About this mod Author’s original text
RepoMorePlayers
Configurable maximum player count mod for R.E.P.O.
Features
- Sets Photon room MaxPlayers for newly created rooms.
- Patches the Steam lobby member limit used by SteamManager.HostLobby.
- Optionally shrinks closed rooms to the current player count, which helps avoid scene-load waits after the host starts a run.
The default cap is 10. The config range is 1-20 because high Photon PUN player counts can become unstable.
Install
Install Mod Manager, r2modman, or Gale.
For manual installs, place the DLL at:
REPO/BepInEx/plugins/RepoMorePlayers/RepoMorePlayers.dll
Launch the game once to generate the config file.
Config
Edit:
REPO/BepInEx/config/darkg.repo.moreplayers.cfg
Default config:
[General]
MaxPlayers = 10
PatchSteamLobby = true
ShrinkClosedRooms = true
Notes
- The host should install this mod. Clients normally see the room capacity from Photon.
- Do not run multiple max-player mods at the same time.
- If you use a late-join mod and want the room to stay open during runs, set ShrinkClosedRooms = false.
- Very high player counts may cause lag, desyncs, or loading issues.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
