Bug Report: Issue with authenticate and connect

Postby lutc » January 20th, 2015, 5:00 am

When using PlayerIO.connect, I get the error message "Error: You can only call Connect() on game connections that are using the Basic authentication provider" even though the game connection is using the Basic authentication provider.

When I used PlayerIO.authenticate with Basic and no authentication, or with authentication and the correct auth value, I get the error message "Error: An unexpected error occurred inside the Player.IO webservice. Please try again. - Reference code: 47865c7e"

Note that this only happens with the new "Basic" and not with "Basic (using depreciated SHA1-hashing) in older games"

To reproduce:
1) Create new game
2) Go to "Settings" and click "Save Changes" (the error does not appear before "Save Changes" is clicked)
3) Try to do connect/authenticate

Connect() is being deprecated in favour of Authenticate, so please use that method instead. We recently released a fix for an issue with Authenticate, I think your use-case should be covered by that. Are you still seeing the error?
