Hi,
I had the exact same problem two days ago with the countdown stopping and auto-cancel, but yesterday, I tried it again, and the game worked again. I have no idea why it’s working now but not before.

I am having the same exact problem since yesterday. How has this not been addressed?

Still having this problem. I have noticed that its only happening with one specific civilization (ottomans). I can launch when I select any other civilization.

I have the exact same problem. No support team member helps?
