How to Change the Max Player Count on Your Squad Server<\/h2>\n

Adjusting the maximum player capacity of your Squad server allows you to scale your community sessions, whether you are hosting a small tactical drill or a full-scale 100-player conflict. Balancing your player count is also important for server performance. Using the GGServers panel, you can update this limit in just a few clicks. Follow the steps below to modify your server’s player slots.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the GGServers Panel and Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

Log in to the GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Before adjusting slot limits, you must Stop<\/strong> your server. This ensures the change is correctly applied to the server’s configuration files before the game engine initializes.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Update Max Players<\/h3>\n

Step 5: Start Your Server<\/h3>\n
