How to fix Overwatch 2 LC-208 disconnected from game server error

Overwatch 2's much-anticipated release is finally live, and fans of the franchise are flooding the game's servers. With long queue times and servers under DDOS attacks, the launch has been far from perfect. And The Overwatch 2 LC-208 Disconnect from game server error has ruined many players' experience. So if you find yourself facing this error after finally getting into a game, here are some solutions you can try.

When logging in to Overwatch 2, some players see the error message "Failed To Connect To Game Server. Please Try Again Later." This error might be caused by various things. It could be an issue with your internet connection, firewall or the game servers themselves.

Finally, Activision Blizzard devs are working to fix all issues with Overwatch 2 at launch. Needless to say the Disconnected from Game Server issue is a common one. If the above steps do not fix your issues check Blizzard’s official communication channels to see if there are any known issues or current maintenance.
