i think the game itself is the problem, not the server on how many people you can have or else SCS would already have increased it when dedicated servers are used

I'm hopeful they will increase the limit for dedicated servers over time.

If the limitation is on the server and not the game then it's possible they just don't want to change two things at once; let dedicated servers get tested by the public and then later raise the player limit. If the limitation is with the game, well then they've got even more work to do for Pavel's MMO mode.

Goiod job by SCS adding dedicated servers. I see it as a good feature for VTC's.

[Optional Features]

No mention of partnerships with paid server providers like verygames or nitrado.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

why would they? they just released the software and are at the beginning of it, it would be totally nonsensical to have any kind of partnership with a beta software

[Marcello Julio]

About the increase in the number of players, I believe it is a problem with the game itself dealing with more players. I remember Pavel saying in an interview for Vortex that they tried more players, but 7 was the one that proved to be stable and that it would take engine updates to have more players on a server without compromising performance.

Interesting, if you now look at the rooms of the convoy in ETS, then everyone has already installed DLC Feldbinder Trailer Pack, even though it hasn't been released yet.

And besides, there is a mistake in the name, because the company is called Feldbinder, not Felbinder.

Hi everyone,

can it be that the DLC-name was corrected to Feldbinder now? Unfortunately, my savegame does not load anymore because it requires the DLC Felbinder. Any idea how I can fix this?

Kind regards,

EDIT: Solution by @bimmer050 : Load older savegame (before release of Feldbinder DLC) allows normal start of the profile. Then load the newest savegame again and the "missing DLC"-error is gone.

If VTC will every make it to fruition, dedicated servers is a good thing.

The limitation can be partly on the game, if it struggles to manage too many players near due all the limitations in graphics we all know.

But also SCS said time ago they don't want to allow more crowded sessions until the game doesn't have moderation and control tools that allow an efficient management of more than 8 players at the same time. In most cases, more than 8 people is something beyond the close IRL friends circle so it's good they don't want a host of such a session to have to deal problems with crude or inexistent tools. In the blog post they have mentioned again their intention to add those tools. That gives time them also to polish performance issues that could happen on scenarios with more than 8 players.
