[CSGO] +maxplayers don't work?

[DawidF]

Hello. I have my CS:GO server with "20" slots.

I set 20 slots in gamemodes.txt, gamemodes_server.txt and gamemode_competetive.txt

When my server is turned on i see in console "maxplayers set to 64".

My server looks like this: 21/20 ; 25/20.

20 players can play, 5 more are in spectator and can't join to team.

Any help?

I have -maxplayers_override 20 in start line.

(Sorry for my English)

Have* you changed reserved slot settings in sourcemod.cfg?

[DawidF]

Yes, sm_reserve_type 1 (kick high ping)

[Neuro Toxin]

Can you post your settings out of sourcemod.cfg?

[8guawong]

show us your gamemodes_server.txt

This is a pretty well-known bug. There might be a plugin to fix it, but I don't care enough to know.

[Powerlord]

CS:GO's devs had the bright idea that maxplayers should always be set to 64 and the maxplayers setting in the gamemodes config (or +maxplayers_override command-line setting) just updates the number of visible players.

So, what I can do to fix this?

reserved slots should work. I had same issue but if you add reserved slot and hide it than you should not get that problem. My providers did always shut down my gameserver because more people could join the server than available slots. I could fix it with reserved slot.

If you want that only 20 players connect to your server change next values to 1

sm_reserved_slots 0
