Password - how to enter?

[bqlehmann]

So we have a game password protected, but now everyone gets an "invalid password" error when trying to join. What gives? How do people enter password-protected games?

I've had this problem as well, in the following case:

Host is running game with AnnounceOnInternet Disabled.
So, I connect using Manually Enter IP.
I enter the IP address and connect. After a moment, Defcon tells me invalid password, and won't allow me to connect to the game.

However, when attempting to connect to a game on the MetaServer (AnnounceOnInternet set to Enabled) - a password prompt actually appears, asking me for a password. Connecting using Manually Enter IP never presents a prompt.

Yes, there is currently no way to enter a password if you're connecting manually to a server.

Should be fixed, hopefully it will =).

I don't think this has been fixed. Got this problem today.

If you right click on a game and try to connect using the "Connect" button an error appears saying Invalid Password, without you actually entering a password.

However if you double click on the game in the server browser you are asked for the password and can join no problem.
