🎰Increase the number of slots on ETS2

Step-by-step guide to increase the number of slots on ETS2 (max_players, g_max_convoy_size).

The “convoy slots” change is done server-side and client-side. Otherwise, players will not see the server.

Objective

Take your ETS2 server beyond 8 players (e.g. 128).

Step-by-step guide

1

Stop the server

Stop the server from the dashboard.

2

Server side: increase max_players

In the FTP, open the file .local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2/server_config.sii, then edit:

max_players: 8

to:

max_players: 128

3

Client side: increase g_max_convoy_size

Make sure that the game is closed on each PC.

On Windows:

1. Windows + R

2. Enter:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2

Open config.cfg.

Search for uset g_max_convoy_size.

Set the same value as the server:

uset g_max_convoy_size "128"

Save, then restart the game.

4

Restart and test

Restart the server.

Perform a connection test with a modified client.

Common issues

• The server does not appear : g_max_convoy_size remained at 8 client-side.

• Some players see it, others do not : not all clients are modified.

FAQ

Do all players have to make the change?

Yes. Each player must modify their config.cfg.
