increase the max amount of players in a lobby thanks

yes

Why

[ChickenWireLord]

imagine this game with 64 players

[Myth Alric]

I believe the limit was for stability reasons. So it isn't going to change.

Anything beyond 4 players would make the game too easy. Currently you can play solo on highest difficulty and still manage a perfect game.

It worked well for the ones in the lobby but it degraded the performance for the entire server which meant other lobbies were laggy and crashing due to it.

Easier said than done. You'd have to rework the amount of equipment in the truck (and quite possibly the effectiveness of said equipment), the ghosts, and the maps themselves to properly accommodate more players in the lobby.

The game was structured around 1-4 players. You don't just "make the game harder" without having to rework a ton of stuff.

then do it imo i feel like it would be way more fun with even more people

You can say "then do it" as much as you want, but we all know, that it won't come.

The game wouldn’t need to he harder - just make the rewards lower. More players -> shared rewards. This way people can play in a more social “fun” setting with more players without breaking any game balance.

It only then comes down to stability. If done properly (rather than a third-party hack) then there really is no reason for it not to be stable. There are many multiplayer games out there with way more than 4 players. Not rocket science.

You know what's more fun? Actually playing the videogame.
According to your Steam achievements, you have only one ghost discovered. Achievements were introduced back in November 2023, so you basically played 1 or 2 matches in the past 1.5 years.

You can always make your own game that supports up to 8 players!
