[QUOTE=poke1103;691434]  
Yeah for some reason mine is only showing on LAN (I have it on a laptop with a different steam account logged in). Whenever I try to connect, it just reloads the main menu I did(open steam.SteamServerID(long ID):port). I passed the Session search results into a button when on click it uses the session result to call JoinSession() and nothing happens.

Dedicated servers don’t use the steam client at all, they also need to be specifically built for via a special build target (requires a soruce copy of the engine and modifications). If you are trying to connect to a dedicated server that is just a normally packaged project then it won’t work, you will have to use a standard client server instead.
