I purchased this server around 1pm today and wasnt even able to actually have access to my own server until around 7pm. Already off to a bad start. Now (11pm the same day) i am FINALLY able to see the server when i try to direct connect via the in-game menu (cant find it on any launchers and i dont know how to do that manually) but every time my friends and i attempt to join the server, we all get stuck on the black screen that reads "wait for host." I do not know what i need to do in order to fix this or if i even can fix this myself. Any help is appreciated.
