CoD 4 Server - setting more than 32 players

Call of Duty 4 servers, and indeed any of the Call of Duty series, and most Quake server engine based games (Enemy Territory, Jedi Knights etc) by default only allow you to run a maximum of 32 player slots.

To increase this simply add the following command to your server startup line:

+set ui_maxclients 64

Please note that you will only be able to set this line if you have a self-managed dedicated server.

If you are running a game server with us, that has more than 32 slots, we should have already set this for you. If in doubt, please contact our support desk.

Remember, it is worth considering on Call of Duty 4 servers for example- most maps aren't made to handle more than 32 players.
