What is causing this Reconnection Error, exactly?

[VickyButler]

When you create the first power plant in the online game after using an unauthorized map to distribute your MCV, the Reconnection Error first appears. It does not always occur. But it will occasionally happen. How to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Usually recon error means that the 'simulations' of the game on everys player computer go out of sync because they are not identical.

I can happen because:

1.- Someone is cheating or using external programs to have advantage (map hack, fast build, unlimited money, etc) most common.

2.- Different essential game files in game folder (moded files, client out of date, etc)

3.- Mod maps (in this case make sure all players has the same version)

You should check these points before going further.

If these are the reasons why recon errors happen, I wonder why there hasn't been a patch that fixes it once and for all. Maybe a way to make lobbies recon error free. 

Also, I noticed that at times, when someone goes low power, especially towards later of the game, the game recon errors.

Theres an infinite power cheat too, maybe is for that ^^

Anyway such things happening often should make you suspect, simply avoid those players/join other games
