Same. iPhone 8.
Loading screen with title.
Stone pulsing.
After update.

same problem just stuck on tavern doors, no loading bar or anything on samsung galaxy s8

Same,
HTC Desire 530,
Version 14.6.31761,
Loading screen, no pulsing.
First it initializes, then says it’s ready and after a while message : this program doesn’t answer.
Reinstalled twice with no result.

Version 14.6.31761
Haven’t reinstalled the app
Last time restarted the device was last night.
I see the Blizzard sign then tavern doors then stone circle logo pulses and hearthstone logo appears.
Then getting a message Closed “Your connection timed out as it was requesting data from the Hearthstone servers.

Last night I was getting a different message about the sprites…

Edit1 Restarted device with same issue happening

Edit2 Sorry I forgot to add device and build its iPhone X 256 GB iOS 12.3.1

Did this and it worked for me yesterday, went to log on today and its freezing again. Is yours holding up still?

same deal for me. i soley play on mobile…

A couple of days ago, I updated my windows desktop. That kinda worked. I had troubles rebooting, but fixed that.

The same day, I updated my original Google pixel, and that actually worked.

Today, i decided to update my Nexus 10 tablet, be Android 5.1.1. Ihave spent 5 and a half hours updating, downloading, rebooting, uninstalling, updating, downloading, and finally I got past the tavern doors! Asked me to login. FREEZE.

I go back to my pixel, it is stuck in a loop of checking version, update app, checking version, update app, etc.

Strike two.

Same problem.

Blizzard pls fire your HS QA team if there is any.

I have the same issue. It’s a shame that we spend money on the game and we can’t even enjoy it properly.

Version 14.6.32007
I get to the tavern doors. The logo does not pulse. If there is an update, it freezes when unpacking crates is full (0.0 B remaining @ 545.8 KB/s). I restart the game and it’s just the static doors, no pulse, no message, nothing. I see a downloading icon in the android status bar if I swipe down - Hearthstone Initializing. Then I get the message Hearthstone - 100% Update Complete. But still no activity in the app. Eventually the message appears “Hearthstone isn’t responding. Do you want to close it? Report Wait Ok”
Phone is Samsung Galaxy J3 running Android 5.1.1 and I’ve restarted it twice today to no avail. Also cleared the cache.
Just uninstalled/reinstalled, didn’t fix it.

Identical situation here. Only difference being phone model (Lg k4).

Was that small update suppose to do something? Still can’t load the game on my apple tablet.

Based on my experience (another thread here), I suspect you have Asset download (of gold cards) disabled. Delete the Hearthstone app entirely, and then re-download it. It will start up, and then you can re-disable Asset download when that starts up to get back to where you were.

For me it affected iOS; I wouldn’t be surprised if the same behaviour is on Android. I believe Blizzard needs to test releases with diabled asset download more carefully.

Yes, it does. That sucks that it does not work again, I would hate to have to keep doing this work around.

It is rare uninstall/reinstall has ever worked with this type of issue. Once out of I’ve lost count of how many times since Hearthstone was released, uninstalling and reinstalling has worked.

Beyond QA do you do any UAT on the various devices to mitigate these types of bugs before they hit the users?
