Client gets really laggy, doesn't connect

Hi, ever since the Uldum release I have had this problem on my main PC. I would open it, for a few seconds it would be fine, it would start loading into the game, then suddenly it would be incredibly laggy. It takes about 3-4 minutes for it to finally disconnect and say “playful sprites have interrupted…”. Opening the game in Administrator Mode causes it to instantly close.

I have tried restarting my PC, Re-installing HS, updating my drivers.

I did try opening the client on a second user on my computer, and for some reason that works. However this is not a work around that is convenient for me since I’d have to set everything up on that second account just to play hearthstone.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey, Ribit! Thanks for the details! It sounds like it’s definitely specific to the system like third party applications (ie. HearthSim/InnKeeper).

The admin mode causing an instant closure is weird though. Does the game behave well on a New Admin account by chance? This resets a ton of settings, registries, etc.
