No way. Really? You didn’t just try to pass that off. And seeing it’s all right here on the forums by you, it has nothing to do with anyone’s imagination. No, using assumption and speculation to scare people to “stay away from sc2” is not good advice.
I don’t believe you just said that.
AGAIN, it’s been pointed out why several times. You just cant stop yourself from ignoring it.
Which is fine. Just don’t throw your misguided personal interpretation all over everyone in the process.
But it’s up to you to ignore it bro. Do i keep you at gun point:
“Don’t launch SC2 or i will shoot you !!!”
Everybody have their own choice.
Prove it or apologize. What do you mean “lying” ? Where have i lied ? That the game has POTENTIAL to infect your computer ? I didn’t say your computer is 100% infected.
Right here.
It does not. Computers dont work like that. And you have been told so by like 4 people now.
What? This isn’t about me and you, it never has been. Did you just add “moving the goalpost” to your repertoire of dodges? You know perfectly well that there are those out there who don’t know any better. They don’t know what’s going on or what causing the problem or what the ramifications are. So they will do internet searches and find words like yours. And thus those people are at risk of believing your words… which don’t represent reality. So it’s not a matter of ignoring or choice. It’s a matter of spreading misinformation to the vulnerable population. Jesus, man. Use some foresight.
It’s behavior like yours that lead to the vaccine/autism movement. A single study, commenting anecdotally no less, that was shot down by peer review, and has never been replicated since, even when trying to. But all it took was thought processes like yours spewed on the internet to set it all in motion.
Wow. Mr. Kelthar knows how computers work. Excellent. Please enlighten us with your magnificent knowledge. I’m waiting. You sure know better than Blizzard how this exploit works. What files/services/processes are at risk. Now YOU are literally lying to us and yourself.
I don’t even know how to respond to this nonsense. Long story short:
Tell who’s autistic here, who spreads misinformation ? Clearly not me. So if you use computer software and that software has been under malicious attacks, you just keep using it or do you wait for CERTAIN actions to take place to ensure that this danger is thwarted ? Please use your brain (or whatever is left from it). Thank you.
This requires launching the map. (And for the map to intentionally be designed to cause problems! Which is explicitly against ToS!)
While, yes, your concern is valid, the galaxy editor lets you do all sorts of things in the name of writing bank files, it also actually has that access restricted- It can only access the SC2 and UserData directories.
This means that about the worst thing it can do is purge your client settings (graphics quality, sound balancing, hotkeys), maybe it can destroy the installation and force you to reinstall it?
No one disputed that
Okay, now that just confirms your conspiratorial status You have no idea what blizzard is doing, nothing. Period. Youre just one of those who lumps no communication=nothing being done.
Yes, people took measures. However, no, you took a measure AND specifically made the unnecessary recommendation to stay completely away from sc2.
Other groups? I have only been speaking to you and your irresponsible behavior. Jesus, are you capable of not twisting other’s words. Im asking you for real. You don’t seem have any other abilities to deal with counter arguments.
Unbelievable. I NEVER said anyone is autistic. And for misinformation, anything you’ve said outside of the custom tab can freeze/crash the game IS MISINFORMAITON. That’s all that’s known.
What? I said this in reply to another one of your fearmongering post, but Ill put it here too as its relates:
Ever been on the internet? It’s loaded with danger to many different aspects of life. It’s avoided by just not going to those places. But by your logic you shouldn’t be going to the internet at all. so I presume you have a “stay away from the internet” podium as well?
So until the maliciousness that’s all over the internet is fixed, youre staying off it? (Except youre now, so…no?)
Awwww. And now you have to resort to ad hominem. With that, youve effectively killed any credibility you have in the here in the community.
@abs
you do realize that blizzard maps in games such as ranked/unranked or single player things such as campaign cant be attacked unless attacked from the source? these are things made with blizzard code, not made in the map generator where you can input your own scrips for things.
Folks, folks, folks.
I’m not really supposed to be speaking about this publicly, but, I think I can keep it appropriate. The morning after the reports started about the “Custom” tab freezing, I reported it to Bliz directly. Based off the investigations of the community, my report included the likelihood of it being an exploit and it identified alleged culprit(s).
The response I got back was that they were already aware and investigating. A little later that day, Bliz asked me for more info to help the process, which I provided. Unfortunately, that’s where my involvement ends so I don’t know where or how it’s progressing. But it’s clear that Bliz cares enough to be watching and jumping on something important like this. Bliz was even on it before I brought it up 12ish hours after the first reports appeared.
Regarding the back and forth going on here:
EDIT:
The work around that the OP is provided does seem legit. It allows players to get into the “Custom” tab and host games by bypassing the “Lobbies” UI. But still be careful whose maps/games you play. Stick to your familiar authors/maps.
EDIT 2:
Unfortunately, after a custom game, the UI returns to the “Lobbies” tab automatically. So unless people completely close out of the game on the Victory/Defeat screen, they are going to get frozen.
See here for the comprensive work around:
Thank you very much i was literally waiting for this one sentence.
JUST
BE
CAREFUL
Do whatever you want but be careful. Thank you Leviathan.
So you made sure to reply directly to me to say that? Interesting seeing your whole campaign hasn’t to be careful with which games are played. Because you’ve been advocating for stopping all sc2 play altogether. Did you forget, or conveniently move the goal post again?
Quit. I’m sick of your antics. You have brain damage/mental issues/insecurities/inferiority complexes. I think at this point 3 year old toddler would understand my whole point. If you cannot do this just go back to grade school. I cannot interprete your blabbering as being anything else other than Trolling at this point (and a good one).
yes i recommended to stay away from SC2 unless the game is patched. Recommendation is not an order (just advice)
I’m done with you. Keep talking to yourself. Not gonna reply to your single comment.
Antics, eh? Says the one who made sure to reply DIRECTLY to a post of mine just to say that… to make sure I saw it. Antics… uh huh.
See, I only go by the words you write here. No antics there. You on the other hand go off of some reality where you can just ignore what people write and replace it with some fantasy that you pull out of no where. It’s all written by you for all to see, you can’t run away from it every time you get cornered. THAT’S antics. But, you’ll ignore that as well, so good luck in your crusade of speculation and misinformation.
And true to form, as we saw you with here AND with wknight
Perfect.
Is there a way to prevent/alter the default to the Lobbies tab upon exiting a match? Thanks for your patience.
Not that I’ve seen. Unfortunately, that seems to be the default screen it returns to.
With that tidbit of info, the work around seems a little less effective. 
Not ideal, but force closing the game on the Victory/Defeat screen would be needed to avoid the freeze.
Hey mate, thanks for the info.
I doubt it does, but this doesn’t effect the standard 1v1/team games, or coop, right?
EDIT: With some testing, I’ve changed some of the info below.
I don’t know the underlying specifics, but like other people have observed, it seems restricted to the tabs under the “Custom” game mode. I’m inclined to agree with others that it has something to do with the loading of the custom maps’ in those tabs, specifically the maps’ names.
[Above, I removed references to the issue being in the “Lobbies” tab only.]
As for the other main game modes (Campaign, Coop, Versus, Collections), since custom maps’ names don’t appear in any of them, it doesn’t seem to affect any of the other main game modes.
I know it doesn’t affect Coop because I regularly play it, even in the past few days. For the “Versus” mode, I’ll try a few of those options for experiment’s sake.
Brb.
EDIT: See my “Versus” results below.
Unfortunately yes, the further step for this workaround would be when your game ends to close your sc2 process from task manager before you accept the victory or defeat dialogue. otherwise it freezes up again.
I doubt they’ve gone further than the arcade, as they are on apparently a 7 years long crusade because of the arcade map PARASITE
So under Versus, I played Training, Versus AI, Teams and 1v1. I also played a Coop while I was at it. They all went to their respective tabs after each game, so none ran into an issue.
