If there is a server with a 255 player limit it will start to kick people once it reaches 64, unfortunately there seems to be no way around the hardcoded player limit.

You may have stumbled upon a server trying to break the consistency of the universe ;)

Most probably a server testing a 64+ player population (or simply with bots as if I recall correctly it works with them) But as said here at 65 players it goes belly up.

Oh and pleeeeeeeeease make our thread titles a bit more meaningful as "255" could mean anything :roll:

And when the the 65 player joins someone gets kicked or the server crash. So you can never go over 64/255.

re-re-re-re-re-post

you can set the player number to anything? or atleast higher than 64 but it wont take anymore than 64 so pointless.
