Since today, whenever i open hearthstone cpu usage skyrockets to 90\95%
Up till yestarday it hovered around 20%\25% at max
Before this, i had to do a fresh battle.net install because the launcher window was completely black

My fan kicked on for the first time using this game since the patch also. I thought it was just me.

SAme, just watched it jump to nearly 95% cpu utlilization. This was right after I had to close and reopen the game because, as usual, it can’t handle the effect happening on screen and disconnects the game, forcing a close and reopen.
Have you all try lowering graphics in the game does this makes any difference? If no what does your GPU say? When my CPU go up that high with other games my GPU is high but when I update it will go down. You can also go to task manger make sure the game is selected right click “Hearthstone” then proceed to “Go to Details” click that.
Then make sure Hearthstone.exe is selected and right click it. Click on “Set Affriminty or close to that spelling” click it. A box window will appear showing numbers relating to the processors uncheck mark 6 and 7 to see if any difference. If no then uncheck 4 this normaly fixes the problem if no then test it out . This is a troubleshooting for processors taking up too much resoruces I do this with Starcraft 2 which works wonders on my laptop.
recommend this fix, if you got high cpu heat in HS, this will likely fix it;
also works for other games built in Unity - as the issue is specific to some CPU’s, but ALL unity games

I just got the same problem lately. No game ever ate all my CPU and now HS is doing it.
Maybe, if we collect enough bananas and some monkey figure, the dves will finally start using their few functional brain cells, open ChatGPT and type something like: how monkey fix high cpu usage as dev. results could be expected around 2030.
saw same today; what to check with procexplorer what is wrong in bliz dev brains;
but when set afinity first to one core (2 treads) hearstone start lag more and auticrash;
pls bliz stop that bug and hack stat flood pls
yep, noticed that my game would occasionally start lagging my entire pc to a halt and then hearthstone would crash and everything would immediately go back to normal.
also had an issue where my game just randomly closed for no reason losing 50 rating.
I have a problem as well. CPU not running at 95% but it runs superhot when I play HS, hotter than when I play Diablo IV on max settings… what’s going on? I just started playing HS again
yes yes, not just me then!
when i launch it, it will randomly just run on 95-100% and the game will lag, but a single relaunch will fix it completely, makes no sense to me.
will mention it again, a solution that has worked for most people, i posted it earlier,
stop posting the same post without reading the thread xD
