Hi everyone, I have T6 server and some players can join with no problems and some stuck in waiting for players, I asked him to join another server and he could join without problems, just my server he couldn't
My Launcher is up to date and his launcher is also up to date.
what could be the problem?.

3 UAE users for now , cant join and stuck with waiting for players

S2RT It sounds like an internet connection problem. Where do you have your server hosted? On a dedicated server or on your local computer.

VPS good connection

Hello Plutonium Community,
I'm experiencing an unusual connection issue with my Black Ops 2 server. While most users are able to connect without problems, players from the UAE consistently face connection difficulties they stuck in (waiting for other players) . I wanted to rule out any issues on my end, so I provided these affected users with the IW4MAdmin website link (it shares the same IP as my server but uses different ports). They were unable to access this website without a VPN, further suggesting a possible regional restriction.
I've reached out to my VPS provider, Lightnode, regarding potential geo-restrictions, but they've confirmed that they don't enforce any country-based limitations. For context, my server is located in Bahrain.
If anyone has faced similar issues or has any insights on how to resolve this, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

S2RT please don't delete and re-create topics. It won't get you any better answers. Have you confirmed that the players can't join after trying a second time. Does the UAE censor it's citizens internet access?
-
I’m sorry about re-creating the topic.
It’s happening with all users from UAE , and yes I asked to rejoin and nothing changed, note that there is other Bahrain servers and they can access them except my server, something weird happening.
-
Do they share some similarities? Like the same ISP, issues only on certain maps or bad PCs that take forever to load the game?
-
Only thing they have in common is that they are UAE
users, some of them are my friends and some idk who they are, they have good PCs ، yes they are using same ISP In UAE -
Does anyone of your friends have a phone with a different provider which they could use to see if their ISP is indeed the problem?
-
almost 99% of UAE users use the same ISP so its imposible to find someone xd
-
Hmm, not sure what could be done about it for all users.
For your friends you could try a VPN like zerotier, maybe its enough to see if the ISP is blocking it or not. -
Yes VPN does work and can access IW4MAdmin page, anyways I contacted with ISP about unblocking the IP and they said we are working on it, so I'll wait and see if something happens.
-
Issue Resolved: After hearing back from their ISP that the issue wasn't on their end, I decided to change my VPS IP as a last resort (glad my VPS providers has this option), Note: the changed IP is in the same range as the old one. Fortunately, this resolved the problem, although I'm still unclear on the root cause.
