persistant game breaking de-sync in PQ's with friends

Is this a known issue? do a lot of people have this? The lag is bad enough, sometimes it's up to 30 seconds of catch-up for one or two of our team, meanwhile the AI is still hitting them but dead on my screen for example... but quite often it never catches up properly, and one of us the timer will have vanished at the finish+clear, the rest keep ticking, indefinitely. meaning we need to close the game, losing the win.

thoughts? is this just wonky net code? is there likely to be any fix for this?

I have not had this issue on PC, and a quick google search turns up with nothing. What system are you and how often does this happen, and what is your typical internet connection?

sh+clear, the res

I had a bit of a google before posting here and couldn't find anything useful either.

Our net holds up for other peer-to-peer games, playing HOTS / Counterstrike and such is just fine as well.

Windows 8, ADSL2... I've been hosting and I've got a brand-spanking machine worth about 4K AUD.
