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!
