Killing floor 2 hosting dedicated server broken with hamachi(or at all?)

[riktigi debils]

On the sale me and my friends bought killing floor 2. After playing for a bit we discovered that it is much more fun to host on our own servers than playing with randos. My friend hosted his dedicated server trough Hamachi (fake lan) because even with port fowarding he couldnt host proper public servers. He could host his lan server fine without any port fowarding. When i tried to host a server and the party i could join my own server, but my friends couldnt and on the dedicated server(bat file) it would show a timeout that counted to 33 and then kicked them from my party(and the server). After that we discovered that if a specfic person hosts the party (not server) all of us could join my server.
For some reason i can't see any lan servers aswell as some of my friends(Some can, some can't). And the ones that can see everyone elses lan servers are the ones that can host the parties.

I really want to know if this is a problem with with hamachi or is happening no matter if you host a lan server or a public one.

More like the network problem than the game. Do you have the same issue with other games when you or your firends host.

Never had problems with something like this in other games

I've hosted with hamachi with same friends in others games without problems. But in this game we can't play for some reason

1- NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER use hamachi
2- "He could host his lan server fine without any port fowarding" LAN, not public, it means u have to be connected in the same network to play together
3- https://portforward.com/ download their software to check if the port is open
4- try launching the server first, then the game
If u still cant host a kf2 server, then adopt a cat and ask him to do it for you... cats are cute...

1- its a stupid program made for lazy people
2- the server is never public
3- everyone who wants to join has to download hamachi
Lets say u have a grilfriend who is not into videogames, and u invite her to play some team fortress 2, its a free game, easy to download cuz its on steam, then u tell her to download a weird program called hamaci and that she has to set it up, theres a very high chance she wont even let u start explaining what to do, some people dont like to be installing a crap load of programs and setting them up, not even with some1 helping them, plus without using hamachi u can start ur server and wait for random people to join and make more friends!

I agree, but I thought there must've been a more serious reason :P

Well, my router has no tutorial on the portfowarding homepage and trying by myself to portfoward ended with a failure. For some reason cant port foward ports with udp protocol.

[riktigi debils]

Mikrotik router

[¬G.P¬ мเиเ קµяקℓэ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

what u can try to do is go to the firewall setings, and look for Port Trigger and Virtual Server, create a new virtual server, put ur pc's internal ip address, the port u wanna open, and the protocol type, then add a port trigger with the port number and protocol type.
EDIT:
nvm i fund this on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sGL58AhQCQ and i have to be honest with u, its not obvious what u have to do to port forward on this router

In the following days i will try again and port foward, but i've already seen this tutorial just in a text form. Thanks for the info anyways
