CIvilization 6 Multiplayer Bug

[Mattishere22]

Does anyone know if there is a fix or a workaround to fix a bug pertaining to multiplayer games switching from private to open games when a player becomes desycned or the game is saved and loaded at a later time?

There is a workaround atm, a fix is imposible since u would have to change the code on feraxis server's (they are the ones generationg the public games list)
U can use a VPN with the other players your playing with and then play a LAN game in that VPN
That is more stable than defult multiplayer and u havea workaround to the bug since your isolated in a VPN

Yea it's quite annoying... setting a Private game. Then 1 guy leaves and AI takes over.... you get people jumping in. Why someone would want to hotjoin a game already under way is beyond me.... unless I'm misunderstanding the bug, and it appears in the Lobby as an open or new game?

Yeah, it appears as an open game in the Lobby... it is very annoying and extremely bad on the part of Firaxis.

Makes MP games almost unplayable if someone leaves, gets kicked or desyncs.

So, it seems they have fixed this on the servers but have now introduced something even worse... random crashing!!

My friend had two of his games crash and I had one this evening.

Great *dripping sarcasm*

I saw a workaround for this in Steam, but effin Steam is so frustrating to navigate so I can't find it now lol.
