repeatedly gathering local files bug
Every time I start MTG Arena, the game is "gathering local files" which takes a couple of minutes (on PC via Steam).
Temporarily, this issue can be fixed by setting the registry entry "HashFilesOnStartup_..." to 0.
But when restarting the next time, it is gathering local files again.

Same here…using on my pc w/o steam. And the gathering local files problem just started happening prior to the open, actually took my first loss due to not being able to reboot quickly. On my iPad the game runs smooth, stable, and fast. Would be nice for wizards to help with a fix or anything since it seems to be a common pc issue

It used to be that restarting my computer would fix this issue, but now it doesn't anymore. Game loads fine on my tablet, not on steam.
I'm not messing with the registry editor.

same thing happening to me, it also drops a "lost connection to server" message once it reaches 97%
