Overwatch keep losing connection to server

As the title suggests, I keep on losing connection to the server mid game. I can reconnect by entering my credentials on the login screen, but the issue still exist after logging back in.

The issue still exists and I cannot play any match for more than a minute. None of the game modes work except for Training Range.

I have been digging around the Overwatch tech support forums and nothing seems to work for me. The issue happens earlier today after the first one and a half hour.

Any help will be appreciated as I'm desperate to jump back in to the game again.


Solution 1:

I've had similar problems and the problem is usually my router or internet speed. As Overwatch requires a constant connection for your game to be in sync with the server, even dropping a few seconds of packets can make your client/the server believe you've lost connection and boot you out.

Check your internet speeds on speedtest.net or by Googling "speed test." If you get a poor result, consider upgrading your internet speeds. If you get a significantly faster and more consistent connection when plugged in to your router via ethernet, then consider upgrading your router first.
