Custom games not loading

[Alebellov-1186]

Same problem here, if you uninstall and install you can play 1 game, but after that the problem appears again.

[Krayz-12654]

It’s a known issue. Malicious in nature, takes time.

[AceBurrito-1936]

Ran into same issues. Custom games page doesn’t load, and I can’t evne close SC2 client. I have to log out of my user session on Windows to get control back. Task manager doesn’t help me out.

This is still happening. Loading open lobbies because of this rogue code results in freezing. Come on Blizzard…

I modified my host file and still nothing.

[aznthienz-1244]

disable web client service and should be fine

[Vine2000-1183]

Any new Updates on the fix for this. I am still not able to play any Custom games. Is Blizzard working to try to fix this or is it just something that is abandoned?

[DarthErebus-1111]

So, this problem seems to have been going on since March 11th and as of now, no fix? Either it’s a major problem that Blizzard can’t figure out or they’re just ignoring the issue. Either way, its poor customer service. I hope for their sakes they fix this issue soon.

There is a work around for 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…

It’s not always as black and white as people think, especially those on the outside.

As for a fix, that’s not known. There’s been no communication about it. As for abandoned, thankfully no. What’s been observed so far is Bliz actioning those who make/host the exploited maps, and deleting the maps off the service.

This doesn’t fix the root cause, however it shows that Bliz is trying alleviate the problem where they can.

[aznthienz-1244]

instead of saying dont open arcade how about fix it rofl

[Leviathan-1945]

I get that people would like it fixed immediately, but you’re suggestion is to not provide any possible ways to help people get around the problem while it’s looked into?

And to prevent confusion for anyone who passes through here, it’s the “Lobbies” tab that needs to he avoided, not the “Arcade” tab.

[Leviathan-1945]

Hey all,

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

[aznthienz-1244]

its been like this for 2 weeks lols

[Leviathan-1945]

So? Most know that.

But that’s not the point of yours I was responding to.

[KINGHUNTER-6595]

Same problem here. My custome games suddenly freeze

[fiji-2136]

Same problem. And on my friend the same.

[aznthienz-1244]

seems like now the sc2arcade website is not working now for na server

[Leviathan-1945]

Yeah, I noticed that earlier.

If anyone has communication lines to Talv, someone can let them know.

[aznthienz-1244]

did blizzard fully patch the people messing arcade this patch?

[Leviathan-1945]

Unofficial word is Bliz did put fixes in today’s 5.0.13 patch. Hopefully we will find out when the next attack attempt hits.
