I'm trying to figure out how I made TranZit have 8 Players instead of maxing out at 4. I was playing yesterday and stumbled upon this while inviting a friend. I've searched for how other players have used a second signon to back out of the game and send an invite, but that method was patched and I get the error about only a local host can exit the lobby. Anyone every play with 8 players and know how to do this? I took a few pictures of the menu so that you know it's possible.
