Invalid Password on my own server, but it is 100% correct.

[BoogieMan]

I've seen *a lot* of posts about this issue but none have provided a fix.

I am hosting my own server, just for me, through the game. I can see it on the LAN list, but when I join it, it says invalid password for both the regular and admin password. I know I am entering it 100% correctly and I even see it written in the console exactly the same as the server starts up.

One capital letter, the rest regular characters.

The reason I am even attempting this is to try and get the game to run slightly better. I know it's not optimized and doesn't come close to taxing my full system so I decided to try and host a server on separate cores than the game is assigned to and see if there is any change at all. I am aware of other methods of server hosting but I want to use my single player world.

Any idea why this is an issue? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Try either all caps, or all numeric.

This is the first post I have seen on this problem. I'd say triple and quadruple check your password. Make sure you don't have a space in front that might be messing it up. Change the passwords to something else and try again.

It is 100% correct in every detail. I am absolutely certain. Just do a forum search for invalid password and you'll see what I mean.

Next time I get time to play I'll try chaning it again later and trying all caps or all numbers and see what happens.

It would be like, for example, the word "Blue" not being accepted. No funny characters or anything.

there are only a couple of threads and they are all from back when the game was first released.

I just did the search again and I see two pages worth, and most mention this issue. And that's just the Stream forums.

When i first had my rented server the password did not work, even though i was logged in on the managing website and copied and pasted it over. After restarting the server it worked. You might try simply rebooting the thing.
