Am I the only one who started getting more sneaky crashes?

So the game started crashing lately, but no in a usual way where you’d see SOME indication of a game crashing, no. It just freezes the last frame and doesn’t even change the mouse cursor back to Windows default up until you click on the screen. So it’s really easy to think that your opponent is just still thinking while in fact it’s your turn already.

Just had an Arena game that I basically won, had this sneaky crash. By the time I realized that I got bamboozled by the game and was able to close it, wait for “PLAY” button to reappear and get back into the match, I only had a glimpse of my rope getting burned down and my opponent spamming me with “oopses” while he took his free win. And given that now just 2 losses kick you out of Arena and you have to reassemble the whole deck again, this’s been really fun.

yup happened to me twice already. trying to find any more complainers in the forums lol

edit: first time the freeze/crash was midway arena draft, the second one was playing the arena game

Starting today I have noticed several crashes as well.
First time it crashed as it started up, got to the menu and then it gave up.
Second time was middle of a battleground, in a bad timing as well but it happens.
Third time it crashed before I could finish my round and I lost it because of the crash.

Call it a hunch, but ever since they enabled the Darkmoon Faire shop the whole game has felt very sluggish at startup, it sure does take a lot more time to get started and for the game to be responsive.
Don’t think it’s the cause for the crashes, but knowing what kind of spaghetti code we see sometimes, I wouldn’t be surprised :slight_smile:
