Unknown authentication scheme error

Bought the app this morning. Setup the VNC session for my remote machine at home. After I put in my username/password (turned on prompting) I get the following error:

"Disconnected

Unknown authentication scheme from VNC server: 5"

I use RealVNC for my server at home...any ideas? Can connect with a VNC client from my laptop.

This means RealVNC is only accepting an authentication mechanism that is not supported by Remoter at the moment.
Please try UltraVNC or TightVNC instead.

Sorry I couldn't help you more. Short of releasing a new version of Remoter, there is nothing I can do.
