"key verification failure"

[Ryba2210]

Hello,

me and my brother both installed OpenRCT2 but whenever he tries to join my server he gets the errror "key verification failure".
I've already checked our versions and the port. But even tough the server is marked green in the list he is unable to join

Can anyone help?

The keys are used to avoid users impersonating one another. Most likely, your brother accidentally removed his key and a new one was generated.

On the server, go to the config directory of OpenRCT2 (I'd be more specific, but you didn't tell me what operating system your server is on), then to "keys" and find the file that starts with his username and has a .pubkey extension. Delete that file and your brother should be able to join again.
