Hello all,
When I attempt to add my recent opponent as a friend, the game client forces me to restart by stating “game recorded, please restart”.
For whatever reason, every time I add someone this occurs, and I believe that my friend requests are not actually being sent to my opponent.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I’ve attempted a redownload of the game client however the issue persists. I’m unsure how to remove my pended friend request list if that’s full.

It’s the wonderful programming by the devs. You won’t get an answer but the Hearthstone Defenders will say it’s on you, not this 
game.
There is no feedback if you send a friend request. If it is declined, not responded to, the account never logged into again, account banned, you will not get any status update. All you can do is manually go into your pending requests, cancel the existing one and send another.
Game recorded is not related. You were disconnected from a blizzard service, probably due to all the ddos attacks lately.
It’s because your battle net account is silenced. The whole battle net account. You can easily check if actions have been taken against your account, or simply try to w/ someone in any of the Blizzard games and get message is not delivered you are silenced. Or 404 in battlenet.
If that’s not it in your battlenet friends list you also have pending requests and you can remove requests from there, but it doesn’t generate that issue.
Is this real???
You need yo enter to the battlenet app- and search in configuration, the pending request friends list and cancel them all…
I was unable to add anyone for a long time and this solved it…
If you are responding to me, yes it’s real…If they silence your battle net account for reasons…when you try to add someone as a friend, you get “game recorded blabla” and you need to relog…Your messages won’t go through with friends and everything else, you cannot invite even friends if you have the quest were you can play a quest with your friend and you both get 1500 xp ( which beat’s the whole purpose of the quest)…You cannot use d2r message service which technically kills you, and it applies to every game…If you get account silenced, all of your games are affected. And they don’t remove it, and don’t want to fix the interaction between getting silenced in HS and being silenced in D4…
I mean , maybe I am a coackroach in hearthstone but I want to play d4 and be a good guy, they just ban you overall, and in hs you get “game recorded, please restart hs”…because they cannot separate the API, but that’s a different discussion.
It is very easy to be tested, just add everyone you play against —> give them hell in messages (just for the funs) — > let them silence your battle net account (you need to do this multiple times, before whatever AI/Person they have there silences you, but you will get an e-mail that your bnet account is silenced and the period)—> try to send a friend request while silenced …You can also try sending them a friend request in a match, you will see that after the match is done you get “game recorded, please restart hearthstone”
Just so everyone knows, they just cannot take away your /w rights in hs, because in order for you to /wisp someone in hs they need to be your friend, they can silence your whole account, which in terms leads to this kind of errors. Good thing their app doesn’t need a restart, my god, what will we do if you need to rel log when you send a friend request.
The poster above talks about your list being full of requests, but doesn’t trigger errors…The request just doesn’t go to the one you want to add…
I urge you all to try it :D…I mean it is how it works, and if they changed anything, well…Carnivore is pleased because I now have a new Justin syndrome to debug.
You’re usually right carn and i respect you a. Lot but i think this time you might be wong!
That is not a thing. Stop spreading misinformation.
Careful – he’s impersonating the other Carnivore. Look at his post count. The real Carnivore has 6000+ posts.
Yes, it sounds like it is full.
You can’t manage this list inside of the game itself – you have to use the battle.net client.

Yep. That person is a sockpuppet of someone who got banned, because I once told him “some players are better than you and sometimes they win” because he thinks the game is rigged against him.
It is a thing and it’s not misinformation, here…My account is silenced for the moment , I reproduced the issue and posted proof.

Pictures were taken today 03.04.2025, time clock is in the game, it is not correct though, I keep my time zone registers in windows completely messed up for security reasons.
You can shut up now please 
. I left clear instructions how to reproduce the problem. You can just do something bad and silence your account just go into a game, and when you concede try to add the person you last matched with and you will get the error message with game recorded bla bla bla (YOU CAN DO THAT YOURSELF, just go into few games, add everyone if they add you back be a jackass to them, get reported and get BattleNet silenced, then go into a game and do what I said, I mean you can literally test yourself that before stating it’s not a thing, it can be tested, it’s not like the game rigged vs not rigged, this can be tested, if you find my proof to be not convincing) …If you want I can post more pictures were i reproduce the issue, from different classes, so that you know it’s true. But you need to come back crawling with an explanation fast because my account will be un-silenced soon :), and my next silence won’t be 10 month’s anymore
I know you smart a@@es will try to weasel the undeniable proof I stated like you do with the game not being rigged thing…But check until when I am silenced, compile what you want me to showcase if you are not convinced, and let me know :)…You have 5 days until I get un-silenced, and I ain’t silencing my account for science again since my next one will probably be 3-4 years.
Man I tried wild with a druid and this error keeps on popping up with the same steps described above https://ibb.co/prhBhMB4 in BG’s also O NOESSSS… https://ibb.co/7tMZvW2L
You get my drift I hope, think I rest my case
Why don’t friend requests expire after a while? I checked my battle.net and I have tons of friend requests that I sent 2 or 3 years ago. Mind baffling.
Haha, it’s even worse. On my main account I still have friend requests I sent SEVEN years ago.
