Patch 29.6 was released a couple of days ago, and Blizzard has already started compiling a list of known issues. It seems like we already have a bunch of those already.
So far the biggest ones seem to be Harth Stonebrew having some mistakes in his iconic hands, Arena players getting multiple copies of the same card offered in a single pick, and issues with shop on the EU server. Additionally, Madame Goya has been temporarily banned from the Battlegrounds Duos Hero Pool.
Check out a full list of Patch 29.6 known issues below. We’ll keep this post updated as new issues are added.
Patch 29.6 is here, including the returns of Genn and Baku in Standard, and Buddies in Battlegrounds, plus your first taste of Hearthstone’s next expansion: Perils in Paradise!
Here are some of the known issues we’re tracking this patch:
- [Hearthstone] Harth Stonebrew has gotten his iconic hands confused—the team is looking into it.
- [Battlegrounds] The Buddy Button can’t be pinged. The team is targeting fixing this in the next major patch.
- [Battlegrounds] Fairy Gillmother can generate herself. She’s supposed to let you wish for more fishes, not more wishes.
- [Battlegrounds] Planar Telescope gives nothing if your most common type is not one of the minion types in the game and you’re not at Tier 6 (where there is an “All” type minion).
- [Added 6/17] [Arena] Players can be offered the same card multiple times in the same draft pick. This is scheduled to be fixed in an upcoming hotfix soon.
- [Added 6/17] [Hearthstone] The Boulderfist Ogre Warrior Hero Skin doesn’t work with Baku and Genn, which is terrible for cost.
- [Added 6/18] [Shop] The team is investigating shop closures for players on EU.
- [Added 6/18] [Battlegrounds] Magnetic Zilliax that is Goldenized in the shop can’t be Magnetized. The team is searching for the disconnect.
- [Added 6/18] [Solo Content] Most decks can’t be used in Dalaran Heist and Tombs of Terror.
- [Added 6/18] [General] The team is investigating reports that playing on fullscreen mode with a Mac Desktop client, and then switching windows, causes freeze. Based on reports so far, it appears this issue is avoided if you play on windowed mode.
Battlegrounds Pool Updates:
- Madame Goya has been temporarily banned from the Hero Pool (Duos only) due to an unintended play pattern. The team is evaluating next steps.
