Why is my ping so high in Overwatch 2?
Your ping is too high in Overwatch 2 because you are connected to an area far away from your location.
Also, if you connect to Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet, you will have higher ping.
Finally, it can also happen if the Overwatch 2 server goes down.
If you are living in Singapore, you should connect to the “Asia” region.
On the other hand, if you are living in the United States, you should connect to the “Americas” region.
This will ensure that you have the highest ping in the game.
Many players complain about high ping in Blizzard forums.
“Hi. In the last game, everyone was getting ping spikes, some over 320 milliseconds due to disconnections during the match.”
“I’m having the same problem and it’s not just on Quick Play. It happens with all game modes, including Practice Range.”
“Yep, it’s been like this for over an hour. “Error starting game” on all game modes. Sometimes it starts, but with 300+ pings and all the heroes are wobbling.”
How to fix high ping in Overwatch 2
To fix high ping in Overwatch 2, you need to select an area close to your location.
If you’re already connected to Wi-Fi, you’ll need to use Ethernet instead.
For example, if you are living in the United States, you should connect to the “Americas” region.
If changing your region fails, it means the servers are down and you need to wait for them to be backed up.
Overwatch 2’s last server outage lasted about 3 hours.
Blizzard shares update on Twitter @BlizzardCS And @PlayOverwatch.
Fix 1: Change your region
- Open the Battle.net desktop app.
- Select “Overwatch 2”.
- Click the globe icon.
- Select an area close to your location (for example, select “Asia” if you are living in Asia).
- Launch Overwatch 2.
Fix 2: Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi
- Get an Ethernet cable (if you don’t have an Ethernet cable, you need to buy one).
- Connect an Ethernet cable to your PC and to your wall outlet.
Fix 3: Wait for the server to back up
- Check if Overwatch 2 is down on DownDetector or Twitter.
- If there is a large spike, it means the server is down (and you will experience high ping).
- If the servers are down, you need to wait a few hours for them to come back up.
- The last power outage lasted about 3 hours.
