Player capacity

[Hansel]

Well, i just wanted to ask why the player capacity is set to 100? I started playing a week ago and back then it was at 120 player capacity. How come the change? I am just asking this because i am unable to get into the server almost every night

Best regards

I might be wrong, but i think it is because the server desyncs more when there are alot of people online.
So they made it 100 players untill the problems are solved.

An Arma3 update (Marksmen DLC) broke a lot of things, mainly in regards to server stability and performance.

120 players on the server is almost unplayable, lots of desync, especially when more than 4-5 people are grouped together.

Lowering the player numbers seems to have helped a lot with the problems, but currently the ALUK devs are working with Bohemia to attempt to get a patch / fix released for all the recent issues. Maybe then, the slots can go back up to 120 / 140 players...

Seems to be the most stable number right now despite the server crashing 8 times in the last 48 hours.

Things was fine up until Arma 3 1.42 the magic marksman DLC.... don't expect to see 120 players or server 2 online until they fix there server.exe

Now was it 120 players... is 100 players too much, Nope! there has been wild desync and crashes at 30 players... 1.42 really is another cockup... we have experienced a few almost every Arma 3 update... so get used to it if your here for the long term!

I am however actively passing all crash logs to dwarden who i have on skype.... yes unlike other community's we are actually helping the devs at BIS with feedback, seeing we are one of the most popular servers online its hopefully very useful.
