What happens to servers that dynamically change their sv_visiblemaxplayers?
There are a bunch of servers that only advertise being a 24 slot server and
then slowly grow to 32 to exploit quickplay as long as possible.

I don't think anyone dynamically does this and even if they do, that

server owners run a 24 slot server, and start the server with 6-8 extra
slots (maxplayers 30-32), using sv_visiblemaxplayers 24. This way

They just start 32 player servers and have sv_visiblemaxplayers at 24. Then
it's full and it's set to 26, then 28, 30, and finally to 32. That way they
have the lowest quickplay penalty (or none until 24) as long as
Then the simple solution would be to check playercount by system each
time sv_maxvisibleplayers is being changed.

I think you're misunderstanding. The question is not *how* it can be checked,
rather the question is whether or not this is disallowed and punished.

Hello Fletch,
I have a couple of questions for you. Would the following idea be

On a server with a maximum capability of 32 players, limit the players with
sv_visiblemaxplayers to 24 and have quickplay enabled.
For years linux has had issues with phys_constraints and entities touching
them, whether it be players or other props, etc. Below are some links that have
been public for quite some time.
This is mainly an issue in Garry's Mod, where the welds are frequent on build
