Same issue running the IOS app. Ran fine until yesterday, Now “finding running game” message pops up when creating single player game and it times out and goes back to the main menu.

@gusty seal @vestal void Log out by logging into a different version of the game, for example the browser or phone app
usually fixes that issue for me

@shrewd tinsel thank you it did solve it!

I logged out but was unable to log back in, the “find running game” message popped up and wouldn’t go away. So, I shut down the app and restarted it. I was then able to log in and things appear to be normal. Thanks for the tip.

This is very frustrating. All I want to do is play. Has anyone had success resetting it? I’ve tried everything even signing on computer it’s just completely frozen in a loop

Catan Universe “Finding Running Game” Issue - Quick Fix Guide
Tags: @harsh hull @vestal void @snow void @Niqht
Problem Summary
Since the recent update, players are getting stuck on the
Finding Running Gamescreen when trying to start any game mode (single-player, multiplayer, or tutorial). The game then returns to the main menu, preventing any game from launching.
Solution Steps
1. Log Out on a Different Platform:
- If you’re on Steam or Mac, try logging into Catan Universe from the mobile app (iOS/Android) or via a web browser.
- Logging in on another device/platform often resets the game state, which can fix the loop.
2. Restart the Game App:
- After logging out, fully close the app (force quit if necessary).
- Log back in on your main device/platform to check if the issue is resolved.
3. Uninstall & Reinstall (If Needed):
- If the above steps don’t work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Catan Universe.
- This is usually a last resort, as the log-in fix often resolves the issue.
Note to @harsh hull
Due to the frequency of this issue since the recent update, an official walkthrough for these steps would be valuable for players.
Hopefully, this guide will help others facing the same issue!

It fixed my issue for a bit, but the problem stil prevails, when I want to play with my sister. I load into the game and for me the AI freezes but plays for my sister
