Poker Town - Can't start a Game

same here

We pay to play these games and it seems they can’t fix these problems.  Maybe time to stop playing them  

Same problem here. I've been trying for 2 days.  Gave up on the game

i cannot play poker town. please fix this as i pay to play these games and half of them have bugs and i cant play them

Poker Town Can't Play either. Load all players show up and it won't let us play, 

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.

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

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​?

• Does this happen in every Poker Town game:
• Which game modes has this happened in:
• When this started happening for you:
• What devices you've tested this from:
• What browsers you've played this on:
• How do other Pogo games perform:
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps:

Hoping this may help fill in some of the blanks.

Hi folks.

Thanks for flagging this. Could I double-check something with you?

❓When this happens, are you the host of the game?

The host will be the player sitting in the left-most seat. 

When everyone has joined the table, the host needs to press the Start button to begin the game. No one else will be able to start the game.

Hey selavn​,

We want you to be able to get into the game and have a great time playing, so I'm sorry to hear you've not been able to.

Could you describe what's stopping you from being able to play Poker Town? Are you seeing an error message? Could you share an image/screenshot of the issue?

I am the host.  3 people join.  I hit start game and the timer just keeps resetting.  This has been an issue for at least 2 days now.  Please fix this game!  Thank you.

I don't know about the others, but it has happened to me as host and also as one who has joined a game.  Full room in all situations, can't start.  Playing on a Chromebook and it's been happening for roughly 3 days now.
