Example: Select a game to start and click to open the table. Nothing happens. Click "Play Now" link. Error...do I really want to leave without opening the table. Hit F5. The table was actually open. Click Play Now and return as normal. I don't see players join. Hit F5. I was actually waiting to click accept. Click accept. Nothing happens. Hit F5. I'm not in the game. Once in the game, things seem to function normally.

Happens on ipad, windows and android. Happens on multiple games, even solo games. Help

Same here.


I understand the value for money argument that keeps going round, but the service is getting worse. The focus seems only to be on new games and not platform stability.

That is boomerang logic. If the platform remains unstable and the prices go up year/year then the customer base will exit.

And I lied... chat inside games won't update and sometimes getting into a game that started takes several tries.

There are several bug reports opened regarding this issue since yesterday, one of which was mine that included a video of what is happening.
I even left a message in general chat including the link to the video after an admin had posted in it about issues being fixed but didn't get an answer.
Go upvote them so that it gains more traction...

I see maintenance is happening on all servers right now, so hopefully this will resolve things.

Still can’t get a game to start on mobil% anyone else.

Same bug for me. I've tried different browser, incognito mode. Nothing works. I have to have my friends host, which they only have access to free games. Very disappointing.

Same issue here. Is there server maintenance happening again?

We already have a much longer discussion about this on another post, at the top of this forum same forum section: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31811
