I began to notice very often that when collecting a lobby, players get to my server and change the game mode from versus to co-op (or another)

How can I block the change of game mode?

Actually, this only redirects to a whitelist map, the game mode itself can still be changed from the lobby room.

This thread has a similar topic:

The solution would be similar but game mode stuff has a lot of specific behaviours

write down cvars in cfg/server.cfg to force game mode consistently

PHP Code:

//coop, versus, survival
sm_cvar mp_gamemode "coop"

thanks everyone for the advice, I was able to solve the problems myself

it turns out that in order for the game to change the mode when loading, you need to write not "sv_gametypes", but "mp_gamemode"

Adding two values to server.cfg solved my problem

sm_cvar sv_gametypes "versus"
sm_cvar mp_gamemode "versus"

but there is one more question
how to prevent players from creating a private lobby (friends only)

have not noticed before.
Maybe this is fix for those lobby connections which change empty dedicated server game mode to else.

"sv_gametypes" = "coop,realism,survival,versus,scavenge,dash,holdout,shootzones" ( def. "" )
FCVAR_GAMEDLL FCVAR_RELEASE 
- Allowable game types, usually set on server launch command line.

My last question has not been answered yet.
I'll leave it here again, just in case
how to prevent players from creating a private lobby (friends only)
I saw on other servers how they do it

I really don't like that players connect through the lobby to my server and prevent other players from playing on this server, occupying it only with two or four people

As I understand it, this completely prohibits connection through the lobby. And I need to ban only the private lobby.
