How To Change Max Players On Your HighBeam Server

Max Players is how many people can be on your HighBeam server at once. New servers take 8 players, and you can raise it to 255.

Changing Max Players

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Basic, edit Max Players.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Before You Raise It

  • Players' PCs draw every car. About 25 cars or more on a server, players' cars and traffic together, needs a graphics card with more than 6 GB of video memory on each player's PC. With less, the game can stutter or crash.
  • Cars per player add up. Each player can spawn as many cars as Cars Per Player allows.

Tip

To keep slots free for your admins and moderators on a busy server, open configs/server.cfg in Files and set staff_slots, for example staff_slots=2, then restart your server. Other players see the server as full once only those slots are left.
