How to Change Max Players on Your Day of Defeat Server

Set the player limit on your Day of Defeat dedicated server.

The default Day of Defeat player limit is 16. The game supports up to 32 players, though most public servers run 16–24.

Open Startup

In the XGamingServer Panel, click Startup in the sidebar.

Set Max Players

Find the Max Players field and enter your desired count (1–32).

Restart

Restart from Console to apply.

Add to the startup command line:

+maxplayers 16

Restart the server to apply.

Note: The actual player count is also limited by map spawn points. Custom maps with limited Allied/Axis spawns will cap below the configured maxplayers.
