Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with the Arena mode in Hearthstone. The rest of the game works fine – I can navigate the menus, play other modes, view my collection, etc. – but when I click on Arena, it just shows the loading screen and never progresses. It stays stuck indefinitely.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
- Restarted the game and Battle.net client
- Checked my internet connection (it’s stable)
- Ran “Scan and Repair” via Battle.net
- Reinstalled the game
Nothing has worked so far. I suspect there might be a corrupted Arena run or some kind of account-specific issue preventing it from loading properly.
Same here, the bug report forum also has multiple threats on this. I was hoping to get an answer here, but the game seems just to be broken with no fix in sight.
It is not related to your arena run or such, because I did not login for years (so there should be no arena run) and got the issue.
I found a potential workaround (not sure it works every time):
- Start Arena
- Quickly press the start (1 ticket) button before everything freezes (The Arena will freeze with the hero selection, or at least it did with me)
- Quit the game and restart it
- Enter the Arena again and quickly chose the hero
- After that I was able to play Arena normally
