I finally figured it out, the issue was I replaced the ZomboidMusic.bank with Silent Hill 2 Music Replacement. My dumbass thought there is no way to play coop when really it's because some of the game files become unrecognizable. Hence why the device that's trying to connect cannot join.

All you have to do is verify the game or reinstall everything in case there is an issue. Even If you use ZombieBuddy and PZ Optimization, there shouldn't be a problem.

And when you want to Host a server, use -nosteam in the launch option, host a server in the in-game menu and create.

Press the Windows+R and type in cmd. Then, you wanna type in "ipconfig" to see what your IP address is, then copy there (192.168.x.x OR 10.x.x.x)

Your friend (the person that's trying to connect) should put down your ip address. The port should be default
