Hearthstone.exe stopped working in every game

Game Freezing Issue – Need Help

The problem is that after launching the game, it freezes randomly (the program becomes unresponsive), and the only thing I can do is restart the game. This is very frustrating because once I get back into the game, it’s no longer my turn, and I end up losing most of my matches. There have been rare cases where I could play 1-2 matches in a row without issues, but in 95% of cases, the game freezes during the first match. There is no error code or anything else, just the .exe stops responding. That’s it.

What I’ve Tried So Far

  • Reinstalled Windows twice
  • Reinstalled the game (also deleted the cache from the %appdata% folder) twice
  • Used the “Scan and Repair” option twice
  • Updated my BIOS
  • Updated my GPU drivers (currently using AMD 24.12.1)
  • Enabled XMP in BIOS settings
  • Swapped out RAM (tested with two different sets of memory)
  • Tried every possible in-game setting (frame rate, quality, etc.)

I found these solutions on various forums, but unfortunately, none of them resolved the issue.

My System Specs

  • GPU: Sapphire RX 5700 XT 8GB
  • CPU: i5-10400F @ 2.90 GHz (6 cores)
  • Motherboard: B560M DS3H V2
  • RAM: 32GB

This issue is incredibly frustrating because my system specs should easily meet the game’s requirements. I’ve also read that other players have experienced similar problems after recent updates, but if this is a global issue, why hasn’t the developer done anything to optimize their game?

Looking for Suggestions

If anyone has any suggestions I haven’t tried yet, or if you’ve encountered and solved a similar problem, please share your experience.
