Playing games like Overwatch 2 with friends is always more enjoyable unless you are the one who always has to carry the team. While playing solo comes with its own set of difficulties, most players will agree that playing with friends is always better than playing with randoms.
Currently, with the recent release of the Mirrorwatch event, there's even more incentive to group up with friends and experiment with various team compositions.
All that being said, a lot of players have encountered a "player already changing groups" error when attempting to join a group. This issue can be frustrating to deal with, so we are here with possible solutions to it.
How to solve the "player already changing groups" error in Overwatch 2?
To bypass the "player already changing groups" error in Overwatch 2, you can try joining your friend directly from an invite on your gaming platform. This method often works because it circumvents the in-game menu that might be causing the error.
Here's how you can do this:
- Xbox: Have your friend send you an invite through Xbox Live. You can then open the invite, which should launch Overwatch 2 and automatically join your friend's group.
- PlayStation: Ask your friend to send you an invite through the PlayStation Network. Once you accept, it should take you into Overwatch 2 and invite you to join the group.
- Steam: If you're on Steam, your friend can invite you through the Steam friends list. Click on the invite to join them in Overwatch 2.
Using this approach, you avoid the in-game group system, which may be where the error occurs. If this method doesn't work, a complete reinstall of Overwatch 2 might be your last resort to fix any corrupted files or persistent issues.
We highly advise that before attempting to reinstall the game, you should try out simpler fixes, like restarting the game, your platform, your internet connection, or even checking out Blizzard's support forums or other official communication channels for updates and potential patches addressing the problem.
