Unable to connect to private server

[Tumbelina]

Hello, I'm having an issue connecting to a private server. I go to Online game Option, then connect directly, then i input the information. A loading screen comes it like it's trying to connect, then a couple more loading screens with the loading animation at the bottom right. Then it just takes me back to the main game screen. I have the information correct as others are currently playing. I've tried multiple times and it does the same thing. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

There's a password bug, you should see something like ~error invalid password in console

My server that i just started gives me a connection timed out error. Also the game isn't creating the Engine.ini even though it is started and visible.

Windows server?

I had this same problem at first. It was the ports not being forwarded correctly. Fixed that and its works beautifully now. Ports for the server that is.

exit /B

this worked for me but make sure u open the ports on your router
use spaces after each command and each command starts with -
