I've noticed since the new patch releases that clicking on the help or arena message buttons result in MA crash to desktop... no issues with the other arenas...
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I tried it nothing hap ed on my end. It opened up.

And if you have it open on the clipboard and click arena message again, it will open up in a larger pop-up. Not sure if that was always a thing or not.

right - what did it say?

I also experienced an "ahbrowser.exe failed" during the patches but have been able to play normally, just those crashes to desktop from those two buttons. I posted this in the latest (pre)patch thread.

<edit: follow up - clicking the full install exe cleared it up and allowed to see the arena message(s) with various live and testing updates. The help button no longer ctd either.> 

<edit: and yeah the larger pop out has always been a thing for certain clipboard functions.>

I think the new base, capture limits is a good step forward.  All three countries have been guilty of excessive base capture at one time or another essentially pushing one country out of game play.
