Maximum players in a room

Postby Mario Fischel » October 13th, 2011, 10:50 am

Hi admin,
Currently I see that all rooms accept only 45 max players per room! Can I increase the number or can I set the max players per room to infinite or a very big number to accept almost all maximum players per game to join concurrently? I realize that you answered this related topic in an old topic months ago that you are developing to extending this number to no limit. So how is it going on? Or when will you be able to publish this feature?
Thanks,
Mario Fischel

Hello Mario,

The limit is set to 45 for rooms running on our public shared servers. The reason is that it is a good compromise number to make sure that resources can be fairly distributed and that room instances can be distributed across multiple physical servers as load increases.

We do offer dedicated servers. On these, you can set the limit to whatever you want and completely disable the code scan (yay, no whitelist!) and remove the runtime limits. However, it's your own responsibility to make sure that everything works correctly if you do.

PM me if you want to discuss dedicated server(s).

Best,
Oliver
