Can't start solo game

Post by Akilles25 »

Yesterday I played 5 solo games and today whenever I'm trying to start a game it won't do anything. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

There is no way to know based on your description. "it won't do anything" does not tell us where you got stuck, what you're trying to click on, or anything else that would help.

The most likely scenario is that you are not in training mode, which is required for a solo game.

I click on real-time (as opposed to turn-based, I don't know if this matters or not) and then click on Start now solo. It says All set! starting in 3s-2s-1s.. but it does not create the game. I don't really know what you mean by training mode, I don't remember changing anything else yesterday and like I said I managed to get 5 games

WORKAROUND:
It seems, solo games are still working in the old lobby:

Go to "Play now", then change from "Automatic" to "Manual" on the top of the page if necessary. When you create the table, first switch from "normal mode" to "training mode". Then reduce the player number to 1.
