Minimum startcount

[MADRacing]

I can't play my own server anymore whenever i want.
Ea set number of players needed to start a game to 4, i can't do anything about it in the startup.txt...

There it stands like this; #Set the number of players needed to start a game (default: 8)
vars.roundStartPlayerCount 1

I heard Ea did this to block cheaters, but they kill all small servers in stead.....

Hopefully I3D can do something about this....
Otherwise my small server has no need anymore....

Its a big problem for a lot of people renting servers.

The only way I can get my server populated now is by staying in and trying to get people who join to stay.

If I dont to that, the server stays empty...

If no changes are made than I also will have to stop the server rental as it makes no sense anymore.

Hopefully EA/Dice will change the program to allow
free play without gaining stats pending the joining of enough players.

I did a test today, I joined my server and waited ...

dozens of people joined (logs available) none of them
stayed on My server.
Why ; Nothing was happening.
I stay in my server for a few hours more, people join and leave. All the time.

Only when I interact with potential players does it start to work.

WE, the server PAYING CUSTOMERS would like to see
that the join time does not mean dead time.
Let the players roam around without tickets.

I am a new time server renter, but this condition enforcing waiting without being able to roam around is ludicrous.

Fix It.

All for now == TAPE
