"Once again you are wrong"...? Easy there skippy, no need to try to be condescending, but I don't remember being wrong the first time, and I know I am not wrong this time. ;-)
Valve has hard-coded HL2MP to 16 players maximum, try it and see. I have heard rumor that they did not limit the Linux Servers, but I cannot confirm that, since I run Win2003 Server. If have HL2MP running on Win32, and are able to allow more than 16 players you either: a) Have an out of date server, or, b) You have not tried this lately. I suggest you update your server files and give it another shot, and if you can make it work with more than 16, please post back here (I'm sure Cliffe and Alfred will be as surprised as I will!) Please "crush my illusion"!! ;-) Take care, -- Cain > From: "Ray Spaulding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [hlds] HL2MP - Player Limit ?? 16 Players.. > Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 22:07:35 -0500 > > Once again, you are wrong. >You CAN increase the playerlimit of HL2MP.
