How to Change Max Player Limits in BeamMP

​

Managing Server Capacity

Because BeamNG.drive uses full soft-body physics for every component of every car, each additional player adds a massive load to the server’s CPU. Balancing your player limit is key to a smooth experience.

​

Modifying the Limit

• MaxPlayers = 10
• You can increase this to your desired number, but be aware of the hardware limitations.

​

Performance Recommendations

• Low Capacity (1-8 Players): Runs smoothly on standard FREAKHOSTING VPS plans.
• Medium Capacity (8-16 Players): Requires high-frequency CPU cores. We recommend our Extreme VPS line.
• High Capacity (20+ Players): Highly experimental. Due to how BeamMP synchronizes physics, even the most powerful server will begin to experience rubberbanding as more complex crashes occur simultaneously.
