iPad Is Unplayable

Multiplayer Discussion

I’ve been playing since launch of the game on IPad. The game no longer functions on iPads. Has there been any word they are looking into this issue?

Thank you.

There has been a steady increase in system load in the decade that the game has been out. As much as I hate the planned obsolescence hardware model, the software side has accepted it as normal. You won’t be able to play this game on the same ipad forever as a result.

Not having any obvious issues.

mind you 2 year old ipad pro.

But I saw a streamer lose 2 complete rounds in a battleground to animation delays and that was on pc.

Crashes on my samsung tablet as well. Before the update it didn’t crash near as often. Now it crashes after a single game.

Same here, can’t even create deck on Ipad as game crashes after pulling few cards to deck. Also almost every ranked standard game crash & lose 1 turn on restart = lose game.

Have been playing on 6th gen Ipad, latest Ios, re-installed game, re-installed whole Ipad, tried different networks, still same thing constantly.

It feels like they should make some sort of announcement for IOS users. I’ve spent alot of money building my collection and now the game barely functions.

My ipad pro that I play on all the time will not connect to Hearthstone as of about 10 minutes ago…they must be having an issue.

You are correct…

I can’t speak to the IPad in particular but here are my experiences with different hardware running the game:

  • Samsung table S7 Pro: worst experience of all, tablets for some inexplicable reason run the game significantly worse than phones. In particular, I find that a few factors seem to be at play here: 1) tablets have bigger screen, but require dragging the same cards to the same relative positions just across longer distances, this has a direct effect on quality of life, because its much easier to run out of time on your turn than even on a mobile. 2) sequencing moves appears to work worse on tablets in my exprience, I’m not sure if this is due to the inherent lag in input or something else, but sequencing more than one move at a time (critical in some situations) just doesnt work well. 3) Animations seem to resolve even slower than mobile, this is the nail in the coffin for tablets, making it near impossible to play the game competitively on a tablet if you are serious.

  • One-plus-8 plus: This is a flagship phone, and has good processing specs. This works much better than a tablet in all regards.

  • PC: this is the best experience, sequencing moves is possible at a rate that neither the mobile or tablet can allow. Also animations resolve the smoothest and fastest on a PC, resulting in the least input lag, which becomes extremely important on a turn where you have to execute 10s of actions.

Yeah I’ve had issues on mine ever since they took away those golden Death Knight cards… Not just ipad, but mobile as well. Sometimes it crashes in the deckbuilder, sometimes I’ll go in, replace the cards, then try to que up for a game and I get a “try again later” message… then I log back in later and need to replace the cards again…

I’ve also tried deleting and rebuilding the deck from scratch, same thing… haven’t been able to play Death Knight since the new expansion basically…

The game even crashes on my pc. So sad haha

Just bumping this because the game is borderline unplayable for me… crashes like 100x more often now than it did before the patch, seems to have something to do with searching/filtering in the collection manager / deckbuiler, but also randomly at end of games etc… if they broke it with a patch they can presumably fix it, right?

Same here, play on IPad (model A1893 from 2018) 32Go with IpadOs 16.4.1

I can’t even browse the web anymore on my iPad after the latest OS updated, it takes around 3 minutes to load a site.

I will never buy an Apple device again, they have built in obsolescence where they slow down older devices on purpose to for you to “upgrade”.

My new phone is a Fairphone where I know I can replace all the components.
