Update: Known issues post was updated. Looks like The Golden Hammer and Kidnap Sack Quest rewards were temporarily disabled in Battlegrounds. They will get re-enabled in a future patch after the issue they’re causing is fixed.
Patch 24.6 was released yesterday, and just like always, we had some issues, bigger and smaller.
The biggest issue was definitely general client/server stability – the game felt sluggish, sometimes you couldn’t create/change decks, the post-game screen lagged really hard, and so on. Not everyone was affected in the same way, but many people reported that the game was nearly unplayable for them. Luckily, today’s hotfix patch which should have already been rolled out on all servers, have made things much better.
We’ve got a new client build in flight, that will hopefully solve a bunch of the intermittent issues being experienced.
Starting with just PC in EU right now, and will expand to other platforms/regions as we verify that it’s working right. Let us know if the lag/issues stop!

Other than that, we had some problems related to installing the game from Amazon Store on mobile and issues with Reaper’s Toll Battlegrounds strike (which was already fixed) + Faceless Disciple minion (which is now disabled).
Check out full known issues post here, I’ll be updating it every day for the next few days:
Hello all,
Patch 24.6 is now live on desktop and mobile. Follow this post for details on known issues being tracked with this patch.
The issues we’re tracking this patch include:
• [FIXED] [Update, 11/2] The team is aware that some Amazon users are having issues installing and updating to 24.6, this is currently being investigated.
• [Update, 11/2] A hotfix is being deployed to fix the Reaper’s Toll Battlegrounds Strike issue, in addition to adding general server stability. Reaper’s Toll will become available again once this update has deployed to all platforms.
• [Update, 11/2] One Battlegrounds Minion, Faceless Disciple, has been temporarily disabled due to it causing crashes in the 24.6 update.
• The team is aware that the back button from the Shop has a slightly smaller responsive area than intended, and is too close to the products, leading to players sometimes missing the button. This will be resolved in a future patch.
• [FIXED] The Reaper’s Toll Battlegrounds Strike has been temporarily disabled, as it is causing disconnections when eliminating a player. It can still be marked as your favorite, but the effect will not trigger in-game. It will be reenabled once the issue is resolved.
• The team is investigating reports that a small number of Mercenaries players got “stuck” in a Bounty if they started that Bounty with a Mystery Node before the 24.6 patch and then attempted to complete the Bounty after the patch. Players should be able to Retire the run to “unstick” themselves.
• [Added 11/7] We are temporarily disabling The Golden Hammer and Kidnap Sack Quest Rewards due to a gameplay issue they can cause in certain circumstances. We will reenable them in a future patch.We will continue to update this post as we get more information.
‘…The team is aware that some Amazon users are having issues installing and updating to 24.6, this is currently being investigated…’
If by that they mean that the game isn’t installing /updating anymore via the Amazon Appstore then f**k yeah, I’m ‘having issues’.
3 days into the patch, still not working. Great job.
Remove Toxfin from Battlegrounds already!
