By default, multiplayer in Euro Truck Simulator 2 Convoy mode is limited to 8 players, but you can increase the limit up to 128 if you wish. To do this, you need to make changes both on the server and on each player’s computer so that the server appears in the list.
Find and open the configuration file on your computer
To see servers with more than 8 players, you need to modify the game configuration locally on your computer.
Go to this path on your computer and open the configuration file config.cfg:
If you have Windows 11:
C:\\Users\\\[your\_username\]\\OneDrive\\Documents\\Euro Truck Simulator 2\\config.cfg
If you have Windows 10 or earlier:
C:\\Users\\\[your\_username\]\\Documents\\Euro Truck Simulator 2\\config.cfg
Change the player limit value
Open the config.cfg file with Notepad.
Press Ctrl + F and find the line: uset g_max_convoy_size "8"
Change the value 8 to 128, so it looks like this: uset g_max_convoy_size "128"
Save the changes and close the file.
Server configuration
Go to your server’s file manager in the control panel under "Server Files". You need to find the config_ds.cfg file. It is located at the following path:
.local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2/config\_ds.cfg
Find the line: uset g_max_convoy_size "8"
Change the value to the desired one, for example: uset g_max_convoy_size "128"
Save the changes and start the server
Save the changes in the config_ds.cfg configuration file and start the server.
After launching the server, you will see it in the server list with the maximum available player count of 128.
