yeah hi,
im the next guy having the same annoying problem.
and to say, i just wanted to check for some bugs cuz i found quite a few, wanted to help instead im wasting my precious time here failing to login.
that pisses me off. that said to the issue (and please please with sugar on top dont tell me how i need a mantis account I KNOW - AND THATS NOT THE PROBLEM):
as u can see i managed to create a forum account and register my steam key otherwise i could not post in this forum right,
so i SHOULD be able to go through the first login screen so i can see the mantis screen, but the first dialoge just gives me this
"Failed to authenticate user. Did you type in your username / password correctly?
Please try again or visit support.introversion.co.uk for support. "
i quoted flitzpiepe, since he described the same problem and even posted this screenshot of it.
THIS IS MY PROBLEM:
http://img.xrmb2.net/580318im clarifying:
http://www.introversion.co.uk/prisonarchitect/register/THIS WORKS, and after i login into THIS i get the options:
You already own Prison Architect.
You can access the Alpha forum here. (WORKS, gets me HERE)
You can access the wiki here. (NOT WOKRING!!!!!!!!!) -> 2nd login in screen, which after typing everything in gives me "Failed to authenticate user... "
You can access the bugs database here. (NOT WOKRING !!!!!!!!!) -> 2nd login in screen, which after typing everything in gives me "Failed to authenticate user... "
You can access the Alpha builds here. (WORKS)
so whats the problem? this is a retarded circuit. clicking on "If you have forgotten your login details, or if you are not sure you have registered for access please visit: " just gets me back to
http://www.introversion.co.uk/prisonarchitect/register/ and that WORKS as stated above... what a loop...!!!
then theres the post from gaskell:
gaskell wrote:After getting frustrated with this as well I finally worked out why I was having trouble (and maybe why others are too). The login with the Introversion logo asks for USERNAME not email.
I was entering my email and password and wondering why it would not let me in. Fail.
Anyway, just hoping this complete lack of noticing the obvious might help someone else that fell into the same thing I did.
oh yeah and my pw consists of normal letters, but my username doesnt. obviously. so what now. hope u r not gonna tell me i HAVE to use the USERNAME not EMAIL ??? (email works on the PA and introversion login screens) but at the same time no space and no localised charachters? wtf??? i even looked in the forum options (which i rly didnt want to do!!!) yeah i can change my pw, but not the USERNAME.... if thats rly the problem then maybe the forum should not allow me to create it like this or at leastet put a bug red warning sign up.
cuz if that would be the case i dont know what to do... wirting some support ticket for suername change, oh cmon rly?!
i repeat myself hopfully saving me and others those not-so-helpful replies...
THIS IS MY PROBLEM:
http://img.xrmb2.net/580318not manits
and i couldnt find a solution, since for flitzpiepe it like miracoulsly worked (gz) but no solution was posted

((
unfortunately i will not be able to point out bugs as longs as this is issue is persisting
(PS, FYI: i just want to make it very clear what i mean, since it seems there was some confusion earlier when other ppl experienced the same issue, so please dont feel atttacked or anything yeah ok thx)
and thx for any help

http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/login_page.php . I believe that the page is protected by .htaccess, so you will need to give it your forum credentials to get to the tracker login page. You will then have to create a tracker account, as well.

From the link i posted you come to an overview where the mentioned link from you can be find - and if i visit this page, entering my forum credentials, i get the mentioned error ...
Frankly, I don't know which stage of the authentication is failing. As I said, when you try to access the tracker, you first have to use your forum credentials to get through the first round of authentication, then you have to create a new account for the tracker. Can you provide screenshots of the authentication dialogs that you are filling out and the errors that you are getting?

I visit your link, enter my credentials, get this error:
