed buff.

Still nothing from Blizzard about it yet. >>> PCMR thread regarding the issue <<<
