1. Start other game, I used CS:GO but any MP cappable game should work.
2. Start CIV6. So now, both games are running.
3. Now you will be able to join lobby and play mp.
4. When you are in MP game, you can close that other game.

This worked for me and my friend.
Seems that it is steam's problem. I guess CIV6 can't fully connect to steam, and it does not allow to establish connection with server. This workaround is similar to steam mp crack workarounds, but this workaround is without any cracks... So it is kinda legal and safe mp crack :D

Try this, sounds stupid , but worked 4 me

Tried this, Launched CS GO then Launched Civ tried joining my friend game, didn't work. Do you have to be in a game in CS GO?

I've had trouble connecting to Steam servers in a couple of other games this week. I'm also finding that I keep getting put into Offline mode in Steam and disconnected from Steam Friends.

A couple of things you could check:

1) In the Friends tab in the top-left of the Steam browser, check you're not in Offline mode.

2) Go to the Civ VI page in your Steam Library and check, on the right of that page, that you're signed in to Steam Friends. It'll say 'Sign In' if you're not.

This shebaka post helps with epic games multiplayer problems as well

What game did you open? I'm trying this method, tried using SCBW and SC2, still can't join rooms. I'm telling my buddy to do the same, so we both have a game running in background. I'll let you know if it works.

EDIT:

Didn't work for me.

Me and my buddy ran a SC2 game in the background, and no luck.

My friend opened up apex legends and let it run in the backround when he joined the server. I think its a problem with the firewall not letting civ get through and when you have a multiplayer game running elsewhere it tricks the firewall.

I play multiplayer tons and got a long experience with mods.

If anything, the past 6 months updates has improved multiplayer games.
For once, you dont need to have the same mods anymore.

I have noticed that players who dont use Win 10, get weird issues sometimes. This is OS and system related which of course makes your gaming experience worse.

If you can play civ solo with no problems, you should not get any issues in multiplayer now.

What system are you using?
Do you have all expansions?
Is your game steam updated?
