    [Solved] How to Increase Max MP in Dedicated Server? 30 Max?

    How to Increase Max MP in Dedicated Server? 30 Max? I need 44 or more. tried changing .plr for dedicated and changing multiplayer.ini but it reverts back to 31.

    add "+maxplayers 50" on server shortcut and slider can move to 104 players..

    What if you set the files to "read.only" in properties?

    Maybe it's not yet supported in beta to have over 30 clients, seen some reports that over 20 clients have trouble running also with a lot of lost packets and disconnections?

    I have a monster server to test it on... will have it for like a week.

    Quad Core Opteron 2374 8 Processors
    30gigs of Ram
    1 Tb of space.
    100mb connection

    please tell me how to add more cars so I can max it out.

    Send the server to me, I'll max it out :)

    As mentioned above, it's beta and currently maxed at 30, after release I expect to see this change, someone from ISI can confirm this I am sure.

    First you need to do an internet speed test to determine your maximum upload and download data rate. Try www.speedtest.net. The maximum clients allowed on your server is set primarily by the data rate you set your server at. The higher you set it, the more clients it allows and you can use the slider in Dedicated to allow more. BE SURE NOT TO EXCEED 75% OF YOUR UPLOAD DATA RATE ON THE SLIDER !!! Exceeding this will cause server lag with many clients connected. Always leave a buffer in place. For example, if your upload data rate is 1mb/s, do not set your upload data rate any higher than 750kb/s. If you need any more info, let me know.

    As I am at work and not at home to check this. Is the limitation set by the fact it is BETA or is it located in the RFM??

    If it is in the RFM you will need a NEW mod to increase the number of cars :)

    What do yo know, I had the rF2 install on a memory stick. So checked out th RFM file for the rTrainer and in there is set MAXIMUM OPPONENTS.

    Now if this is where it is getting that limitation than you need to create a new MODID using this change :)

    I read somewhere along my reading files something like this....

    "You may require to enter the command line "+maxplayers <#>"

    The Command line they are referring to is in the launcher under "Advanced" then "Multiplayer"

    I have tested and no change....but reading that in a file a while ago...I will assume that will make it work eventually?

    Did you try the rfM??

    Just try to create a virtual mod using the Megane and one track. Change the rFm to include more players and see if that works.

    Doesn't Lessen Restrictions="1" in multiplayer.ini do the same thing, it did in rF1?

    Do you mean 'crash your server' or have a 'crash on the track' itself? I think both are inevitable with (potentially) 104 drivers... :eek:
