So when I join a lobby and were all ready upped and were joining instead of connecting me it says I need a password and well I dont know where to find that password and due to that it reports me and boots me from the server. If anyone can tell me where to find this password or if this is just a problem please let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

This is a common issue with using the in game browser. If you are, start using your standard desktop browser. If you aren't, let us know.

 

Will mark this "declined" for now as I believe it's not an issue on our side but I'll leave it open for you to respond just in case.

Don't hurry with tags, Kenneth. Seems this is the major problem of last days for many users. This issue need to be discussed more.

Is the password not displayed in the top right corner of the box where the class slots are? The server connection information should appear under the reconnect button on the lobby page when the lobby starts.

 

Edit: Actually after re-reading what you have said I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Could you please post a picture of it if it happens again?

Having this problem aswell, when I enter the server after the lobby is full and everyone has readied up I get a message saying password required. I asked people in the lobby for help and they replied with "...the page". I had no idea where it had the password shown on the page so couldn't join the lobby because I got no help at all. Have tried to join 3 highlander games today and have had the exact same problem with each one. Was looking forward to my first time on competitive today :/

I guess, people are talking about in-game "bad password" message.

Actually I think this thread is something else. I don't know who renamed the thread but it wasn't called this before. I think re-reading the original post it sounds like when they connect to the lobby server, the server itself is asking for the password again which it shouldn't be doing if he's auto-connecting. So in other words he's talking about the small grey password prompt box you get out of the game when you try to connect to a passworded server.

Exactly, REM. I'm also talking about this "small in-game grey box". It is me, who renamed and pinned the topic. So now this is a topic about well known "bad password" bug.

*What* is prompting for password? TF2? TF2Center? I have no idea what "well known" bug this refers to?

OMG TF2 of course. This is in-game bug! Standard in-game message. People are trying to join server and their connection is refused with with message.

No but it's not a bad password it's the fact that TF2 lobby is not submitting the password at all whereas bad password is where it submits the wrong password and throws an error at you.

As of 30/03/2014, we have added a system which updates the server password whenever a sub joins which should hopefully avoid bad password errors for subs. If people are still having problems with this issue then please reply to this thread.

 

Changed to "Completed". This thread will be archived in 5 days unless furthur discussion has been made.
