I’ll leave it up to you whether or not you feel it’s worth sharing, but there’s a second workaround I’ve been using:
Connect to EU or KR through the Battle.net client. Click the Custom tab, then click the Arcade sub-tab (Lobbies, Versus, Arcade, Campaigns). Then logout of SC2. Login to US server. You can now click the Custom tab, and it’ll default to the Arcade sub-tab, not the Lobbies sub-tab. Once in a lobby, minimize the lobby and select the Campaign tab. As long as the Campaign tab is open when the game starts, the Campaign tab is what will be open behind the results screen when your game ends, so no freeze after matches. It’s a few more steps than the method you’ve been sharing, but that way you don’t have to close SC2. It sounds like a lot in text, but it takes like 45 seconds. Just thought I’d share.
Yes! I saw that specific part somewhere earlier today but couldn’t find it. That’s much better than force-closing on the Victory/Defeat/Quit screen. I’ll add that to any posts I make.
Thanks!
Hey all,
I posted a work-around guide over in General Discussion. This can be used while the freezing issues persist.
Thanks Leviathan for tying to keep us in the loop on what’s happening with the limited information you’re able to provide, greatly appreciate it and it helps. I just wish some more on the matter was shared, I hate being left in the dark about this. Something like this is a serious matter and I wished maybe a “Blizz” post on a update would make us feel a bit better and more understanding of the current situation.
But hey at least some of the MVPs are getting something out there for us to read, to be fair you’re the only MVP I’ve seen in this matter.
More than a week later, and still a major issue. Why do I feel like I had way more control over my rented Battlefield 2, 3, and 4 servers than Blizzard has over its own servers? This is just plain disgraceful.
still not working…please fix
At least publish the workaround on the starcraft 2 launch menu ?
I have seen them posting lobby descriptions saying they were paid at one point to screw with the lobbies. Think its time blizzard gets cops involved.
great, another shat fest due to greedy execs just because people mod the game…
I find it crazy that this issue is still going on almost 2 weeks in now.
There’s been 2 issues. The first was patched a few days ago which effectively resolved it. But, a couple days ago, a new type of attack started. Thus it’s not all one lingering problem.
why they dont attack diablo 4 instead ? 
StarCraft 2 is broken for life
Is it one person or a group - if it’s one person like…… in 2024 there must be a solution
SC2 broken by one idiot
a fairly large group
As nightslasher mentioned above, all evidence points to a group.
Unreal . What blows my mind is these people could be doing actual good in the world with their skills instead they waste their time ruining StarCraft 2…… it’s pretty sad
My arcade menu is working at the moment unclear if this is a blizzard fix or group is giving us a break.
Disregard it’s broken again. These guys literally have nothing to do but monitor the arcade menu of SC2
My game crashes as soon as I hit the Custom tab. I thought I did something wrong with my Nvidia video card settings to make this happen. Blizzard has the option to ban maps, why don’t they just monitor and ban the offending maps/accounts being placed in the lobby.
It’s obvious that this is being done by a bunch of kids, they really need to drop the hammer and get the authorities involved.
