I changed all the first settings of 8 to 16.. so our server starts at 16 and goes to 32, then 48 and finally 64. Here is our server stats for anyone curious. Notice it used to always die out over night.. not last night. It only dropped down to about 30 players.. but since the plugin cut back the playerMax .. it stayed full. https://myrcon.net/recovered/img/27101_97645_week.png.html Quote * Restored post.

You're simply asking to add a delay after a round starts before the maximum number of players is lowered. This won't be added in the next version, but may be added in the future.Correct. The plugin doesn't automatically change maxplayers at the end of the round for me, nor does it change right after the new round starts which is kind of frustrating seeing is it may prevent connecting users from joining teams. I may have done something wrong though.. Quote * Restored post. It could be that the author is no longer active. Link to comment

The server did not crash, as the rounds did not end, in fact it all happened during a single round, the graph nicely shows your plugin refilling the server, but shows twice wat happens when the max player variable is applied incorrectly to a full server. I am not expecting you to fix it, hehe, just letting you know there is a miscellaneous problem. :S Quote * Restored post. It could be that the author is no longer active. Link to comment

I'd need to see the debug output when this occurred in order to diagnose the problem. That said, wait until you start using the soon-to-be-released new version. Quote * Restored post.

It's goes down to 8 intentionally, the whole point of this plugin is to actively change the server size in order to keep it closer to full. Quote * Restored post.
