I've set up a password protected dedicated KF2 Server on my home desktop, I've set my IP as a static IP and did all the port forwarding ( https://imgur.com/a/USNtm ).
Now the issue is my friends can see my server when they browse and can try to connect but when they enter the password they almost never get a feedback and the game just casually ignores the attempt ( it won't even respond if you entered a wrong password ) , eventually after a 5-20 tries of entering passwords and waiting for a couple of minutes they will connect and we'll play seamlessly but if we go out and try to reconnect we will have to go through the same ordeal but this doesn't happen to other servers.
Even if you enter and invite someone to join, it will either say that the player is not in a game or it will also lead to a nothing.
I wanna confirm that we already played and were able to connect and play fine without any disconnects or lag. I even tried playing on my server from a different PC on a different network and it was great, I just have issues connecting to the server in the first place.
