Custom game breakers found

[dodgerdude-1241]

i thought a bot automods it? If it is blizzard that does it then we are toast lmao

[Cauzie-11473]

Wow, way to be on the case… Microsoft doesn’t do anything to assist apparently.

[Tidus-11960]

Yeah I think the game is done. This hacker is quite persistent.

[WKnight2-1687]

this only effects custom, so no the game would not be dead. theres still all the main stuff that is not effected. Also there not actually hacking anything, there just uploading maps with bad script to make custom crash because they got booted out of someones game for cheating.

[Tidus-11960]

The custom section I think is what most people play. Without that there isn’t a whole lot to revisit there.

[WKnight2-1687]

lol, no custom isnt what most people play. Most people play 1v1, teams, and campaign. Custom is the least played section of sc2.

[Tidus-11960]

yeah a handful of people play 1v1. Everyone knows custom is the only thing worth anyone’s time.

[WKnight2-1687]

sure buddy, what ever you say

[Leviathan-1945]

Hey all,

Yeah, this is something Bliz is aware of. In watching the lobbies and SC2Arcade, Bliz has been actioning the perpetrators and removing the exploited maps from the game service. It’s not a permanent fix, but it shows Bliz is trying to mitigate the impact.

That’s simply not the case, Cauzie

For a work around to the freezes, see here:

Full Work-Around to the Custom Mode Client Freezes

Hey all, First off, no credit goes to me for this. This is a compilation of other community members’ ideas over the last several days all rolled into one. [image] The goal here is to 1) completely avoid the “Lobbies” tab under the “Custom” game mode where exploited map names have a high chance of appearing, and 2) to avoid freezes at the end of games and/or force-closing the client on the Victory/Defeat/Quit screen. So, to do both: When SC2 opens, click on the “Campaign” mode in the upp…

Hey again,

Give the Arcade a try. Looks to be cleaned up.

[Cryptic-12889]

Really? It’s been fixed… Oh how I missed Arcade.

[Gregws-1800]

Broken again unfortunately. Straight to desktop.

[Krayz-12654]

Its not a broken or not broken issue. Its a malicious attack on the arcade.

[Tidus-11960]

yeah it started up again. what a surprise.

[LordTweezers-1940]

Found the Enemy, had to edit my host files to ignore the exploit they’re using.
I’d send the image if I could through here

[Leviathan-1945]

Hey all,

Thanks for the reports. I passed them along.

[Anteep-2569]

Pretty much. It’s a damn shame

[Ghost-111282]

what did you do to the host file? the lobby is communicating with another server? wouldn’t that affect the rest of the lobby if you’re rerouting a bnet IP to 127 0 0 1?

It’s been a month and Microsoft can’t figure out how to stop one idiot from shutting down a third of their newly acquired platform? Whoever’s in charge of this mess should be fired for incompetence.
