I have similar experiances when logging into online arenas. About 1 times in 5 I have one of the following problems:

- computer completely locks up upon entering the arena. I can see the tower, clipboard map may or may have been not loaded, but never got so far that any system messages or chat had been displayed yet. This is the most common variant of this bug

- arena seems to have loaded, but i am not able to change base or location on a base or up a plane

- white screen of death

So far, it happened in LW on Ozkansas, Compello and MidMesa. Checking pingplotter afterwards I couldn't spot any anomalies in my connection to the arena.

Well, my system just locked up when I tried to enter Orange Arena at 8:11 a.m EDST.  As stated by Lusche in his post, I got as far as the tower and was locked up.  I had to reboot the system.  As a matter of information,  these are random lockups.  I had been in the arena about an hour earlier without any problem and left to go to the training arena.  When I returned I locked up.  System Specs are posted at the beginning of this thread.

Is this a first entry, or did you exit arena, and then enter another?

First entry for me, the lock ups. Started after the last patch, hadn't had an issue prior to that.

I exited Orange and went to the training arena for about 20 to 30 minutes.  I then returned to the Orange Arena and locked up. 

[Lusche]

If I recall right, all my lockups where when entering an arena for the first time after starting game.

The WSoD however came after changing arena.

I found this bug yesterday I should be able to fix it with a host change only.
