Granted I due to the OGL crash I cant play a full map but I’ve tried on a few occasions hosting a private game to play with friends and other people are joining. If I set a password its hit or miss if my friend can join the server because od password quircks dunno why.
Wouldn’t it make more sense with the full steam integration to make private matches default as invite only, not publicly visible. If a password is set make is publicly visible.
At a minimum warn the player than making a private game without a password is the same a a public game :-/. Also why bother hiding the password while typing it, its again pointless.
