Seen many posts here about this, and you are all still saying it is something on our end and closing the threads. For the past two weeks, I have been experiencing EXTREME server lag on the Americas server of Hearthstone, and will be disconnected 5+ times a game. The longer a game goes, the more likely I will not be reconnected to it. Opponent plays a card with a funky animation? Disconnect. Opponent attacks? Disconnect. I end my turn? Disconnect. I move my mouse to select a card? Disconnect.
The interesting thing is this is a non issue on the other servers. I can play on Europe or Asia with no issues at all. I can play games of Overwatch and can raid in World of Warcraft. Americas server of Hearthstone craps its pants if I try to open a pack! I canât even touch Battlegrounds with this.
If it is my internets issue, why is it only when I try to connect to that server that I am disconnecting? Why isnât it lagging my other games? What is going on? I was so excited to play at the start of this expansion, I have decks all built and ready, but I cannot use any of them due to these disconnects. I have a battle pass ready to use and cannot use it due to the disconnects.
For the love of everything, please notice this issue. I have no idea what it could be, but I have so much invested on the Americas server. If I canât play on it, I might as well quit.
I think Blizzard should just rename the App âCrashstoneâ. Because thatâs literally all it ever does. Iphone6s. It crashed occasionaly say around Christmas but now crashes all the time no matter what. And you have the audacity to suggest its my wifi connection. SMFH
TAO that is exactly correct! We need to be refunded for any purchases weâve made since Christmas as this company has NOT LIFTED A FINGER TO FIX ANYTHING
The minimum requirements stated in the App Store are iOS 9, any iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch running that.
Hearthstone used to run on an iPad 2 with 512 MB memory just fine. Hearthstone has only just stopped working on an iPad 3 or 4 with 1GB memory, crashing at start of game; that itâs also crashing on later 2GB / 3GB iPads is very poor.
The game is increasingly bloated. Given it is an App Store editorâs pick and featured there, youâd think Apple would lend programmers/advice.
I have this theory that Hearthstone on iOS was just too good, so theyâre trying to keep it on a par with Android quality-wise.
Unplayable on iphone 6
25% of the time it will crash loading the match
50% by turn 3
100% by turn 6
And then every turn or every other turn after that it will chain crash/try to reconnect to match.
Thereâs something genuinely wrong with the animations - They seem to throttle causing the game to freeze. Whether itâs too many trying to be played at once, or that theyâre so over the top with some cards it just seizes. This game used to run fine, but for the last like 6 months, and now with the new update itâs become a joke. Used to be my favorite mobile game, but now itâs just a frustrating crashing mess. Iâve tried updating my phone, Iâve tried reinstalling over a dozen times. Nothing works. Was sad to delete the app today from my phone, but it just doesnt work. Itâd be one thing if it crashed and you could rejoin quickly - but itâs a long load, you automatically default at least one turn. More often then not youâll rejoin, see nothing that indicates that itâs your turn, youâll be watching your opponent make turns and then it will skip your turn entirely - no rope, no warning. Just âThumpâ as the sound goes to indicate your turns over - This can happen 1-2 times before your device will realize itâs your turn again.
Please allow people to turn down or turn off entirely the animations. The gold cards, the board, everything has a number of animations - Itâs making the game bottleneck until itâs a few seconds behind and then bang, crash. I cannot play this game for more then 30 seconds at a time without it crashing deep into play.
Edit - Or at least edit the information in the store so that it better states the actual basic requirements to run it. Itâs clearly not working at all on iphone 6 or 7. Should just be - âRequires phone purchased within last 6 months of updateâ
The crashes when starting a match have persisted for months and the hearthstone devs have done nothing to alleviate them, despite the fact that they are easily recreated and diagnosable.
Itâs a joke to call this a âsupportâ forum, because Blizzard provides none.
Aye. Sadly still playing. Three games today in brawl because I canât imagine trying constructed. Three brawls, three crashes before turn six.
iPhone 6 12 GB free memory. 3% assets downloaded because the new patch re-started downloads. Maybe allow mobile to run without the 3D cardback and fancy ephemeral art assets that just bloat without influencing gameplay at all?
Am i the only one that is seeing things get progressively worse with every update? Before the last I could at least load into a game, but now the client crashes before i can even select a deck or hero. LITERALLY unplayable on mobile now.
Same problem, I canât even reach the quest menu after launching the game as the app crashes. Downloading the game again, reseting the iPad (home + power button) and reseting the router didnât help.
The issue seems to be with the app itself. (Using iPad Air 1).
Another patch, and still the same issue where the game crashes when you try to start a standard match. Câmon Blizz! Youâve had months to address this.
iPhone 7, 13.7
Crashes without pattern, but every few minutes. Sometimes when spectating, when opening the friends list, when playing battlegrounds (not even when rolling or bying a minion, just when sitting there), when starting the game and the quest screen got loaded.
Everything was fine before the Battlegrounds update btw.
