How to Change the Maximum Player Count on Your OpenRCT2 Server<\/h2>\n

Managing the capacity of your theme park is essential for maintaining server performance and ensuring a smooth experience for all architects. By adjusting the Max Players<\/strong> setting, you can control how many users are allowed to connect to your OpenRCT2 server at once. Whether you are hosting a small private build session or a massive public park project, the GGServers panel makes it easy to update this limit. Follow the steps below to change your player capacity.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and select your OpenRCT2 server. This dashboard is your central hub for managing player slots and server connectivity.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure the new player limit is correctly initialized in the server’s configuration, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop<\/strong> button on the main console. Wait for the status to show as “Offline” before proceeding to the settings menu.<\/p>\n
