this works only if you’re creating lobbies. Only the lobbies sub menu in the custom game menu is affected by this. So what you can do, is:

1. Click on the “campaign” menu at the top of your screen.
2. Click on the “custom” sub menu from there. It should be near the top of your screen.
3. You can now access the arcade/melee sub menus from there fine but just dont click on the custom tab or else the game will freeze.

now you can create lobbies.

hope this helps. Also if you guys want to know where i found this fix it was on here:

Hey all,

I posted a full work-around guide over in General Discussion. This can be used while the freezing issues persist.

Full Work-Around to the Custom Mode Client Freezes

Hey all, First off, no credit goes to me for this. This 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 upper l…

Let me file a bug for you all

Bug title: Custom game freeze
Reproduce steps: 100% reproducible, see above posts for the steps.
Environment: production, NA server
Severity: Crash - In a primary game feature
Priority: High
User Impact: High - All players in North America region

Root cause analysis: XSS - Cross Site Scripting, Malicious scripts injected in Custom game UI (map names that ) exploit client-side vulnerability in Custom game lobby loading screen.

Recommended resolution:

1. Validate and sanitize user inputs in Custom map submission. Use Content Security Policy (CSP) headers ( or any parsing tool) to restrict the sources of executable scripts.
2. Run security regression tests against all other areas where malicious injection can be executed.
3. Input Validation at API and Server site: Validate and sanitize all input data on the server-side before processing or storing it. ( I’m sure this is already done in games like SC2, but it needs done better job )

Suggested Future action: Regular Security Audits: Regularly

They’ve found a work around to the patch and have begun attacking the arcade again.

[shadowski-1557]

Yes, the attacks are back, and they are actually crashing the game this time rather than freezing it. Happens as soon as the Custom tab opens.

[Krayz-12654]

Which, I’m assuming will be better in the long run because its generating an automated error report.

Ah, the joys of a free to play game. This is what happens when someone doesn’t have to pay $60 for a new account every time they get banned.

[EAGLEONE-1638]

Yeah, haven’t been able to play for a couple of days. Just tried a minute ago, crashed when I click Custome tab. Lobbies don’t load, game freezes. Any fix as of late?

[SpacePope-1781]

I also experience crashing when I try to access the custom tab. Looks like this has been an issue for many.

[Lydia-11907]

Is there a fix for this so far ?

[Leviathan-1945]

Recently, there are/were two distinct attack types. The first was patched, the second it’s not known if it was patched.

However, it has been quiet for several days for both attacks and reports of crashes.
