Game Freezing on Arcade Tab

Technical Support
20

I started the game w/o logging in on Bnet, then went to EU region, and logged in after pressing play. Started a new ID, and played just fine on the EU server. Like you, just setting my original acct to EU region did not help.

ah I see I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

22

I appreciate the article. Thank you!

I’m having the same issue whenever I go to the arcade tab. The game locks right up.

24

these bozos added AI worrired about “alt-right gamers” instead of doing their job and protecting us from exploits. Your bad code and development shows. I gotta re-route my router with customer commands to not lock up. What a joke.

25

Just an update to the work arounds.

An extra step can be done to avoid both freezing and force-closing at the end of custom games.

Once a game lobby is open, minimize it and change to Campaign mode. Then click “Return to Lobby” in the bottom left of the screen. After that, just fill the lobby and play normally. When the game is done, it will return to the Campaign UI instead of the Lobbies UI. Thus no force-close and no freeze.

26

Why is there still no hotfix?

27

Hey folks,

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

28

Bump. It’s specific people doing that once again.

And since hyperlinks doesn’t work for me… go look at the picture at

This time around, I hope this goes higher up for people to take actions.

Still down, General Chat believes someone has webhooked a map and has bugged the entire arcade tab. Basically DDOSing a whole tab of the game. Can we get a support team on this?
