For the past month, I’ve noticed that every time I start Hearthstone, my PC’s performance takes a nosedive. My CPU usage spikes dramatically, and it even causes my internet to drop until the game crashes. This has been super frustrating, and I’m looking for any fix or workaround. I’ve tried waiting for the recent patches to improve things, but nothing seems to have changed.

I’m running a 5070ti alongside an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, and I’ve faced crashes too. It’s been quite annoying lately! I think it’s a broader issue affecting multiple setups.
If you’re looking for a quick fix, try adding -force-d3d11 in the game settings as an additional command line. I did that, and it actually helped a lot! Sure, I still have to restart the game occasionally, but it’s significantly better than before.
I totally feel you! It seems like the performance issues really took off after the Battlegrounds patch. A lot of players have been experiencing the same thing, and it looks like Blizzard hasn’t addressed it yet. Honestly, the game’s client feels like it’s hit a breaking point. It’s tough to keep throwing money at them for new cards and skins when they can’t even fix these issues.
