Can you release a server-side patch to increase the 48 slot limit up to 64?. Seriously. I really want to try a 64 slot server. Even if it does turn out to be laggy, it would still be interesting.
What about the few hosters that want to give it a whack anyway?. Nobody's saying it will be easy, but for the few people that like to tinker around and try anyway it would be nice.
No. There is an absolute limit at 48 players without a code change. Server owners can't re-programme the game. It just doesn't work like that.
I tried to up the limit during 2.2 testing to 64, but, for some reason, it wouldn't let people do it. I'm not sure why, however, we are looking into it again.
Huh, weird. They were setting +maxplayers 64 correct?. It has to be in the command line =/. Weird. Hope you find the issue!.
We can set it to 64. (it's technically possible) We'll test it on selected server once we have next version released.
I've tried setting it to 64 - you can't. Kylegar just said that as well... unless it involves more then a simple command line change?. Orangebox does support a max of 64 - at least thats my understanding - or is it 256?.
It's supposed to be blacked out in the Empires code. It didn't work in testing so it was disabled (If Mootant's answer didn't already clear that up for you)
Most server have trouble with 48, the high resource usage of the game will not be helped with 64 slots. Also, when was the last time u saw a 256 slot server? Mootant is a dev too, so he knows what hes talking about.
MOOtant got it working, so, it's either my stupidity, or whoever tried it. We will be testing it after 2.21 with select people. More news on this later.
256 players... I hope you will have a map for Trench Warfare else it will go wrong... Imagine, 256 people on Glycen, Escort or Crossroads... **
yea lol imagne is someone yelled SPEC STACK :p OR EVEN BETTER IMAGNE THE LAG OF TANK WARS IT WOULD BE A TRUE WAR!!!
