I'd like to get definitive word on how exactly this works before I begin implementing it on my server. I just won't do it until I know with the current player base. So a breakdown would be very helpful for us server admins.

    The built in system basically locks the server at MaxPlayers - ReservedSlots, and at this point, only accepts users that are in the reserved slot list until the server is full.

    So if you have a 24 player, and you set 2 reserved slots, the server will fill and stop accepting normal players at 22/24 until 2 people with a reserved slot join then be at 24/24?

    Just making sure I have this right.

    It will show up as a 0/22 player server in the browser, but allow 2 people past the 22 (so 24/22) to join if they are in the reserved slot list. However, its not working properly right now.

    0/22, is that a typo or it is glitching and saying that? I assume you mean 22/22.

    Yes, reserved slots should be invisible to the server browser so it will read 22/22 (and be removed from full filters) but reserved players will still be able to connect.
