Player Capacity Optimization

By default, 7D2D is soft-capped at 8 players. This guide explains how to bypass this limit and host up to 64 players sustainably.

Editing the Config

Change ServerMaxPlayerCount in your serverconfig.xml. Note that pushing beyond 16 players requires industrial-grade hardware.

The 64-Player Threshold

• CPU: Requires high-frequency cores (5.0GHz+).
• Bandwidth: You must have a minimum of 1Gbps uplink to prevent 'rubber-banding' for remote players.
