With the patch last week, some bugs were introduced. This week the Heroes team has hotfixed some of those bugs, the biggest being fixes to the reconnection system. If you ever got disconnected one of the problems is it would sit there for a certain amount of time to catch you up to the game in progress to insert you back in. There are times I have been disconnected and reconnected to the game but had to wait 2 or 3 minutes for things on the server side to let me in. There was also an annoying bug that this would happen to on the victory screen (which happened to us a couple weeks ago during the Heroes Powerhour).

As mentioned in our February 18 Maintenance thread, we deployed a hotfix update for the Heroes of the Storm Closed Beta in order to fix a few bugs that arrived with our previous patch. Complete patch notes for today’s hotfx have been listed below, as well as added to our February 10 Patch Notes blog.

General

• The Reconnect System has received several improvements, which should help players more quickly rejoin in-progress Heroes matches from which they’ve disconnected. The Reconnect System will continue to undergo evaluation going forward, and further improvements will be implemented as necessary with future updates.

Battlegrounds

• Resolved a crash that could occur while playing on the Garden of Terror Battleground.
