Hi,
I had the exact same issues today as mentioned above:
About 15-20m into Defending Hope on standard the game froze. I could select cards and click as if to play them but nothing moved. Also, wall construction would show up when I hovered above an unbuilt wall, but no animations were played. Exit match did not work, I had to quit battleforge entirely by choosing "Exit Battleforge" in the options menu. After that i restarted the game, could successfully log in and started up Defending Hope again on Standard and got stuck on the loading screen. The loading bar was full and my mouse icon was showing but it was stuck. Had to close the game with Task manager.
Today's log is attached.
