Common Problems

  • Losing connection to matches in Hearthstone
  • Error: "Closed. You were disconnected from the Blizzard services. Please relaunch Hearthstone to reconnect."
  • Error: "The game failed to start because your opponent failed to connect. Please Try Again."

Before trying any of the following steps check the BlizzardCS Twitter for any service interruptions.

  1. Reset your network devices to make sure your router hasn't become flooded with data.
  2. Release and renew your IP and flush your DNS to resolve any network conflicts.
  3. Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues.
  4. If you're using a wireless connection, optimize your internet connection to rule out a connection issue.
  5. Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.
Advanced Troubleshooting
  1. If you're using a VPN, try removing it.
  2. Disable any proxies that may interfere with the login module.
  3. Run a security scan to remove any viruses or malware infections.
  4. Configure your security software's exception list to allow Blizzard applications to run.
  5. Old firmware on your modem and router can cause issues with complex game connections. Visit the manufacturer's website for instructions on how to apply firmware updates.
