31.2 Client Update Patch Notes

Client stability is incredibly important to us. Issues that take you out of the game—sometimes literally—are fun-killers that understandably lead to a lot of frustration.

We’ve just released a client update to Patch 31.2, a new version of the last major update, intended to resolve the highest profile issues hurting your play experience. It’s available now on desktop and will be available on mobile devices once approved by their respective storefronts. We expect a marked improvement in performance after this patch and we hope it’ll let you return to the relationship you have with the client when it’s working well—not really noticing it at all.

You might also have seen that we introduced a new server disconnect indicator (the little red circle in the bottom-left part of your screen) so that your client can tell you when you’re not connected to the game servers faster. With today’s patch, we also improved our automatic reporting for desktop device crashes.

As a live-service game, we want you to know that we see this as a continuous effort. Keep letting us know when things aren’t working right! Your reports were a big help in tracking down the issues resolved in this patch.

  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where using a Battlegrounds Token could sometimes cause a disconnect on the Hero selection screen.

  • [General] Fixed a memory issue that occasionally caused crashes across modes and devices.

  • [General] Fixed a visual bug where the disconnect indicator appeared at the end of each game (when you disconnected from the game server, but only because the game was over).

Fix Diamond Card [ Kil’jaeden ] Should Draw diamond legendary like [ Archimonde ] summin every demon. And i have too diamond Archimonde.
He draw only Gold cards Should this be fixed? Check this …

Cards would default to the next highest premium they have–most cards don’t have a Diamond premium, so it would be correct for them to be Golden as their highest option.

This happened to me today, before the update was pushed. Will the token be refunded to me?

There is a bug with Lich King when he casts his ability on Cruise Controller. After all deathrattles are revolved, it is not being reborn. Please look into it.

Same thing happens to reborn Macaw when a deathrattle summons 2 tokens.
I feel this isn’t a bug.

So a token is canceling reborn because there isn’t space?

You have to improve your process of dealing with code patches. The Titan/choose-one bug was a game breaking bug because Titans are a core part of netdecks and choose-one cards were core in the latest expansion.

A way to deal with that is with code branches that are based on the stable release branch and are only patched for emergencies; you waited too long to do all patches at once; in any case: you waited too long.

PS Also you seem to announce for marketing reasons way too early “we have a fix”. It took you almost a week after that announcement and the same happened with the twitch drops bug a while ago.

That’s correct. What happens is the tokens take the spots. If there’s not at least x+1 amount of space left—x being the amount of tokens—then the Reborn won’t spawn, and is lost for the Combat. That’s why there’s the minions like Thundering Abomination that give you bonuses for when that sort of thing happens.

This can also happen during Recruit, with the minions and Tavern spells that can destroy them. If you lose them during Recruit, they’re gone for good.

Fixed just in time for the World Championship!

Thats correct but i think he means that other diamond cards like ETC or Dorian, generate cards in signature or diamond as their highest premium option
if that card have it,
Thats why one might think that Kiljaedan would do the same with his generated demons, such as with patches by example.
