12 player lobbies are a reality

Trent did it! He really did it!

We were able to do an 8 player car crusher event with almost no desyncs until the very end. I should have taken screenshots.

But what if we did it, what if we hit that 10 player milestone? that would be insanity!!!

And the good news is it didn't actually cause my GPU didn't actually die, just go into a coma until I uninstalled the device and let Windows sort itself out!

Imagine a jousting match with 12 players.

Oh, the madness!

So was it stable ? how about lag ? Correct me if I'm worng, but I think its no surprise that it is possible but it is disabled for a reason.

12 player events would be awesom though.

It was pretty stable hosting on my hamster wheel internet connection for quite some time, until my computer decided to attempt suicide.

We have to organize a 20 player event with someone with a powerful computer + connection. Set a time and date and go ham.

All we need to know is how Trent made extra players in MP possible.

Nice job, Trent. Hopefully one day this will be official and bug-free.
