Is the exact error "Invalid username?"
Are you sure you typed the correct password for that username to join the server?

More than sure! Also, the strange things begins when i want to use commands on my name. As example, removing myself from whitelist says that im not even whitelisted, but adding myself on whitelist says that i am whitelisted. The totally sick thing is, when i ban myself using CMD of the server, i can join. And im listed as admin. And i have strange feeling that im picking up items instantly from the ground.

Also yup, about the error "Invalid username" it's in my language so i translated it back to english, BUT... There's nothing about invalid password. The whole thing it says is just "Wrong Username / Invalid Username"

I am trying to figure out what the wrong username might be, the most common issue is that it says "wrong username / password", which means that you would be using an incorrect password for that username. Though if its JUST wrong username, it might be that you are trying to use special characters in your username, anything from any accented characters like á to Cyrillic can cause problems (there is a server option for that as well, so if you have Cyrillic turned off in the server options it might not let you connect properly because of that)

The issue won't be in the username. As i said i was playing for two or three hours until we made a restart. Then my friend joined without a single problem and i couldn't. Then i tried different commands and banning myself worked. it allowed me to join as the same character as i was playing before. With all items and all stayed same. The only one different thing is that my character is listed as Admin, i can't change that and i keep picking up items and using items instantly which annoys me, since it's no challange at all..

It's dedicated server, i wasn't using any commands for whitelist or something like that (Until it got bugged and i was trying to join there by adding myself to WL.., Strange that banning myself allows me to join..) This looks like more that the character got bugged somehow. Because everything works totally fine until i use that account.

I changed nothing in game. I only worked in the CMD server.

The banned flag is not an issue, more like a temporary fix for that. Since banning myself actually allows me to play. And unbanning myself does throw me back to the Invalid Nickname error. Thankfully since it's mine server i just made a new character and added same items and perks back as it was before. And it works with this one.

I know it doesn't. It surprised me aswell. I'm a person that has experience with many servers on other games (Minecraft, Terraria, Arma 3 (Was a pain in the ass but i made it work with many mods..),) But i've never.. NEVER experienced anything like this before. But i swear, i even can record it and upload it. Whenever i unban the character i can't join because of "Invalid name" error.. And when i ban myself i can play.. :D Hilarious thing.
