Same here. I have been unable to play for days now. Reinstalling, flushing DNS, resetting sockets, runnning different client, using a VPN, none of it does anything, the game just will not connect to the server.

It's like it is not even trying, it just immediately displays the error after half a millisecond.

PC version only

Error Updating Data
I don't know how to solve it
It's been three days ago

I have started getting this error since the latest update on PC. I am unable to get past this error. My internet connection is fine.

Same issue on PC after the Jan 26th update. It's ok on mobile. I have a draft existing game.

Same issue on PC after the Jan 26th update - I'm on gigabit internet, have tried reinstalling, VPN, et cetera.

My last played game was Historic Brawl, if that's broken anything again.

I have the same issue since last patch yesterday, also tried literally everything.

I contacted support, they said they have no solution.

This is now happening to me after updating the client. It's happening through Steam, standalone client, and mobile.

I've had this problem for three days now

If I had to guess, it seems to have something to do with the renaming of Historic Brawl to just Brawl. Anyone else play Historic Brawl as their last game before the update?

My game started working yesterday, thanks for that!

Then I got home today and played from 4:00pm CST to 4:50pm CST with no problems. Then I completed a Historic Brawl game, once I was done with that game I started experiencing this connection/update error again.

I restarted Arena, and now I just get a blank screen. At first I got the splash screen and notifications (asset manifest, etc), then an error message that connection was lost, then an attempt to reconnect.

Then the screen went blank. No error message, not even a swirling circle.

So I restarted again. Same error messages, but at least this time I'm getting a constant swirling circle. Oh wait, screen went blank again.

I was also able to start Arena successfully (it still took a second to connect to the server). I closed the program and tried again and it worked.

Heads up it just worked for me. Hesitant to restart it now

This is going on three days now

Please fix it I cannot wait more

We still don't have a ETA on a fix but they have apparently located the cause and it is related to having historic brawl decks with commanders that have the specialized mechanic. Amazonian has a video on YouTube where they talk about it.
