Description

Patcher (v. 2.0.0.198, OS X) fails to authenticate correct login information following the 0.24 update with the message "Unable to authenticate with the server: Received malformed data from the server: bad channelkey." On the other hand, inputting an incorrect password correctly fails to authenticate with the message "The email and password you have entered don't match our records. Please try again."

Patcher.log reports the following:

This issue prevents starting KSP via the Launcher and updating via Patcher. Workarounds are to launch KSP directly and manually update by downloading from the KSP store; however, this makes updating for hotfixes difficult, especially with limited bandwidth.

Appears to be a separate issue from Bug #2319. Discussed by forum users here.

It seems to be a problem on updated versions of Python and pyQT, it's being adressed.

Closing this report out for now. If you find it is still occuring in the latest version of KSP please open a new report (and this one can be linked to it.) For best results, the wiki contains really useful info for when creating a report http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/projects/ksp/wiki.

You can also ask questions about the bug cleanup in the forum here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/143980-time-to-clean-up-the-bug-tracker/ and tag @TriggerAu to get my attention
