i cant seem to join it succcesfully using my own public IP addr
i have some parts of advanced steam plugin implemented
i have my things set up in game instance for joining and hosting
it seems to just restart the main menus level instead ofl oad me into the players lobby
this is kind of a listen server type where you type the IP and they join but for me to fix the issue of me able to connect to my friends other than them only connect to me i decided to set up a dedicated server
above is the dedicated server
