And how? Serverconfig only dont Work?
You can easily hack the binary to support more slots,its one checkline in the .exe file.

you can also run the server with WSE. it will do it for you.

77y used to run their siege event with 250 slots way back when. Laggy as shit and everyone hated it but there wasn't much choice out there.

NRP always ran rather smoothly at 250 players in Battle mode, back when the server could pull those numbers.

Yeah its possible if you have a very beefy server (single thread performance) and battle mode helps because by the time people get into melee engagement half of the people are dead already and the server only has to process 100 players. :)


In BCOF however things are build much better and more clever to provide a smooth experience

yep, and you don't have to worry about all the things when it comes to respawning players, or checks for capture points as an example.  there is also less items lying around.


one of the CB servers i played on a while back made it so every bot switched to their fists before they died, which cut down on the hundreds of items being spawned.   was a nice way to save performance, with only the downside of you cant pick any weapons up.
Should you need to talk to me regarding NA1 or or something regarding admining or the admins, PM me here on the forums and not on steam.  *
