Overwatch 2 replays not working
Overwatch 2 players are currently struggling to get access to their replays. Although it may seem unimportant for some, many Overwatch players enjoy seeing how they performed in their matches. Some players even like to make compilations of all their clips whenever they did something particularly cool in a match.
How to fix Overwatch 2 replays not working
Given below are some of the available methods on how to fix the replays not working issue in Overwatch 2.
- Play in the practice range
Players can try playing in the practice range for a short while. This may help reset the issue and refresh their replays. Players can try this fix for as long as they want although it isn’t a hundred percent guarantee.
- Check for updates
Players who haven’t updated their Overwatch game in a while should try checking for new updates. Sometimes, just performing a quick update can fix any underlying issue. Players can check for updates using the settings cog located next to the play button. They can then press on the download button if an update is available and then check their replays folder.
- Scan and repair
Overwatch 2 players can also try scanning and repairing their files as a safe bet to fix any issue. Sometimes, small problems like a file getting corrupted and needing replacement, could also be the problem.
- Clear stored cache
Players can also try clearing their stored cache which could help if in case any of your caches are corrupted. Players needn’t worry about deleting their stored cache, as it will be updated with new files.
- Play a game
Playing a match in a competitive, arcade, or unranked game may help in bringing back your Overwatch 2 replays. This particular fix has worked well for a lot of people. However, this again isn’t a permanent fix, and players may encounter the same issue after logging out and logging in.
- Wait it out
The last and final option is to simply wait it out for the Overwatch 2 replays. This is however, a last resort in case all the other fixes have failed and it can last anywhere from five minutes to thirty minutes.
All the above given fixes for Overwatch 2 replays not working are not permanent fixtures but the ones currently available. Players who do not find the above fixes useful may have to wait a little while longer for new patches.
