I noticed a weird thing on one of my servers today.

I use gamemodes_server to set the maxplayers to 20. It worked great for more than one year.

But today, when I start the server, nothing is wrong and status command report 0/20 players.
But players can connect upon reaching a maximum value of 30 players (never seen go further at least) Spoke to soon, I'm now at 34 players instead of 20 max.
Code:
players : 28 humans, 0 bots (28/0 max) (not hibernating)
I do not use reserveslots or hreserve plugins... what could be going wrong?

When I hit status, it seems that if more than 20 players are connected, maximum reported player count is exactly the number of connected players.

Even better now:
Code:
players : 29 humans, 0 bots (27/0 max) (not hibernating)
I'm baffled :/

change max players in gamesmodes.txt for the game mode.

or add -maxplayers_override 20 or 30 what you want.

Don't edit gamemodes.txt directly as the next CS:GO update will overwrite it.

Besides, he already mentioned changing maxplayers in gamemodes_server.txt, although that doesn't mean it was changed for the correct game mode...

I hav the same problem
I hav a 26 slot server and when it is 26/26
Then server increases the slot to 27 and crashes by its own.
I think its a csgo bug as i hv seen valve server also getting player more than maxplayers limit.(yesterday was playing on valve deathmatch and there were 19 players although valve hav 16 player max limit)

It is actually.

Most of the time player count is correctly limited, but once in a while, server just seems to ignore it.

It also automatically increase sv_visiblemaxplayers to match current players count.

What i did for myself was;

Maxplayers "64" for all gamemodes and use -maxplayers_override in my start line.

in my case -maxplayer_override 48 server never crash of if it full never see 49/49 or 50/48...

When an update overwrite my gamemodes.txt than i upload the backup. thats my solution for myself.
