I have been having a lot of issues trying to host multiplayer games. First, if I put a password on our games, my friends are unable to connect to my game, even though I am certain that they are inputting the password correctly. Second, why is there no option to host a private game? I don't want to have to kick/block random players from our game, but putting a password is making it impossible to play as I stated above. Finally, when I try to host the savegame of our previous session, I return to my previous empire but my friends can't join in as their previous empires because they won't appear on the list of available empires.
How can I resolve these issues? This is very much detracting from our ability to have fun with the game.
edit: Okay the inability to join was from a known bug that's fixed in 1.5.1, we opted into the beta and it works now.
