Board Game Arena

Hey folks,

this happened to me 200+ times in the past year so I am going to ask now.

What does it mean when the green bar turns red in the Arena Queue (Waiting for 1 more player)?
If I refresh page it turns to "Waiting for 0 players" and is stuck there.
If I change to table mode and back to Arena or log into BGA fresh to enter the queue the old table often started without me and I am again at "Waiting for 3 players".

What is going on? How to handle this?

Not sure if it helps you, but I observed that the arena queues dont like it when there are other bga tabs opened besides the one where you started queueing.

I would go even as far as to say the queue doesn't like any other tab open - but in some games Arena takes 15 minutes and more to find a match - so staring at the screen or going for a walk seems not an option...
