I can't join my own server with correct password (BO2 MP)
-
As the title says.
I AM however able to join my server if I do not set a password.
My server 100% works fine without a password.I troubleshooted these possible solutions already:
- I don't have the "//" in front of the password line in the "dedicated.cfg" file.
- Yes, I joined my server through the command line with either "password ...; connect localhost:port" or
individual lines with "password ..." and "connect localhost:port".
My own findings:
In the server log/command line of my server I can see myself joining and it even says that I entered the correct password:
"User with id ... successfully authenticated."
"Letting player with userid ... into the server because the challenge verification completed
successfully."
However, ingame I get a prompt saying "incorrect password".If my server says the above, it must mean that the set and entered passwords are identical and thus correct right? Does this mean that the issue that is causing this is not on my side/my servers side?
I am troubleshooting my ass off but I can't find a solution or even someone else that is experiencing the same problem.
Am I missing something or are passwords just bugged/not working in general?
(I saw one guy commenting something like "passwords don't work" but that's the only time I saw someone say something like that and 1 guy saying that is not really enough proof for me to believe that "passwords just don't work").Would love some help on this.
Thanks in advance! -
notMeks on BO2 passwords always worked fine from the first time I saw it. I'd recommend trying something simple like "hello". Also make sure to completely close all cmds of the server. Then you type "password hello" in the console and after that you run another command, the connect command. If it produces the same result try setting g_password in the console and try again

Resxt Hi thanks for your quick response!
Turns out I indeed had to do some shifting around with the password and commands.
Thanks for the help! -
Just to clarify this in case someone finds this thread through the search, those lines just mean that the server has verified with the plutonium backend that the connecting client is actually in online mode and has nothing to do with a password.
