Stuck on Loading game for the first time

Hi, our last upload to GMTK jam has been stuck on "loading game for the first time" for more than an hour already and we're not really sure, what could be the problem, since previous uploads worked fine. 

Here's the link for the game: https://sukuba.itch.io/roll-dome

I tried downloading the zip file, and it seems it's ok. Any suggestions where could be a problem? 

Thanks.

I forced a re-extraction and it appears to be working now. It looks like some games got stuck during the heavy submission period from GMTK jam.

Thank you! It's working now :)

Any chance you could do this for my game also? https://jasontherand.itch.io/gmtk22

It’s fixed

Hello! Sorry to bother, but this is also happening to my game! Would you care to take a look? https://lactose-intolerant.itch.io/the-error

I can see the embed, I don’t believe anyone on our team made any changes. Was the issue resolved?

it was! Just by itself, nothing done by me!

We also met this issue on our game : https://becher.itch.io/dead-dice-redemption

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Looks like it’s functioning on my end. Are you still having an issue?

seems like it worked after i zipped the game with windows zipping tool instead of winrar
Thanks for the answer tho

Hello,

I am having the same problem with a game I uploaded about an hour ago. It is still stuck on the "Loading game for the first time..."

If there is any way I can get this problem fixed that would be amazing. Thank you

I have same issue past few days and all I did to make it work was keep upload same file every certain time and try until it works (you wait  around 5 second and if it doesn't finished load you gonna try upload again later). I saw some old discussion said the issue happened because high volume of upload during the time.
