Might want to leave this as instructions for any replies to your issue:

If you're also experiencing this issue please add any additional context that is useful, the developer impact to yourself, and the player impact to your users. As an example, if spectator-v4 isn't working it might affect a scouting site, but it could also affect a mobile app or site to share replays. Give the context on how this issue affects your project.

Unfortunately that means this is not the place for your report

@MaximilianRu While this is not a fixed and I agree that it can be troublesome, there is a workaround: after 30s to 1minute after the loading screen, while it's paused, you can click at the beginning of the timeline and the game will start
