You win, computer. I'll stop laddering. You've made it quite clear that it's not what you want me to do. I mean, you'd think I would have gotten the message after you froze on me for the fifth or sixth or seventh time in the middle of a game. But no, I kept thinking "maybe it won't happen again." "Maybe you'll behave today." Wishful thinking.

So you win, computer. I won't ladder anymore. You can proudly say you've given me well over ten losses on the ladder, costing me somewhere from between 100 and 200 points. I'll be sticking to custom games from now on

Today is not a good day

If its an issue with SC2 how is playing a custom game as opposed to a ladder game gonna help you?

Instead of laddering non-sop, why not try to resolve the issue?

Kicking computers has been surprisingly effective for me.

But my condolences Hopefully you'll get a new toy that behaves properly in the near future.

This.

OT: What actually happens? BNet0.2 D/C? SCII crashes? Power randomly turns off?

I'd put my money on this!
However, sad to hear that you aren't able to play. Might be a good idea to stick with costomgames. Maybe time to get a new rig?

I have had similar issues and am similarly frustrated I'm sure. Is the issue something that was introduced after release or during phase 2 or was there always a problem for you? My issues began with phase 2 so I'm hoping they can fix the game to work like phase 1.

It's your computer's way of telling you you're a chobo and don't deserve to win so much.

I was really scared when I saw the title...

It's not nearly as bad as my paranoid mind thought it out to be, but still sad. Feel better!

Im fairly certain your computer has a virus, the only logical explantion is that you have spyware all over the place, worst case scenario you find one of these in your tower.
