Is it my PC or are others experiencing this as well? Some dude found that you can put code in the name of arcade rooms and descriptions and its making the game crash when you open it, AFAIK theres not much you can do until Blizzard fixes it. | ||

What code, I wonder? JS? So the client is just a modified browser, which doesn't sanitize the user inputs? That reminds me of one time when I found out a website that I visited frequently didn't sanitize the comments, and the html tags were just inserted as they were written. I thought it was funny, so I just wrote a bunch of <i> and <b> to mess with the styles, and every comment below mine became italic and bold, because there's no terminating tags. Ah, imagine the worst things I could have done > | ||

Having to pull somebody from across the company to dive into the arcade codebase for the first time probably wouldn't help either. | ||

Short term solution is to take a longer pathway to reach arcade (Campaign --> Custom Campaign -> Arcade Maps) this is made easier if you already have a map bookmarked | ||
