The Known Issues with the current Patch of Hearthstone, as reported by Blizzard. Read on to see what's going on!

Updated: Wednesday Post Release.

Quote from Blizzard

Patch 29.0 is now live. Join us in celebrating 10 years of Hearthstone! This patch includes tons of card updates, preparations for Whizbang’s Workshop and new year, and more. Unfortunately, with a patch of this size, there are a few issues.

---

The following is a list of issues we’re tracking this patch:

• [Hearthstone] A few card change reverts didn’t make it into the initial Patch Notes 193. They’ve now been added. Consider them bonus reverts!
• [Resolved] [Twitch Drops] We’re investigating an issue where Community Day drops aren’t being granted as expected. (Update: It appears likely this is the standard delay with Twitch drops, where it can take up to 48 hours for drops to appear. The team will continue to track this issue and take action if needed.)
• [In-Game Rewards] People who logged in after 10 a.m. PDT, but before Patch 29.0 is live on their device, will see the wrong version of the WoW Hearthsteed Mount in the pop-up.
• [Resolved] [In-Game Rewards] Some players who tried to claim the WoW Fiery Hearthsteed Mount in Hearthstone immediately after it was supposed to go live did not receive the mount. This issue has been resolved for users going forward, and players who were affected by it already should be able to just log into Hearthstone again and receive the mount.
• [Resolved 3/14] [Hearthstone] Legacy cards without rarities were given rarities ahead of them entering Core (like Boulderfist Ogre and Shadow Word: Pain), resulting in them showing up in packs. Players who incorrectly received these cards from packs will get a refund in a future update.
• [Resolved 3/14] [Hearthstone] The new Silver Hand Recruits are acting like different minions for purposes of cards like Tyr’s Tears. We’re assigning them additional training while we look into this issue.
• [Added 3/11] [Battlegrounds] The team is looking into reports that using Greta to goldenize certain Spellcraft minions doesn’t result in giving their Golden Spellcraft spell that turn.
• [Updated 3/12] [General] The team is aware that some players are stuck on the exterior game box when trying to enter the app. The team is investigating the issue. In the meantime, there is a workaround: Player reports indicate that the buttons on the box still function, just aren’t visible, so the solution to this problem is to repeatedly tap/click in the middle of the box where the buttons should be, until you get a response. (If you have sound on, you will hear the buttons working). Update: another potential workaround has been found–it appears the problem might be caused by not having Battlegrounds downloaded when claiming Battlegrounds-based Twitch Drops–so downloading Battlegrounds may also resolve the issue.
• [Added 3/13] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that Galactic Projection Orb might not work under certain circumstances.
• [Resolved 3/14] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that Battlecry minions don’t deal damage while Shudderblock’s aura is active.
• [Added 3/12] [Hearthstone] Ysera may be giving the wrong version of her Dream cards. We’re taking her to a therapist to analyze her dreams.
• [Added 3/14] [Hearthstone] Sonya Waterdancer is able to give a copy of herself when played for 1 mana. This is not intended and will be resolved in an upcoming hotfix.
• [Added 3/14] [Hearthstone] Crane Game sometimes doesn’t function as intended. The team has determined the cause of the issue and will resolve it in an upcoming update.
• [Resolved] [Tavern Brawl] This week’s Tavern Brawl (“Say My Name”) is being temporarily disabled while we investigate an issue causing lag and crashes. We will update this post when we have more information. Update: We’ve taken some steps to mitigate the issues and re-enabled the Tavern Brawl. We’ll be monitoring the game data to determine if further actions are needed.

3/19: Whizbang’s Workshop is now live!

• [Added 3/19] [General] Some players are reporting that the “Year of” calendar rotation did not work on their first attempt. Logging out and relogging seems to fix the issue.
• [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] The Li’Na, Shop Manager Signature card is being granted to some players before they are able to collect Li’Na on the Rewards Track. The team is investigating the issue and resolution.
• [Added 3/19] [Shop] Players are reporting various performance issues with the Shop. The team is investigating.
• [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Zilliax’s Power Module is sometimes giving the wrong cosmetic finish. The team is still working on unity, precision, and perfection.
• [Added 3/19] [Shop] The team is investigating Diamond King Plush not triggering a re-roll option like expected.
• [Added 3/19] [Web] The website deckbuilder hasn’t been updated for the new year yet.
• [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Spirit of the Badlands doesn’t seem to be in the spirit for Miniaturize cards and doesn’t leave Minis.
• [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Galactic Projection Orb can hit functionally dead minions in between spells. The team is exploring the mysteries of the universe for answers.
• [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Cards that deal yourself fatigue damage (like Baritone Imp and Crescendo) as part of their effect don’t progress Amethyst Spellstone. This is not a bug, just a weird edge interaction where the damage is taken indirectly through fatigue, not from the cards themselves.
• [Added 3/20] [Hearthstone] Khadgar’s Wisdomball can sometimes target friendly minions, making it less helpful than intended.

• [3/20] Cloning Conch has been removed from the Tavern Spell pool.
