I've found a fix to it. It might not work for you, but it fixed to me.
So, the thing is, what caused me the issue is still unknown, but I have an idea. But to fix this, when you first start the game, I assume that it doesn't start for you either, and you click on play game again. Don't. That's what caused me this bug. Just wait till it starts. It might take a little time like 1 minute or so, but it will eventually start without any issue. Hope it will fix it for you either.
Have fun.
