Hi, I'm trying to set up a server on a home pc (that is always on)
I can connect perfectly fine via direct IP (on LAN), but the game does not appear in the LAN list.
I've also enabled it to appear publicly, but there it also doesn't show up.
Does this just take a while, or do I need to take additional steps to make this work?

Note: I have not port-forwarded anything
