Why am I always getting kicked from multiplayer?

[BLACKcOPstRIPPa]

I have not played a single on line match yet because it says error joining multiplayer session or that the host kicked me...

Is there some firewall setting I need to adjust or something?
Or why are people kicking people who join a public lobby?

There are some situations where private games are becoming public. It's not clear what they are yet.

Or people are arranging games that they ought to have made private but can't be bothered.

Actually, the issue is quite clear. Lets suppose that you start a public game, enjoyed it, but the game hung on plz wait or started to desync a lot. You decided to do the workaround suggested here, rehost.

When you rehost a game, the settings are fixed, including if the game is public or private. As consequence, you are locked to a public game, even if the rehost would supposed to be private, meaning that a lot of people get into the game when they were not supposed to, needing to be kicked.

That cannot be the only reason. I am also unable to get into a MP game. Havent played one single game. It either says error or kicked. I doubt there is that many games of those you describe

I made a lobby and was playing with 7 other people.
by turn 80 there was 3 of us left because it said people were disconnecting and multiple people tried to connect again and caused game to mini freeze a couple times before it saying they disconnected again

I think dispite firaxis's efforts, onnce again they launched a civ game with crappy multiplayer .

like with civ 5, but atleast this game has more support on the way because it's new and is in WAY better shape then civ 5 now in my opinion before any expansions.

And no I don't hate civ lol, I have over 1000 hours on last one, I love civ 5 and 6 just like norm firaxis needs time to put it ina cacoon and make it into something beautiful:)
