By myself, or with others (i.e. Pawz just now), it just sits there for ages saying "Starting" after I hit Ready.
What are your specs? Starting a game can take some time. And are you talking after you joined an army or even before that?
I can get in to the lobby, I can join an army, I hit "ready" and it goes to the "starting game" screen and just sits there with the Uber symbol throbbing endlessly. I did give it a long time, I just started surfing the web while I waited, probably 5-10mins. Specs are: Core i5-750 @ 3.3Ghz 4Gb RAM Radeon HD5770
