Game broken? no lobbies and error when creating one

[MasterNinja]

Surprised how nobody has made a new disqussion about this, i cant create lobby, i get some weird error and there are also no lobbies

and mafia has been literally whiped out from the entire frontpage cause nobody has been able to play

this can't be me only?

True true
No, you're not the only one.

I see no reason to worry about something that you can't change or influence.

It's Blizzards servers that are at fault, and -Mafia- is not the only Arcade affected by it.

You can quickly find other players reporting this bug on battle.net forms on both - bug reports and technical supports sections.

One blue had this to say:

Hey everyone,

Thank you very much for the reports on this. It looks like the problem started yesterday, cleared up, and then is back again this evening.

We’re looking into this and will update when we know more.

its obviously not blizzard servers as other games like direct strike and everything else are working fine and you can still play

its only mafia that is missing

they must have specified an error or something that needs attention and temporarely took down the game mode and if so, author has probably been notified and if so, he should told the mods here about it and made a thread about how long this fix could take.

Wow you're right masterninja DR pm'd me and said mafia was taken down by blizzard because of an integer overflow. He said he is using this downtime to effectively kill the game because he hates what a monstrosity it has become. SC2Mafia is dead.

Plot twist:
MasterNinja hacked the Blizzard servers and did all this, that's how he knew.

all other game modes are working just fine, this seems to be a mafia issue only, and if so why would it be the servers when they are working fine for everyone else

I would not say it's Mafia only lobby issue.
Have a check at the number of game opened.
You should see that there are way less lobbies open than it used to be.
Some manage to go though the error apparently, like Direct Strike.
I've got no answers to what exactly is the main issue however.

Yes it's only SC2Mafia

Women's medium if true

Just have to wait.
