thank you this works

how did you figure this command out?

[smartidiot]

Thanks - that has been driving me crazy. Why did they use different parameters lol.

Launch parameters would be, if I'm not mistaken:

?MaxPlayers=1337

[Handsome Thaddeus]

Where to put it? -WinLiveMaxPlayers

[Manu]

It needs to be put as launch parameter. e.g.:

TheIsland_WP?listen -WinLiveMaxPlayers=200

?MaxPlayers= is not working for ASA.

I can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to host a much smaller server, 10-20 people. It keeps defaulting back to 70 players. Here is what it looks like for me.. Any ideas?

server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=********?ServerPassword=********?WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -NoBattlEye

Also..
In the GameUserSettings.ini it shows this at the very bottom. When I change it, save, start the server it reverts back to 70 every time.

[/script/engine.gamesession]
MaxPlayers=70

read carefully what the other wrote above. use -WinLiveMaxPlayers=xxx and NOT ...?WinLiveMaxPlayers=10. I just got this working too for the first time, there is a lot of wrong and misleading information out there because it is different to old Ark. Here is my fully working start command:

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=YOURSERVERNAME?ServerPassword=YOURPASSWORD?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=8 -NoBattlEye

forget about putting this manually in gameusersettings.ini, it should be added automatically after a successful start like this in the end of the file:

[/script/engine.gamesession]
WinLiveMaxPlayers=8

Take out the query port... it's not needed and has no use for ASA.

Thank you it works just fine !

Just wanted to add, that for me I run my server via steam tool so I just add
"-WinLiveMaxPlayers=3" (without "", we are 3 on my server) in the launch option part in the "general" category in my steam Ark: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server
