Neither of us could make a move. It said application loading, but nothing loaded. So eventually I quit so I could play other games.

je vois les cartes du jeu à l'écran mais impossible de faire une action sur cette partie à deux jours. le jeu me dit qu'il est en chargement. Pas moyen de lancer le jeu, ni de le quitter par commun accord, ni d'abandonner. Bref aucune action possible en dehors de quitter le jeu avec une mauvaise réputation.
Je suis sur Firefox 88.0.1 (64 bits)

I got 20 points karma cause I leave the game

Same for us as well on table 190789297. Might I suggest that if we're essentially forced to quit that we shouldn't be penalised on getting -ve karma (or that we be compensated)? :)
28. Aug 2021 13:13 • enrpot • Bug has been confirmed by developers:
Game not started (2 players with sheeps to be placed at the beginning), F5 doesn't solve the problem, also the other player cannot start.

F5 didnt solve the problem
The problem occurred twice
I started a real time game but once the game had started I could not do any action on the page, couldnt even access the setting bga menu (the 3 lines and other things in the top right corner).

Game doesn't load. Refresh doesn't help. Occurred on Mobile Chrome. Also occurred on PC. It's a server to BGA issue. Not local to device or browser issue. It's some kind of integration problem. Screen shot provided at link below. imgur.com/Ia1XzKb
If you wait half a day, it will become unstuck. But by that point, you lost your gaming audience who wanted to play the game.

This has been ongoing for a while now. At least a week. We play one game, successfully, but then can't start a second game. We get stuck on an application loading screen.
Refreshing does not help.
Trying to clear cache does not help.
Using a different browser\device does not help.
The game is stuck on application loading and does not start. We have to abandon the game and wait overnight\24 hours before we can play this game again.
This is one of the many reasons I opted not to renew my premium membership.

I'm having this problem too in a realtime 2 player game with quick setup (table 464035378). Browser refresh didn't fix it. Switching browsers didn't either. Consistently happens with this table. If you look at the browser console:

many games wouldn't load stating its waiting for a person to join the game. It takes a while then I refresh the page then I'm in the game but penalized for not making any moves and I have lost a lot of karma due to that.
