Weird glitch/lag thing on console.
I play on my Xbox one, to preface this. Idk if this happens for anyone on other platforms (PC, PS, etc).
Sometimes when I'm playing the game, everything can go absolutely smoothly, but every few days, just once during a gaming sesh, the game randomly does this thing where I lag, get sent to the main screen (where unranked, comp, arcade, etc are) and then back to the loading screen. When I get back into the game I was playing, the HUD doesn't load, pings don't load, I can't see my bullets at all. All I can see in the character's hand and other players.
The audio is all still there, I can still use hero abilities, I can still shoot, but I can't hear my own gun (unless I'm playing Juno and I heal someone, I can hear the bullets hitting an ally). And for the rest of the game, it stays like that until it ends, which absolutely sucks because I kind of can't do anything. My reticle doesn't load either, so I don't even know when I'm hitting my shots 💔
This *just* happened to me. At first, I thought maybe the Arcade screen had refreshed gamemodes, but it didn't. I have no idea why this happens. It's happened to me maybe 3 or 4 times now in the past week or two, maybe more. It's *so* annoying because I feel useless. I main supp most of the time since I'm normally in Arcade for fun (something I rarely experience in OW) and this glitch thing lowkey (highkey) makes it hard to support my team.
I feel like Hellen Keller whenever it happens bruh 😭✌️🥀
