Fix: BC-153 Error Code in Overwatch 2
Last Updated on October 8, 2022 by Sam
Since the release of Overwatch 2, players have come across quite a few error codes, one of which is the login error LC-208, and now there is also the error code BC-153. Players have also come across several other error codes. This one can be annoying because it prevents you from joining a game for some time after you try to do so. In this tutorial, we will investigate the cause of the error that you are experiencing as well as the steps that you can take to possibly resolve the issue.
Overwatch 2 BC-153 Error Code Fix
Because of connection problems, which are the cause of the OW 2 error code BC-153, you won’t be able to immediately join a match after starting the game. This could be because of issues with the server (here is how to check the current status of the Overwatch 2 servers), or it could be because of your internet connection.
Check your internet connection
If you feel that your internet connection is unstable, you should reset your router. The next thing you should do is determine whether or not you can participate in other online multiplayer games such as Valorant or Apex Legends. If that is functioning as expected, there is a good chance that there are some problems with Overwatch. In a situation like this one, you should wait some time and then attempt to log in again. After a few attempts, you might finally be able to enter the building.
Change your Server Region
In many cases, the problems with the server could be traced to a specific region. From this location, you can change the region of the Battle.net server, and then check to see if you can connect to the game and play without any disruptions.
Update the Game
If it’s a bug, the devs release patches to fix them. So make sure you have the latest update of OW 2 on your PC or console.
How to Update OW2
- PC players can open up the Battle.net client and find the Gear icon and check for updates from there.
- PS players need to press the Options button on the controller and check for game updates.
- Xbox players need to open the My Games and Apps section > find Overwatch 2 > More Options > Manage Games and Add Ons > choose Updates.
- Nintendo Switch players need to press the + button on the console > Software Update > Via the Internet.
Check Background Apps
PC players have the responsibility of ensuring that only Overwatch 2 is consuming their available bandwidth. Check to see that no other applications are running in the background that are using your data or any other resources. Try logging into OW 2 once more after closing all other applications, then setting OW2’s priority using the task bar’s drop-down menu.
Check if Firewall or Antivirus is Blocking Access
Another thing that PC players need to check is whether or not their firewall or antivirus software is preventing them from connecting to the game servers. You can eliminate this problem by turning them off or adding OW2 to a whitelist.
