There are 2 Hackers on the north American server, Elixer and slayer, that have custom broken games that are crashing players bnet connection. i have pictures if any devs want to see. Their games dont have any patches reviews descriptions or anything really. They have just ruined the na server. Please investigate this, my group is going over to eu server until its fixed. Additional informatio as follows 2 more players avilo and SamHyde also have made those lobbies the lobbies say 1v1 yet dont time out. A friend recognized one of the players and mention they are a troll that has threatened to ruin parasite and apex rp in the starcraft arcade.
Confirmed, Custom games insta crashed when lobby list comes up.
Work around found so can still play games but this must be addressed ASAP,
Use Player Game history to launch lobby, and use friend list to join without using custom game lobby list which atm.

ā¦I believe it may be connected to a player named āHighVoltageā, who has been known to do this kind of thing consistently, he does this by use of memory leaks, I believe. He steals accounts that have gone unused for years. He has been a problem to many communities so Iāve heard, but if this isnāt him, its someone likely using the same methods of creating image load prompts that memory leak en mass.
I happened to catch the list before the problem got severe, I saw an image where the lobby title was supposed to go in a single lobby. I imagine thats now spammed. This is also a problem in several map reviews and that review imaging is known to explicitly be by āHighVoltageā.
If at all possible, try to avoid looking at lobbies list. In theory offline mode can be used to bypass by going into offline mode, clicking to a different arcade tab, then going online again. But I have a stable setup by coincidence, so Iād ask someone to try that so I can maintain my capacity to game.

Yeah, this is correct. They uploaded maps that contained the same html text to brick the reviews section of many other games. You can see the maps they uploaded in the Starcraft II Arcade database that have a bunch of special characters in them.
Chances are, that narcissist is going to show up here and gloat about it while acting innocuous, I would know. Just donāt engage in conversation with that prick. He just wants to do it for attention that he doesnāt get in real life.

I happen to be in a parasite discord and lo and behold, highvoltage is in there. I havenāt seen anything inside the discord that alludes to it being behind anyone inside it, but it does confirm that this guy is indeed malicious. He has a post for a program he created to circumvent bans. I took a screenshot assuming ill get banned if they are behind it because theyāll see Iād have posted here lol
Crazy if they are though, insane the amount of toxicity parasite created
I thought it was my problem, I reinstalled the game and was still not working. should have come here to check first

Great, I thought it was just me since I was testing a custom arcade map. If only Blizzard actually monitored these forumsā¦

Thanks. Simple and safe workaround. Unless this person is operating through tor somehow or something, I expect they wonāt like the results of their actions. lol

posts in screenshot are by highvoltage
several people have mentioned a workaround but i couldnt find it in this threat so im state one that worked for me:
instead first click ācampaignā and then choose custom. from here you can create a game and instead of crashing youll just sit in your empty lobby since all players are crashing instead of finding your lobby. but you can just advertise in the chatroom /lobbylink
This is what Iād describe as next level thinking. I just clicked into custom and then to āArcadeā before maps could load, but I would recommend this method if your computer is loading the lobbies faster than you can click away.

This issue needs to be addressed, and QUICKLY, custom games is a crucial part of sc2, and without it, it isnt really sc2 anymore
