| Called on: | PlayerControl of the host or the joining player |
This RPC is called when:
- Settings are modified in the menu
- A player has spawned (after modifications for the new player count have been made)
- When default settings are enabled and a player leaves.
When new options are added to the game, the version of this packet is increased and additional options are added to the end of the packet. The settings are also saved to disk and upgraded when a new version of Among Us is released.

Num Impostors Limits
Note that the game limits the amount of imposters that spawn by the amount of players:
- If there are 3 players or less, there are 0 impostors and the game is not allowed to start.
- If there are 6 players or less, the amount of impostors is limited to 1.
- If there are 7 or 8 players, the amount of impostors is limited to 2.
- If there are 9 players or more, the amount of impostors is limited to 3.
Note that with server-side mods it is possible to circumvent these limits. However, it may lead to undesired consequences: if there are at any point as much impostors as players or more, the host will end the game immediately.
