While it's unsupported, there is a guide on steam if you just search it up, I won't provide a link but it isn't hard to find. Know that some things will be weird, like your lobby, in-game chat, potential for corrupted saves.

Dev has asked people not to do this as it causes stability issues on the servers.

And you also run the risk of corrupting people's saves so OP please consider the dangers your risking JUST to have one additional player on your lobby!

And risking corrupting your friends saves back to LEVEL 1 and NO MONEY is any better?

Heaven forbid a game have limits in place to make balancing easier.

Left 4 Dead just just allow infinite players, then?

What about the player limitation in Smash Bros?

The player limitations on any server in any FPS?

Or god forbid try to preserve their game experience because if they saw they got 200 dollars and went from level 1 to level 10 from one contract (exaggeration but its an example) only to boot the game up the next day and find them back to no money and level 1, that would pretty much kill their mood as well as their opinion of the game right then and there.

its not done just to limit players. its done to keep the game and servers stable. modding the lobby doesnt only effect your game, or even just your lobby. it effects the stability of everyone playing on the servers. im sure, it is too much to ask of you to have common courtesy, so I just look forward to when the dev starts banning players that mod the lobbies.

Oh I would love seeing that happen because I've seen people change the color of their lobby names, those people might see that as harmless but to everyone that knows better its harmful enough to where the developer won't ever be able to recover from which since this game's very early in its life in EA isn't good. There's more games that get stuck in EA than those that actually make it out of EA to full release.

If this happened to you, please join the official Discord server and message me (llefty#0001) or another of the online moderators there. Most of us can restore a player's save data if it becomes corrupted.

Thats not true. Left 4 Dead has PLENTY of modded servers and for a long time, and it has ZERO impact on normal unmodded servers.

Because for L4D2, its hosted on their server, not official game servers. For this game, the servers in the region are hosting your games. There are ways to fix this for the dev, but he is a 1 man team and I haven't seen any news of him having his own testers for his bug fixes.

L4D2 servers are hosted by people, their servers. I can host server with as much "stuff" as I want, make it completely different from vanilla in every way, but it won't affect anyone else who is playing on other servers, obviously.

Phasmophobia has number of regional servers and every hosted game is on those servers. Meaning that if you somehow manage to f*ck things up with your "fancy" lobby, it may impact everyone who is on that regional server. Maybe not, I'm not sure, but afaik it's a possibility, depends on what do you do with your lobby, how much do you mod it or whatever.
