Hey, i just asked about it under a news feature, but thought to make a thread here too for the discussion’s sake… wink.png
So, can you give us any hint on the maximum number of players on a game/server? Or if there will be a server-side feature for the number of slots, or having private slots etc?
The new maps you posted and generally a couple of maps that i remember from the beta scream for many people online at the same time. shock.png

latest guess

It’d depend on how the game is being hosted. We’re working on a dedicated server client for the game launch. This would reduce lag massively and allow many more players (hoping for 16+).
However, if hosted on peoples home connections (like the beta,) you should expect to be around 10. But this would depend on their speed.
We have improved networking a great deal, so you’ll see much better performance than the beta smile.png
Once we get a version of the dedicated server running we’ll let you all know !

Server client?

I thought a server (especially dedicated) is the exact opposite of a client. Wasn’t it?
