Uhm, there´s nothing to fix! Fakeplayers are actually nothing else than
bot_quota XX bot_join_after_player 0 bot_join_team spectator (very simple spoken) with the difference that the fakeplayer plugin generate (mostly) a fake ping & applies random names, wich is unrelated to the player ammount wich is shown! As VALVE introduced with a serwerbrowser update (quiet some time ago) bot´s reduce the shown slots on steam serverbrowser, so "if you set it to 22 fake players, then your server only shows as a 2 slot server on the list (if it's a 24 slot server)", BUT, this is ignored by any query plugin (or services e.g gametracker/game.monitor) and shows the actually max available slots (maxplayers) and the ammount of players wich are on (incl. bot_quota!) This is fue VALVEs query protocol. The only suggestion here would be that VALVE updates the query protocol, respective the engine to stream only maxplayers and automaticaly drops bots fom stream liveplayers amount, similar to how it is done for the steabrowser.
