Joining passworded games means I cannot see text

When I join a passworded game, I cannot see text or any changes to the game. I get what the room was like when I entered (enery/metal levels, who's ready, what side they're on, everything), but if any of this changes, I jist don't receive that information. If I join a non passworded room by the same player, everything is fine. If I host a passworded or non passworded game, this problem does not arise. Anyone else get this?

My friend had the same problem.

If he hosted, and there was a password, we experienced The Bug. If he hosted a non-passworded game, we did not experience it the first time, but we had The Bug subsequent times.

I was able to host successfully. I was experiencing The Bug when hosting in every case before the patch, though.

The Bug is when nobody can see what the host is saying, and nobody can see any game updates or player status updates. However, everyone can see what all the clients say. The host can hear everyone, but nobody can hear the host.

Exactly that.

I have made sure everyone is up to date with .NET, but nothing doing there.
