The team is currently investigating increased player reports related to intermittent disconnections, freezing, and general latency issues that may be impacting the gameplay experience in Pokémon TCG Live.
Matches not starting?

Just installed the most recent update.
Casual (standard and expanded) and ranked matches are stuck on the screen before the coin flip is called. Waiting for minutes at the "waiting for [opponent]" screen with no cards on the screen at all. Only way to exit is to concede.
Anyone else? Any ideas?

I haven't had this bug, but I've only had time for one game

Same bug, unable to play any games whatsoever on any platform.

Yup, was stuck for probably close to 10 minutes. Eventually counted as a defeat because I was "inactive for too long". Ironic. Lost rank because of it.

I’m having the same bug. From 1st match after recent update all the way until about 7 matches trying(both rank & casual) it keep freezes there and my rank drop because of that. Tried casual after so that my rank won’t drop for that bug reason. Still the same. They’re aware of it and fix it soon. Patience all
