Are you sure they're playing the right game? Joining via address shouldn't be something that's immediately presented to the player when using the menus in Fusion; That sounds more like the Classic games.

Anyways, if your server is public, they should be able to find it in the ingame Server List for the appropriate mode (there's very few servers, so finding it shouldn't be a problem). Alternatively, they can join via right-clicking you in the Steam friends list, and selecting "Join game". Also, if you're playing with mods, both of you need to be playing Moddable mode.

I posted in fusion community just because fusion is more popular than Serious Sam 2. What is the 'Enter Server Address'? The 'Address' i could find using the '~' key on keyboard, i.e, console, is my local ip address. So What is the value here that my friends should enter in this box?

Well that's something you should specify if you want accurate information, then.

The address it's looking for is *probably* your public IP address, which you'd have to look up online (Try looking for "What is my IP?" on Google). That said, I've never used Specify Server in Serious Sam 2, because the game *also* has a server list, which you can find behind "Find match"; Just leave all the filters on "Any". As a note, there are no private servers in this game like in future games.

Even when it works, enemies will often just glitch around in multiplayer, it's barely playable. I hosted a server not too long ago, tried all suggested settings, asked around on their discord, to no avail.

There's a reason why there's only ever a handful of server hosts, they don't work well. Just take it as single-player game.

Hard luck i guess... All my friends including me refunded the game yesterday as our only goal was to play coop. For single player i personally will play ssClassicRevolution(base game(s) as well as workshop maps)😅

Okay, you're welcome I guess. Thanks for wasting my time.

Where the heck did i waste ur time bro?! The sole reason we bought the game (and was there in the store page that we could play coop), after a long search and almost 2hrs of trial and error we refunded the game before the 2hour refund timer ticks in. Do u really think we would waste more time trying to figure out just how to play coop?! 🤷

You posted about SS2 in the SS Fusion forum without clarifying it in the OP and you refunded the game without telling the people who were trying to help you here. That's how you wasted their time.
Also, it's funny that you and your friends had this problem because I remember playing SS2 with my friend with no issues (besides bad netcode). Literally a skill issue, like comment #1 said.
