Managing Server Capacity

Adjusting your player slots is a critical aspect of managing community density and ensuring server resources are utilized effectively. While the FREAKHOSTING Game Panel allows you to modify this value at any time, increasing your capacity beyond 48 slots involves specific technical requirements, including an active OneSync configuration and external licensing. This guide ensures your server is correctly configured to support your intended player base.

Technical Slot Configuration

You can modify your server’s capacity using two primary methods. We recommend ensuring both values are synchronized to prevent metadata conflicts.
1

Access Startup Settings

Log in to the FREAKHOSTING Game Panel and navigate to the Startup tab.
2

Update Max Players

Locate the field labeled Max Players. Enter your desired slot count (e.g., 32, 48, or 128).
3

Apply Changes

Navigate back to the Console and Restart your server to broadcast the updated capacity to the masterlist.

​
Option 2: Manual Configuration Override

If you prefer direct file management, you can define the limit within your server.cfg: 
# Define the maximum number of simultaneous clients
sv_maxclients 48

​
Technical Prerequisites for High Capacity

Operating a high-population server requires adherence to the official CitizenFX licensing model.
Any registered License Key can host up to 48 players without additional subscription requirements.

​
Resource Scaling & Stability

As you increase player slots, the demand on the server’s CPU and network bandwidth grows exponentially. For communities targeting 64+ players, we highly recommend using our FREAKHOSTING Extreme hosting plans to maintain consistent tickrates and prevent “desync” during peak hours.
