Direct IP and passwords

[Spikeone]

When you open a direct IP game with a password and try to join without entering one, you get a message "connection to host lost". Which is simply incorrect as it has been refused as you entered no / wrong password.

Well, I think the problem is that the connection is dropped by the host before sending the message to the client. Perhaps we can hold the connection a bit longer until deletion, or something like that.

You are right. The problem is: The host sends a "invalid pw" message and closes the connection. Although the message is posted (flushed) the connection is closes at the same time. So either

1. The message is still received but the connection lost gets checked before
2. The message is not sent if the connection gets closed before

I'm not sure how to check this especially as it is much less likely to occur using 2 game clients locally. :/

Perhaps we can hold the connection a bit longer until deletion

Possible. But how much longer? And this would complicate the code... Probably wait till we use Boost.ASIO
