PlayerIO.connect error

Postby aseemgarg321 » February 22nd, 2017, 3:34 pm

I am getting this strange error in PlayerIO.connect..

where my Autentication type is basic, and still Authentication is failing saying -
"You can only call Connect() on game connections that are using the Basic authentication provider "..

Attaching screenhots..

PlayerIO.authenticate is missing from AS3 SDK..
Kindly Check..

It's working fine for me? Have you included PlayerIOClient.swc correctly? Here's my sample code:

Code: Select all
private var client:Client;

PlayerIO.authenticate(this.stage, "my_game_id_here", "public", { userId:"testuser" }, null, function(c:Client):void{
   client = c;
   log("Authenticated: " + client.connectUserId);
}, function(error:PlayerIOError):void{
   log("Authenticate error: " + error.message);
});

Hi,

My bad, I had a Zip file of same name PlayerIO.. that must have been an old file.. Guess this was getting picked up..


Also I tried Authenticate - it worked.. Not sure why connect didn't work..

but in QuickConnect - it didn't any entry made for this user.. any idea why??

Thanks,
Aseem

If you use Basic authentication, QuickConnect isn't involved. You're supposed to be using Basic authentication if you have your own user database elsewhere, and can calculate auth hashes securely. (Otherwise anyone can log in as anyone else)

Yes. The only restriction is that some PayVault providers only work for users that have authenticated using the same system, so you can only make Facebook payments for Facebook authenticated users, and Steam payments only work for Steam authenticated users, etc.

Don't use Connect, use Authenticate instead.
