This seems to be an issue with Windows users as well right now. I am literally
loosing sleep to try and work around this. I have tried many different servers
(including North America & Europe) with the same blue dialog box (after
clicking select) with no information being displayed. The client looks like its
getting stuck and I think the loading screen might be related to this issue.

It's a good point your bring up, every patch will nerf the workaround to get to
server select (but its a small baby step of progress)
