Missing hands because the client wont open the game quick enough.

I'm sick of this ****. I joined a Timed Tournament (late entry 1 minute after it had started) but by the time the table had opened I had lost my BB and was sitting out. It happens regularly. Its 2020 fix your ****.

Just to add, the launch table button doesn't appear until the client loads the table and finding your name in the list of players doesn't work as you cant click your name until the table launchs, and when that happens you are usually sitting out.

    I must admit this does seem to be getting worse ......... so far the Top Hands I've missed playing are Q-Q, J-J, A-J. :/:'(

    I'm not very techy....... can I ask why this happens please :*

    This has been a longstanding problem for me, on the OSX Air client, though I rarely miss more than a few hands.

    One helpful tip I've figured out is to keep an eye on the lobby as the "launch tournament" button often appears a little while before the window pops open itself.

    I always keep clicking on the Tournament in the lobby and 'Launch Tournament' button as soon as it appears, but I still miss the Opening Hand. I know it's boring for others sat there, but could the timer before the Tournament/Sit'n'Go starts, be extended as it is in Main Events?

    Just happened twice in a row on DYM turbo, the second game I got to sit on the 3rd hand. This is a joke.

    First game of the day opens and i missed 2 hands. If I cant sit down and play every hand I want a refund. I'm not paying less yet i'm starting with less. How is this allowed?

    I'm reasonably tech savvie @MISTY4ME so the best way to solve missing the first couple of hands on each table is

    STOP DRINKING PINTS OF JACK DANIELS & COKE!! :p

    FALLING ASLEEP WITH F ARTING & SNORING WAKING YOU UP TO START A GAME ....

    Any News from SKY Towers on this @Tikay10 or the reason why it happens??

    Sadly missed this earlier in Sharpshooter Semi..... the 2nd Hand of 2 I missed. Obviously some players tables had opened.
    Just for the record.......I'm not in the habit of FOLDING A-Ks that early in a Tourney ;)

    Cheers Tony @Tikay10 . That's really good of you, and Thanks for your quick response.

    At least I managed to qualify for tonight's Main after an epic Bubble and +1 took about an hour! :)
