i’m on pc/laptop ,windows8 and 2 days ago since the patch, i couldn’t open the game. it would freezze at the tavern’s doors with the “flashing” hearthstone
i’ve read plenty of players aare experiencing the same. i did the following, and it fixed everything. if you can reproduce this procedure on your device/OS , hopefully it will fix it for you too
Windows
- Make sure that Hearthstone is closed on all platforms.
- Delete the Hearthstone option files.
- Press Windows Key + R to open the Run diaglogue
- Type %LocalAppData% into the Run field and click OK
- Open the Blizzard folder.
* If there is no Blizzard folder, ensure to [show hidden files and folders]. - Delete the Hearthstone folder.
and this just to be sure
Windows
- Close open Blizzard programs.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager.
- Click the Processes tab.
- If agent.exe is running—or Blizzard Update Agent in Windows 10—select it and click End Process.
- Navigate to the folder containing the cache directory:
- Press Windows Key+R to open the Run dialogue.
- Type %ProgramData% into the Run field and press Enter.
- If a Blizzard Entertainment folder exists in the directory, right-click it and select Delete.
hope this helps you
