How to Configure the Public Queue Limit on Your Squad Server

Note:

Always ensure the server is fully stopped before editing Server.cfg to prevent configurations from being overwritten upon restart.

2. Stop Your Server

---

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

4. Open the ‘Server.cfg’ File

Navigate to:

SquadGame/ServerConfig/

---

5. Edit the ‘Server.cfg’ File

6. Understanding the Configuration

Setting Variable	Value	What It Controls	Impact / Behavior
PublicQueueLimit	25 (Default / Recommended)	The maximum number of standard, non-whitelisted players waiting in line to join.	Balanced queue capacity; keeps waiting lines active without causing long matchmaking timeouts.
PublicQueueLimit	0	Completely disables the public queuing system.	Players cannot queue; they can only join if a server slot opens up instantly.
PublicQueueLimit	-1	Removes the waiting limit entirely (unlimited queue size).	Allows endless players to queue, which can cause excessive server connection load and timeouts.
PublicQueueLimit	Custom number (e.g., 10, 15, 30)	Sets a custom cap for waiting public players.	Limits queue sizes according to your server hardware and traffic preferences.
