I've played 2 games with this player already (in the past 2 days) and we're both on Steam, playing Civ4 - BtS. When either of us go to create an "Internet Game", neither of us can see each other's game. In fact, we both see different sets of other players' internet games.

We can message through Steam's chat just fine, but it seems like we're connected to different servers now (if that's possible) or have differing BtS versions, even though we played a game just 10 hours ago. Anybody know of an issue like this or how to fix?

UPDATE: Though I never found a fix or cause for this, I was able to join their game via the Steam HUD dropdown menu on his name and selecting "Join Game", causing it to restart BtS and connect to his game. If we weren't friends on Steam, though, it's odd that we wouldn't have been able to connect or even see the same games available.
