What is this report about?
What happened ? Please select from below
At some point I was unable to do ANY game action (game blocked and abandonned)
Detailed description
• At which step of the game did the problem occurs (what was the current game instruction)?
Many times, when i started a table in german, when the game starts a player said sorry because they have not realized, that the game was in german language. This happens very often and german players are rare. that means sometimes that i have to wait a few more days, befor i can play the game again and when it happens again it can get very frustrating.
I think it would be great to create a popup for players that want to join a game. A popup that says: "This game is in (language). Do you want to continue?"• What happened when you try to do a game action (error message, game status bar message, ...)?

It happens about every second game i opened, that someone has not seen that the game was in german language.

I have no control over this since it's happening in BGA main site, before my game begins. BGA admins may be able to do something here but I cannot do anything about it as the game developer of Hardback.
(A similar problem happens for me with Decrypto, but in reverse. Sometimes I join a game expecting English, there's no indication in the main lobby that the game is in another language, and yet it's not in English once the game starts.)

I experience the same issue with other word games. I opened a bug report against BGA main website, which you can upvote here: boardgamearena.com/bug?id=123892
