How to Change Max Players on Your Windrose Server
Increase or decrease the maximum player count on your Windrose dedicated server.
The MaxPlayerCount field in ServerDescription.json controls how many players can be on your server at the same time.
Windrose is in Early Access. The current co-op limit is 4 players, with 8-player lobbies being tested. Set
MaxPlayerCountto match whatever the current build supports — setting it higher than the game allows won't have any effect.
Steps
Stop your server from the Dashboard.
Open File Manager → R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/ServerDescription.json.
Find and edit the MaxPlayerCount field:
"MaxPlayerCount": 4Click Save Content and start your server.
Resource Considerations
More players means more load on the server. As a general guide:
| Players | Recommended RAM |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | 4 GB |
| 3–4 | 6–8 GB |
| 5+ (future) | 8+ GB |
