Only 8 players at the moment but it'll increase with time

Somebody reverse-engineering the game, changing something somewhere that allows them to allegedly have more people in the session that what SCS allows in the official version. I was going to be a matter of time before somebody would had figured out how to do it.

It could require or not that you have the same modified version of the executable to enter those sessions (it depends of how the modification has been done). It's up to everyone to decide to take the risk too. I suppose the host is letting the game at idle in a secondary PC (one sort of "dedicated server" cutre-style; because I doubt the actual engine of the game can handle properly so many players plus playing in the same computer; considering how CPU bottlenecked we already are.

Also, the FPS drop could be considerable if so many trucks begin to play closely ones from the others

It's also a matter of SCS allowing those sessions to appear in the list; they could filter them out for all of us (except those who modify the executable to avoid it).

Does this mean that the scs are planning a convoy for up to 32 players at once?

It means nothing as it's a hacked version of the game, nothing to do with SCS.

@Ceco: ‘Increasing over time’ is the key, so yeah some day we should be able to play as a team of 32.

16 or 24 maybe but I wouldn't put my money on 32 players in convoy unless we have a dedicated server which can run on a spare PC

[Some newbie driver]

I think over 16 will be a problem for any CPU due the current bottleneck. And the possibility to have a dedicated server would address little, because there will remain the load of so many high detailed trucks. Not good for the current engine state.

When they change what we all want to be changed, the limit nowhere to be found.

No, this means somebody has chosen to change its game executable to allow 32. He could had chosen 17, 63 or 492 if he would had wanted. It's a random number that gives no clue about what SCS wants to do.

And beware what I said: ALLEGEDLY allowing 32 players in the server. We are all supposing there are really more than 8 people playing in there. The only we know for sure is this server is reporting those numbers; nobody that has not been there can confirm the numbers are real. I suppose they really had modified the game to allow more people in, but I wouldn't discard either some cases of fake info as a way of bragging.

one thing is computer power on host and also clients if player see more player-grade trucks. but IMO more interesting issue will be net traffic between players. as the basic architecture is p2p the traffic rises with number of players squared. also it would be quite interesting to see if they hacked only the value for test or handled correctly all buffers etc.

also, i saw one 128-player server as well. it is actually cool, but if are on, you are using it on your own.

SCS will rise the value when it will be reliable and ready.
