Scaling Your Convoy
While the default “Convoy” limit in Euro Truck Simulator 2 was originally 8 players, the dedicated server software allows administrators to scale this capacity significantly higher. However, increasing player counts requires careful management of server resources and bandwidth to maintain synchronization.

Modifying the Limit
- Stop your server via the FREAKHOSTING panel.
- Open
server_config.sii.
- Locate the line:
max_players: 8
- Change this to your desired value (e.g.,
max_players: 32).
- Save and Restart.
| Player Count | Network Impact | Recommendation |
|---|
| 8-16 | Very Low | Ideal for small friend groups. |
| 16-32 | Moderate | Sweet spot for active VTCs. |
| 64+ | High | Requires high-frequency CPU (FREAKHOSTING Extreme). |
