29.6 Known Issues

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.
• [Added 6/20] [Hearthstone] The new Diamond Illidan skin has issues after transforming if you have a Health modifying enchantment (like Prince Renathal).
• [Added 6/21] [General] The team is investigating reports of some players being prompted to repeatedly download an update each time they open the client. In the meantime, it appears that a full reinstall should resolve the issue.

Battlegrounds Pool Updates:

• Queen Azshara has been temporarily removed from the Hero Pool due to a bug.
• Madame Goya has been temporarily removed from the Hero Pool (Duos only) due to an unintended play pattern. The team is evaluating next steps.
• Elise Starseeker has been temporarily removed from the Hero Pool (Duos only) due to a bug with her Buddy.
• Aranna Starseeker has been temporarily removed from the Hero Pools (Duos only) due to a bug.
