Game bugged: forced DC's

I’m experiencing a DC nearly every game when playing Dungar druid, and it always happens when either

  1. Using Eonar’s abilities, clicking him does nothing and the game becomes unresponsive → clearly DC forced due to some bug.

  2. Using forbidden fruit, same behaviour, game becomes unresponsive.

Have other people noticed this? I’m on mobile, its very consistent, but doesn’t always happen.

It has been discussed at length on these forums, Reddit, probably X, and acknowledged in the latest Known Issues post

Wanna hear something ironic?

To me, the DC-s stopped when that got posted, which makes me think they screwed it up by trying to fix the issue

BGs is constant crashes for me and I’m on a higher end PC. There is something strange messed up for sure.

I said two days ago that it’s VERY embarrassing they can’t fix a bug within 24h that they introduced themselves within the past 24h. I had said in the past they should be studied at a conference of programmers for incompetence. I don’t know what to say at this stage that is nearly a week.

Are they just trolling us? Have they sacked all the programmers and only artists remain this week?

That is such a BS answer. Why not, "and when it happens to you we will give you a win for that match, and compensate you for your troubles?

Wait till they figure how to code that, they can’t even fix the bug yet.

PS this isn’t a regular bug (it can be classified as game breaking).

Reviewing this information, I can say without a doubt that my case does not fit their description at all, it seems this issue is not well understood by them.

Oh I’m waiting to see the crap shoot that will be worlds when this bug takes effect to the players at this event. Can you imagine how many of them are going to get pissed having the reconnect to the game mid match every time they play a titan or choose card.

I would be shocked if we don’t have one who just gives up all together and walks away form their computer due to the bug on live feed. While I will feel bad for the players, it will be hilarious seeing how bad the programmers messed up for the world to see.

But that’s what happens when their team is forced to make stupid cosmetics rather than invest in their programmers who can fix bugs and such in a timely manner and you cut back on said programmers and create a skeleton crew or replace them with temps.

Doesn’t matter much because Titans will be killed this week when they will add the brand new 6 mana cost remover/mind control, Bob.

OK … This is a real problem and is still happening with Titans … Curiously - this always happens when winning over the opponent and never (yet) when I am losing a game. BUT the opponent doesn’t seem to have any issues when playing their Titan … interesting right?

I would not be surprised at all, though I will say that I’ve only had one disconnection from pulling Yogg with Dungar after mulliganing him away, but I haven’t played many games in ranked lately. I reconnected quickly enough to barely finish my turn.

Battlegrounds is freezing a lot for me and for the streamers I watch

Just had the joy of choose one bugging the game. It is so sad how bad this client has gotten. It is being held together by hopes and dreams.

Nah.

It’s your brain playing tricks on you - negativity bias + recency bias

We were evolutionarily programmed to remember mostly the negatives, to enhance chances of survival.

If you’re being really fair and scientific, you’ll notice that a % of your opponents also just stops playing at some point and then you win because of it.

During my climb this month a non significant amount of wins were from people DCing. No joke, if I did not see my opponent mousing around the cards/boards for 10 seconds I would immediately restart the client. A few of those times the opponent DC’d as well and lost. It is insane.

they already know the cause is a client side issue thats why they couldnt fix it with the hotfix we got last week for the libram bug

I was about to say I wouldn’t be surprised either, and it is the second time I’ve noticed something similar.

They proclaim they have the fix and then they dun goof (or just lie) and don’t have the fix for days.

Oh yeah I remember now! It was that bug with the twitch drops not registering.

I stopped playing when the patch launched to give them time to fix this.
Booted up the game today expecting smooth sailing. Imagine my utter shock and disgust when I ran into this bug GAME ONE.

This is a completely unacceptable state of the game and makes it unplayable. They absolutely should be compensating players for this.

It’s an annoying bug, but it’s easily recognizable, and you just close your game and relaunch. I’m surprised how many times I’ve relaunched to the rope burning even though it only takes like 2 seconds to close the game, and maybe another 10 seconds to relaunch and reconnect. Still have had enough time typically to do what I needed to do in the turn anyway.

This is not a tenable solution. I’ve had multiple games where I’ve started my turn with the DC, then quit → login only to find I’m in the last 50% of the rope on my turn. Basically it nearly auto-skips your turn. Obviously this is an auto-loss if your turn is even somewhat complex.
