  Try verifying integrity of Northgard files?
  
  1- Restart your computer and launch Steam.
  2- From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
  3- Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files... button.
  4- Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

  I deleted game, when that problem was occurred, then i deleted all firewall rules for it, and then i reinstalled it and problem still here. Also i checked new firewall rules, and it's seems that with them all OK.

  Today i reinstalled the game one more time, this time i completely removed all game files by special program, including registry files and all files this program could find connected with this game on my PC. But it did not help. I am start thinking that maybe i blocked by region or something. I am playing from Belarus, Maybe it's somehow reason of the problem, or part of a reason. Because as i said all was ok like half year ago. Also i tested that i can host games with AI in MP. Dunno if it use server to start the game with AI, but all works, but if i try play with other players i can't connect to the game.

  Hey hey! I have the same problem here. Every time I try to play in Multiplayer mode, I cannot connect to the actual game (Waiting for server screen). This happens when I host the game too. The other players can join the game. I tried verifying the files again, checking the firewall etc. I am from Hungary. I tried all the servers (Europe, North America etc.).

  as of the 27th of July 2022, the issue still exists.
  further steps taken in addition to the suggestions on this thread ;
  -adding the game into the firewall exceptions list
  -port forwarding whichever ports i could find on google (TCP: 27015-27030, 27036-27037
  UDP: 4380, 27000-27031, 27036)
  -disabling windows defender (i don't use any other antivirus)
  -making sure i have inbound and outbound rules added for the application
  -running the game as an administrator
  -calling my ISP (which have said they got nothing to do with it since i have this issue with northgard only and only northgard)
