Going GOLD - The Golden Age for Mass-Multiplayer 7D ?

[Heliox]

Hey there,

 

what are the plans for 8+ multiplayer servers when the game goes on full release?

Will there be a support for 40 - 200 players on a 8x8km map? 😀

 

Thanks for infos

Loving the game since A15.1
Keep it up PIMPS

I can see TFP maybe extending multiplayer to 12 or 16 players with some server optimizations. I don't see it going any higher though as this is not a game designed to support massive player counts. It's designed for small group co-op.

We've done 24 with 18gb of ram and it worked pretty well on a 10K map.

50+ or even more players, which is very exciting

My wife and I look for servers that run  25-50 players usually.  We like populated servers but we have noticed that performance gets worse with each Alpha release.  It's to the point that servers have to restart VERY frequently to clear out whatever memory leaks and junk that piles up on the servers.  I just don't think that 7D2D is going to see any kind of "Golden Age" with multiplayer because it gets further away from it as time goes on.  If they are thinking of improving it, TFP is really shooting themselves in the foot right now because of the backlog of issues they are creating.
