Learn how to configure automatic team balancing on your Over the Top WWI server → Find out more
Team balance is essential for fair and fun matches in Over the Top WWI. Without proper balancing, one team can gain a significant advantage, leading to uneven matches and a poor player experience.
The auto-balance system keeps things fair by automatically distributing players between teams when certain conditions are met.

Automatic team balancing is configured in the ServerConfiguration.ini file. You can edit it in your game server dashboard under the Configuration tab: select the ServerConfiguration.ini file and click Edit directly to change the raw text. The tab also displays many settings as form fields with explanations. Alternatively, open the file in the config folder under the Files tab. The file contains the following parameters:
EnableAutobalance = 1
TeamPercentsAutoBalance = 50
AutoBalanceThreshold = 5
MinAutoBalanceCount = 15
LimitTeamSelection = 0
EnableAutobalance enables or disables automatic team balancing
0 → Disabled
1 → Enabled
TeamPercentsAutoBalance defines the desired team distribution. Example: 50 = equal team sizes
AutoBalanceThreshold determines how large the imbalance can be before balancing starts
MinAutoBalanceCount defines the minimum number of players required for auto-balancing to become active
LimitTeamSelection restricts players from manually choosing a team
0 → No restrictions
1–3 → Limits team selection depending on the value
After editing ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The auto-balance system will then automatically distribute players between teams during matches.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained after restarts. The only exception is WhiteListIsEnabled: ZapX sets this value at every startup based on the Enable whitelist startup parameter. The server name, player count, and passwords are not in this file; you can set them under Startup Parameters in the Configuration tab.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured automatic team balancing on your Over the Top WWI game server. This helps ensure fair matches and improves the experience for everyone.
