On first connect it takes a little longer to connect the server. When you create the server it is effectively in a 'starting up' or 'waiting for players to connect' status. When a player connects it will complete the process and create the session completely.

Keep trying is all I could say, otherwise, it may still be a problem with your router.

Not sure, I normally leave it a few minutes and then reconnect when its just me.

We did that today aswell for testing purposes and i guess you did the same errors as we did with either not a complete DB or something similar, but it sounds more like a port forward problem....did you test the ports on port test sites? Did you open both, TCP and UDP?

The first connection and loading screen should not be that long on a fresh server.

This helped us, is very easy to understand and it worked for us like a charm.
