Sons of the Forest server with more than 8 players?

[safe vale]

Hello! I rented a bisect server with extra ram to handle the increased player count and i followed a guide to install RedLoader from another bisect page. The problem is that the startup options (dedicatedserver.MaxPlayers) in the server dashboard hard limits the max player count to 8, even though I edited the server .cfg to 20. Is there a way for me to bypass this startup options or a way to set player count in the dedicated server commands after the server is running? Thanks!

As far as I know the max players by the game itself is 8, in the AM I’ll give this a check and get the limit adjusted

Only a few of us who can tinker with that so 😅 I’ll ping ya here once I do it

@tulip nymph Thank you! From reading online, the RedLoader mod is able to bypass the game's 8 player limit, but the documentation around it is really limited. There's a post from ~6 months ago showing a 50 slot server in the browser using the mod, but I'm having a hard time trying to replicate it

yep actually I was able to setup a quick dedicated server instance on my home computer and get 20 slots

but i really don't want to leave my PC on all day so I think if i can tweak the BH starter options it'll be all good!

Oh forsure, I just gotta verify it before I let any server increase it haha

I’ll get it sorted first thing am (EST) and letcha know

Grab the log as a file / dump it in a text file and drop that in the channel instead.
