Players not connecting propertly

[Ermak-]

When players join multi room sometimes they cannot check-in because they do not sync for some reason. Other times when i host and already in game, game stops responding and crashes. Then if I try to rejoin it will give me an error and wont do it. I noticed that it happens when syycing breaks down to some player (bacause if i rehost with same players , someone will not be able to check in ) Also, if people reboot steam it sometimes resolves itself.
Does anyone with more networking knowlage can tell me what's going on? Is this dependant on ISP , Steam, Steam timezone selection, ciV itself?

I have seen this a lot as well, but I think it is directly related to the poor net code they are using right now. The only thing that helps is to make sure you play with known good players that have strong computers and low lag internet connections, and keeping games down to 4 players helps a lot too.

anything above 4 players in mp throws the fun factor out of the game as well

might it be temporary isp clashing? and reboot steam creates a new one that does not clash/ incompatable?
this sometimes happens even with well known players in ladder games

nah! 6 players/small makes for a good game!

I already win too easily with 8, defeating just 6 is an insult to my vast frontal lobe.
