Client is generally unstable and it aborts whenever I attempt to start a draft.
As of 9/13 or 9/14, the client is hanging or closing itself within 3-10 seconds every time I confirm that I want to enter a draft. I get to the "Waiting for the Server..." screen, with a frozen loading symbol, before it crashes or hangs. I've tried both Bloomburrow Premier and Artefacts drafts, and I've also tried restarting the client, changing to an alternate account, and reinstalling the program, but I can't get into a draft queue for more than a few seconds.
Sometimes when I start the client, it hangs before it gets anywhere, and I have to force close the program. It sometimes also hangs while I'm starting or in the middle of a (non-draft) game. The computer says it's non-responsive, and nothing happens even if I wait up to ten minutes.
I'm using Windows XP, and I usually have a Chrome browser open at the same time.

I tried doing a Quick Draft, today, and I got through the whole draft! Maybe the issue has to do with loading the draft pod? But then I started a match and the client closed itself after showing me my hand. I restarted it, and I got as far as playing one land before it hung. I continued to reload, taking up to a single game action each time before it crashed again after two to fifteen seconds. This happened about five times before I fully lost the game on time.
Then I tried just playing a Starter Deck Challenge game. I got through most of the game before the client hung, after around 10 minutes of play.

I noticed something else odd. When I simply start up MTGA, I also see some crash handlers in the Task Manager. It's strange, because I don't see how it has "crashed" at that point.
Image: Note that the Unity Crash Handler is present, though MTGA is open and appears to be running just fine.
