Hello, just now bought battlefront 2 and I'm lovin' it so far. Just one question. How can I set my server to have more than a 4 player max limit? Thats as far as the slider lets me go. Does it have to be dedicated to do this?

Thanks,
Drexx

you have to change the option under multiplayer options that has a bunch of different things like 3mb or 1mb and stuff ithink it is the first option from the top in multiplayer options

If I choose LAN I can have over 4 players, but when it's on "internet" I only have 4 players max. ??? Whats up with that? I didnt see anything like 3 or 1mb.

Hmm, this is strange then. I dont have that option anywhere under any tab. It really sucks because I'd like to host a game with about 8 friends of mine, but it just wont let me choose more than 4 players max. =( I'm not running any server program btw, just the plain patched vanilla version of swbf2.

The only way to get more than 4 people is have enough bandwidth (your upload rate) to host the game. Unless you have a good upload rate like 1mb or so, hosting 8 players in a server may be hard to do.

I believe that if you have enough bandwidth, then it will allow you to change up to the max. If not, then the game will default you at the max players you can hold. I think u can downgrade from 4 players. If it's not where to change it was mentioned, then Im not sure where to look. Sorry.
