I am going crazy here. I have spent over 8 hours now trying to disable the bots on my CSGO server. This is the issue, sometime around the 4th player who joins my server the bot_quota automatically increases. Seems like it increases by 2 for each player that joins after 3, although I have also experienced this with 3 players.

I have tried everything I can think of, set bot_quota to 0 of course. bot_quota_mode I have tried normal, match, fill, 0, none, off, -1. I have tried bot_quota -1 and -10, this does not work because eventually after adding about 2 for each player that joins in gets in the positive numbers again.

I have made all these changes with my custom gamemodes_server.txt file and I have tried it in cfg/server.cfg file. I have read almost every line of every config file in my CSGO directories and I cannot find any setting that would be causing this.

As a temporary fix I have renamed the bot database files, but this causes lots of errors and eventually crashes the server around 6 players.

I am running this server on Linux CentOS 6. I have reinstalled and validated all the files.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? Is it a bug as this is beta? Does the map group or maps force bots (running arms race)?

I find it very strange after hours of google I cannot find a single other person having this issue. Maybe everyone just plays with bots now?

Please help. Thanks!
