[Resolved] NetCacheGoldBalance=0

A few days ago as I was climbing Wild ladder on iOS mobile iPhone, while queuing for the next game, I was suddenly disconnected with a message that said ‘your connection timed out while requesting data from the hearthstone servers.’

Since then, I’ve been unable to play any ranked game for more than a turn before I am disconnected with the same message.

Trying to play arena, in the arena menu screen when I go to buy tickets, the overhead gold counter shows up but not the ticket-buying menu apparatus. When I check the shop tab, there’s only an empty turnstones tab, with nothing to purchase. No cards, packs, cosmetics.

I put in a ticket and the response I got was ‘check your connection’ and ‘refer to the forums’

I responded that’s not helpful, I have tried every method to fix this, I have reinstalled three times, freed up memory, reset my router, restarted my phone. I mentioned this is most likely a patch rollout thing affecting mobile users, because the forums and the Reddit are full of little posts with the same exact problems.

They said although they’ve seen the reports they are ‘unable to influence these in-game mechanics.’So just, F you, it’s not important and there’s no solution.

It is weird they won’t acknowledge there’s anything to fix. I’ve been playing on the same mobile for 10 years, yes it’s an old phone but nothing has stopped my playing progress when it comes to the garbage client, until now. Nothing different on my end.

PC still works but I’ve played mobile for over 10 years as I said, and for no reason it doesn’t work anymore, I have just stopped playing.

I’ve had the same experience the past 5ish days on my iPhone. Crashes every 1-2 turns during game. It makes the game unplayable. There is definitely something that needs to be fixed.

Having no problems on Android as of like 4 hours ago. So it’s not a blanket Mobile problem. And I’ve had a few other friends online today but I’m not sure what devices they play on.

But this does sound like a problem we were all having like 2 months ago. I think we were all away from the game for a week and a half and it was just working randomly again.

Same here. iPhone 13.

I just started having this exact issue yesterday on iPhone 11/iOS 26.5. Weirdly, this didn’t start at the exact same time as you (I’ve played daily since you posted this) but just yesterday started disconnecting almost every turn.

I really only ever log on to play arena, and now it won’t even let me purchase arena tickets to build a deck. I just click the button and nothing happens.

Really hoping for a fix asap

This evening I was able to log into the game without any issues. However, as soon as I start a match, the game disconnects after just 2 or 3 turns, and I’m unable to reconnect. The only workaround is to completely close and restart the application, which is quite frustrating because after another 2 or 3 turns, the same issue happens again.

I have already checked my internet connection, and there do not appear to be any connectivity problems on my end.

One additional detail that may be relevant: whenever the disconnection occurs, the message “NetCacheGoldBalance=0” appears in the top-right corner of the screen.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue?

It’s time out each every time all the time throughout the game? Is blizzard trying to fix this?

It sounds like this has been a problem with a few users for awhile, but recently escalated to affect a ton more people. Issues like this can be hard to pin down, but the nature of things like this is that they spread. First you have a few users affected, then a lot, and then most, and then you’re not making any money. So they’d better hire someone who can troubleshoot this if they don’t have anybody right now capable of it.
