Bug Fixes

Client Fixes

General

      • The client should now correctly open in its last saved resolution for Surface Pro users instead of defaulting back to the device’s native resolution.
      • After disconnecting from a ranked or draft game, players should no longer see their PvP point change for that disconnected game following their next gauntlet game.
      • Rarely, getting the exact same rewards for both ranked and draft would cause one set of rewards to not be granted properly. This should no longer occur and you should always get your season rewards for both ranked and draft.
      • Players should no longer fail to join some draft games, resulting in a timeout loss.
      • You should no longer be able to accidentally enter a gauntlet without having selected a deck.
      • Cards acquired from Jekk’s Bounty should now correctly use the collection diamonds that indicate they cannot be destroyed.
      • Cards with ambush should now correctly present to the opponent when played as an ambush.

Android/iOS

      • Performance optimizations for low-end Android devices.
      • There should no longer be a long delay to receive your gems if you crash after a purchase on Android.
      • The totem preview button should now render correctly on the shield tv.
      • Totems should now appear correctly on Android devices without artifacting.
      • Interruptions during a purchase on iOS should no longer cause the purchase to fail.

UI

    • Multiple small UI bug fixes throughout the client.
    • Multiple improvements to how friends display and interact in the friend’s list.
    • The influence breakdown chart in the advanced deckbuilder view should now represent factionless cards correctly.
    • Hidden achievements should now correctly appear as completed in the achievement list without needing to restart the client.
    • The turn button should no longer say “Fight!” when the attacker has a response to an opponent’s action. It will now correctly say “Continue”.

Card Fixes

  • Having multiple Shadowlands Feasters in play will now longer cause stolen units to bounce back and forth between voids.
  • Rilgon should no longer receive double damage for the turn following a spell cast during the end of a turn.
  • Burn Out will no longer instruct you to sacrifice a unit after you have already picked a unit to sacrifice.

  • All Seats and Banners now have “depleted” in bold.
