Well, that's what asynchronous mode is. Its weaknesses are well known - somebody has to decide who's "laggy". That pretty much makes it a no-go for league games, unless we have a dedicated server.
Edit: Something that we could act on would be the known problems with packet losses (aka WLAN). That would mean reimplementing my rather naive guaranteed-delivery UDP network layer (

C4NetIOUDP). Good exercise if somebody wants to implement a low-level network protocol. On the other hand, it's a shot into the dark really - we have no hard data whatsoever whether it will make a noticeable difference.
