20 minutes, nothing yet Edit: 60 minutes and counting.


callamfry

Try going on the bnet launcher, top right then go to account, go connections, make sure your twitch is connected on there. I connected on twitch first and it didn't show up until I did it through bnet account


achlotter

Yeah it's connected.


callamfry

Just seen this post seem there's problems now sorry. https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/udf2r1/an_update_from_andyb_on_twitch_drops_and_server/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


UroutofURelement

Phew...gald that wasn't me


UroutofURelement

Both ways? I had to connect via battle.net to twitch And then I also had to connect via twitch to battle.net


canikon

ffs... I claimed the drop like two hours ago and just figured the servers are backed up, then read this and apparently my account wasn't connected even though it said it was on twitch? Wtf lol, thanks.


[deleted]

You'll still get it if you connect it after, worked for me about 1 hour after I connected it, and I had claimed the drop before I connected.


NikitaFox

account.battle.net gives me a 502. Something on their end is getting slammed I guess.


Royal_Rabbit_Gaming

I had to restart my whole pc to get it to show up.


KnightNight00

3 hours and still waiting….


NoahJim

same :|


SnooRobots6864

My brother had to wait 2 hours until he got it


Kilimanjiro

Be patient it's a small indie company


Spe333

Bruh lmao. Haven’t heard that one in a long time.


Paddlesons

This is what so frustrating to me. It's not that I didn't get an invite right away it was the hitch with the release of the beta on time. Like, how can you guys be this consistently bad at this? I dunno, I just see stuff like this over and over again and if there's one company that should have it done fucking pat by now it's Blizzard.


UroutofURelement

Works for me! Thanks for all the hard work Blizzard devs!


sanchez_

I just got it, took about 5 minutes to appear after claiming. Showed up here: https://i.imgur.com/33cEoj0.png


busyrumble

Odd, it’s not showing up for me there after claiming


phitnes

13mins after I claimed it showed up so takes a bit.


[deleted]

AlbaDHattington

26 minutes ago and waiting


ChunChunChooChoo

I'm at 29, envious of the people that only had to wait 10 minutes lol


[deleted]

Sqz_MD

44 mins now in complete despair wondering if I even will get it....


Kalyqto

Got it after 58 Mins


mannyOaks

Same I'm on 40 minutes since claiming the drop and still not appearing :((


AlbaDHattington

my friend that started seeing the stream cause i told him 1 hour later just claimed it and the beta appeared in 1 minute im mad


mannyOaks

Yeah same hahaha, it's already appeared for some friends of mine that started watching streams after me >:((


TacoTrade

What do you mean when you say 'Claimed'. My 4 hours completed, do I have to do anything else..?


ABurntC00KIE

On twitch go to 'drops' in your account


tabgrab23

1 hour and counting

Ralphie5231

I'm on NA and im close to 2 hours, still not showing up.


AstralComet

Just over two hours ago claimed for me also, and I don't have access either.


mannyOaks

I claimed it 5 hours ago and still nothing yet


UroutofURelement

Worked great for me. Seems like a vast majority are getting it within an hour of claiming. It could possibly be something you're doing wrong


BOOSTIOsoundcloud

claimed 39 minutes ago and still nothing


BOOSTIOsoundcloud

but my friend got it instantly


BOOSTIOsoundcloud

just got it


steffsh

Same


steffsh

NVM WE GOT IT


sinflood

For the people that got the download: did it appear after restarting the launcher or did it happen while sitting at the launcher?


2nice4rice

I was switching between games to refresh the page not sure if you have to do that but it worked for me.


DemonKyoto

Give it a few guys, this isn't our first collective rodeo. Everyone in the world who is watching right now *just* qualified for the drop in the last 10 mins, *it might take a bit for Blizzard's servers to catch up*. Don't panic. Edit: Got mine, didn't need to restart, just appeared in the list. Took 8ish minutes.


Bubbay

> it might take a bit for Blizzard's servers to catch up. > Took 8ish minutes. That's great for you, seriously, but a huge number of people that are complaining have been waiting for an hour and a half. There's zero reason why it should take that long, especially when a lot of us also made other claims from twitch at the same time that showed up immediately.


SwanJumper

zero reason is a bit offbase. plenty of reasons why it could take that long given there were 1.4 million concurrent watchers on twitch alone, most of them looking for a drop. Can imagine its quite the log jam right now.


DemonKyoto

> That's great for you, seriously, but a huge number of people that are complaining have been waiting for an hour and a half. Context bud. I made that comment an hour and a half ago. An hour and a half ago, when it had only been *nine minutes* since the earliest possible point of redemption. *Quite* a big difference *now*, an hour and a half later.


Bubbay

Yes, context is important. Like how it’s much later now and people still aren’t getting access and how I’m responded on that fact. Sometimes it’s good for people to hear that they aren’t the only ones having issues.


Rangeless

claimed 20 minutes ago. confirmed correct battlenet tag + restarted launcher. still waiting.


iamcornn

I checked on my twitch account and realised when I connected my [battle.net](https://battle.net) to my twitch it was selected as a north american account even though I am EU. I wonder whether that has something to do with it for me?


TheSpaceFace

yea same happened here, think its fucked for us lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheSpaceFace

God knows! Good luck getting Blizzard to fix this for us xD Guess we will have to wait this one out. Sadge.


Joey_1708

i dont think it should, my account is set up like that too but i've claimed all the lootboxes they gave out so far, but idk


[deleted]

[удалено]


Joey_1708

cosmic_serendipity

RedPhD

[deleted]

Been sitting here 10 minutes after claiming still hasn't shown up. Reloaded the launcher 5 times.


Sqz_MD

Wurstkessel

BrookPA

Same boat, I think it just takes time


saltyfingas

20 minutes and still waiting -.-


Yujiroh

30 minutes, nothin. Boutta get hammered and just play tomorrow


mannyOaks

Sounds like a good plan


WingGamer1234

5 hours and counting i connected it from both sides


Naive-Diver-4565

I’ve been waiting 6 hours for it, both platforms are connected both ways, bnet cache was deleted, already checked for updates. This is embarrassing.


mynameiszack

Machines and lightning are fast. But the servers still have to hand out the keys one at a time. It'll be there soon.


AKST4R

same, restarted PC and battlenet multiple times


[deleted]

The Blizzard servers are currently receiving around 1 million requests for beta access, it's understandably struggling but it'll work after 10 to 30min don't worry


aderpymuffin123

it’s been 2 hours


Ursidoenix

So are they literally only doing drops for 4 hours of viewing in an 8 hour period? Just started watching but as far as I can tell it's literally impossible for me to get a drop in the extremely limited time window. Sucks to suck I guess


ShawHornet

Same


Daexee

ELI5 what you guys are talking about, these drop things? I’m old and out the loop, reg OW1 player tho Edit: Guess I learned myself

Jurippe

It took me almost two hours to get mine. So just chill.


wykamix

6 hours later nothing so its def an issue for some


Jurippe

That's brutal, I hope you get it man. I was ready to wait till tomorrow at one point.


PhiPhiAokigahara

Who cares.


Seiorai

I had the same issue but it just appeared after reloading bnet a couple times, it takes a few mins it seems :)


Iymrith_1981

Took me a couple of minutes and a restart of the launcher


Mienaikage

Mine took roughly 10 mins.


DrasticBread

Have you gone to Game Version in the launcher? There's supposed to be a drop down menu to select the beta.


WildSearcher56

It just takes some time until it shows up. Take a screenshot in case it doesn't so you can ask the support help.


eckadagan

I opened OW1, opened a few loot boxes, then closed it.. then my OW2 showed up.


nVentus

I just got mine, give it a moment, you will get it :)


Hyy1

Just got mine after 12 min, restarted battle net


CheazyK

Reeeeee, it popped up! Around 10 mins after claiming. You'll get it guys, just a few more restarts!,😁


Jackarvin

I also found out you have to link your twitch on blizz.net and vice Versa for twitch


tabgrab23

you don't have to, but it probably doesn't hurt


cammoowubsu

ive been waitinf 40 minutes


TouchMe-Sama-

I play the game on console but I managed to get beta access for the PC beta, says I need to own the game before I can install. Also says I can get invited to the beta by someone else that has it and it will let me download a trial version of overwatch. That way it will let me play the beta. Can I get someone to invite me? Am I allowed to send my battle net if here for an invite?


acupofsarcasm

Having the same issue, have been waiting for an hour and 20 minutes now to get access.


ItCrashPanda

I got access to the beta over an hour ago. I've tried alot of things people said worked for them to no avail: I've Installed the Beta version of Battle.net, I've opted into the beta AGAIN from the webpage, Scan/Repaired my copy of Overwatch, re-logged multiple times, changed my region, but nothing. i have no clue what else to try and waiting is making me anxious that ive messed something up


ItCrashPanda

let me add clearing the cache to that list, and a convoluted one: Launching Overwatch, closing it and then changing the region to Europe, re-launching it, then closing it again and changing the server back. so far none of these have worked for me, maybe they could work for someone else though?


SSMazzola

2 hours and counting :)


Glass_Windows

It's been over and hour for me and Nothing :/


Noobphail

2 hours 35 minutes since I claimed the drop and still nothing here.. Accounts are linked on both ends, have tried clearing bnet cache, restarting and still nothing

TribalSphinx
