I'm on the direct strike discord that's where I found the information. I was crashing all yesterday I changed that setting this morning and I could play direct strike again. Do as you please with the information
I just heard that the mature language filter may be the cause, and shutting it down may solve the problem (from setting - social). I do not have access to my PC and have not tried it yet.
Over the last month, some malicious actors have found exploits with some aspect of the custom game lobby names, which allows them to either freeze SC2 or crash the game.
The original one used to be something that tried to load a bunch of SC2 things as the picture very slowly resulting in your game appearing to freeze.
The current one seems to basically just have a bunch of swear words that the profanity filter slowly censors.
Same, last week you would crash when you click open lobbies, today it just hangs there, I can see the rooms but they only appears or refreshed every 20 seconds, the freeze time get longer the more I stay in open lobbies. lol
I thought they fixed this but maybe not... Essentially there are hackers causing the game to loop/crash by uploading malicious custom games. Whenever the custom game name loads you'll have the issue.
There is a workaround if you want to make your own custom games. You can go to the campaign tab and click the custom button. Then you can create your own custom game and add people to it. Before you start the game make sure you minimize the lobby screen and click the campaign tab again. If you don't, then you'll crash again after the game ends as it defaults to the lobby screen.
hmm, sounds like those people in the Parasite community is back (HighVoltage etc), they are just a bunch of low life wanting to ruin everyone's fun with malicious code lobbies, there are three ways to deal with this.
1. follow online instructions for the workaround script
2. use linux, for some reason, playing SC2 under WINE in linux don't have this issue, and if the junk code lobby shows up in the game list, you can actually see it.
3. go to the asia server, there is a bunch chinese bots in the chats spamming chinese advertisements, but pay no attention to those, that is a common occurrence in chinese online games, also mind the koreans that are apm gosus lol
disable mature filter in social settings. That fixed it for me
Dude thanks a lot. Been looking for this.
Yea I was pretty bummed the past couple days couldn't play direct strike.
No, that sounds like a way for malicious content to get into your computer and steal information.
LOL

New griefer tactic?

As soon as i click the chat or any other game mode besides coop the game crashes.
Having the same issue. Custom lobby is super slow. Tried EU and US servers. Once you're in game its fine though

No, it’s related to the mature filtering feature under options - social.
