Board Game Arena

I have only been developing since the beginning of the year but I have only had this happen in the last few days. In one of the games I am developing (not the second one) I can get to the create a new table page and the create button transfers, as usual, to the next page but the "Express Start" button on that page does not move me to the page where the game opens up.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? and what to do about it?
Thanks.

Maybe you swith to turn based games ? For those, you need to click Open table after express starting it. But the good point is it doesn't change your other Studio tabs, when the Real-time wipes them all.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have already tried just about every combination I can think of. Can't get the game started.

Are there some error displayed, in a red message or the console?

Console after loading the create game page:

I get much the same(though in a different order) when I start (successfully) my other game.

Nothing new in the console after clicking on the create button or express start button.


About10 seconds after clicking Express Start in the top message bar: Unable to contact the server. Are you connected to the internet?

Is it possible you may have an infinite loop in your setup? Try commenting part of it until it starts, you should locate the error this way.

You have put me on the right track - it does seem to be some issue with my code - I will track it down now. Thanks for your help.

For anyone else experiencing this, my issue was with an error in the javascript file. It was the first time it didn't go through to trying to open up the game and giving the error in the console.
