I notice GameTracker able to see server current cvar such as "sv_steamgroup", because having uninvited server using my steam group id, plus spammed with many server with it making hard to find.

There are way to prevent GameTracker see server cvar?

You can prevent it, but Steam Group IDs are public information. There are numerous ways to get the ID of a group. The issue is lack of authentication for setting sv_steamgroup, not that people have the ID.

there are two cvars I'm not sure which one does this because my memory is really corrupted:
host_info_show
host_players_show

It's probably the first so give it a try....
