Poker Town - Can't start a Game

For a lot of folks, the game will load & let you get to a table -- however, it will not let you start the game.  Four people ready to play & when you click on start game nothing happens.  Just keeps the timer going , then asks if you want to wait or leave.  I've tried to start several games, clicking on start game after it times but just won't start.

Hi aquapugs6​  and PlantsAndYarn2ST​,

Thank you both for describing what's been happening for you. It sounds like what you're seeing is a bit different from the 26% loading bar freezing issues, so I've moved your posts into this thread so we can focus on this with you.

4 people are enough to start a game, so it's not the party size causing this. Hmmm... it may help to know a bit more.

>>> Could you confirm if you are the host of these games when this issue happens? 

If you are the game hosts when this happens, could you pop the answers to the following questions into your replies please PlantsAndYarn2ST​ and aquapugs6​?

Hoping this may help fill in some of the blanks.
