[BATTLEGROUNDS]: Game is locked

It’s been years since I started experiencing “Freezes/Locks” in the game, It’s only happening in Battlegrounds. Here’s what’s happening:

  • Game is going well
  • In combat, a minion is attacking
  • the animation stops
  • the game is locked “in combat”, nothing is happening
  • the UI is still accessible, I can hover cards and play with the board elements
  • the only way to go back to the game is to ALT+F4 and relaunch it, with the risk of missing a “minion’s recruit” turn.

I’ve been experiencing these issues on Windows 11 and it happened with my previous setup as well.
I’ve tested all the following fixes.

  • Updating drivers
  • Lowering the game settings to their lowest (I’m on 3070ti, Ryzen 5 5800X, 48Go of DDR4 ram)
  • Repairing game
  • Uninstalling the game from my HDD and install it to the SSD

As I already uninstalled Overwatch, I’m about to do the same with Hearthstone, this way I’ll not experience issues with your games anymore

So here’s my request to ATVI Blizzard (Bob Kotick):

  • Stop spending all the fan base money on marketing bullsh*t
  • Hire developers instead of marketeers, to have bugless and finished games without false promises
  • Respect your staff
  • Respect your fans, they pay you

Thank you!
An old fan of Blizzard games.

Same issue here the freezes just ruin everything

Same, been happening to me for months now. For me it started the day of the Unity upgrade patch. New patch today, still the same thing. 2 games, 5+ disconnects mid battle just freezing and manually restarting the game is the only thing that fixes it. But seems like the new patch has issues reconnecting after that too, had a game where it wouldn’t let me back in.

Guess I can’t play Hearthstone today. Boo hoo. BG broke my hearthstone.
