Board Game Arena

Just started happening today and it's select games but 7 boards in total, 2 the same game (Flip Toons (2 games), Asia TTR map pack, Smokey Mt. Forest Shuffle and Catan New Energy, Heat) all just sitting with barely any bar on the screen opening the game box. I was able to play on these games earlier in the day.
With multiple games can't see how it's a individual game bug.
Thought maybe it was a browser thing but happening on my android and apple laptop.
Just high usage issues with Arena releasing today?

I think past issues like this were explained by the problematic games being on a different server.

Yes I'm seeing it on Agricola. Can't start the game

Thanks, that does make sense.

Same problem, with the Heat game: https://boardgamearena.com/tableview?table=926731210

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but not only is my game stuck on Opening Game Box, there is no way to back out of it and play something else. This has been going on for the last two hours.

Been happening for at least 6 hours.

I am getting this with a game of Azul Summer Pavilion right now as well

Same here. Only in Arena mode though. I seem to be able to join regular “play” games.

Number of moves played is nul since few minutes after 0h00 when looking for the last day.
