Overwatch keep losing connection to server

overwatchtechnical-issues

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.

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.
