I know this has been answered before, but it's a bit too specific to

True or false: When you have sv_search_key set, people who do NOT have
it set can still connect to your server through a lobby.

Imagine it like this. Whatever you set to sv_search_key is assigned to
variable args. The code then does search_key = key: + args + 1013; so you
would send up with search_key = key:args1013. You don't need to add the

Since the last update, sometimes a server will empty but will keep running
with 4 bots sitting it. With the 4 bots, lobbies wont find the server since
it appears to be active. A restart or even a simple map change fixes it I
think. I could be wrong, but this is based off my observations so far.
