I haven't port forwarded yet on this new internet provider, i used to have quest and i port forwarded on that, but i haven't yet on this new one but some people were able to join.
I don't know how to run a ded.
I guess i was exaggerating with the "very large amount of people" quote, but just about everyone that joins will suddenly stop talking, stay frozen for 1 or 2 min (i spied on them) and then they will just leave. I tried to talk to these people that were frozen but no one answered.
