[Resolved] TF2 MvM unable to change level

[Valryx]

My server appears to have some issues, i especially need help with #BUG 1.

#BUG 1 - happens a lot: The server refuses to change map. This bug is the one i have the most problems with!
Solved: Do not put "COOP 1" in your server.cfg

#BUG 2 - rare: Bots don't spawn. Only spotted in mvm_coaltown so far.
Assumption: Exploit.

Edit:
Rephrased my post a little, making it easier to read and less of a wall of text.

#BUG 1:
This bug usually appears when people completed all the waves once.
The server is supposed changemap and load the next map in mapcycle, but only the waves reset back to 1.

People try to vote for a changelevel, vote gets through, nothing happens.
I check HLSW, and it shows the map playing is coaltown, however i'm still ingame playing with people in mvm_decoy.
It doesn't make any sense to me :/.

I tried

Code:

changelevel mvm_coaltown

The server replied with

Code:

Unable to change level!

The only way i know how to fix it is to shut down the server and restart.
But it will just bug again after the last wave.

I've seen some people running their mvm server for a while with success, so i think i must be doing something wrong.
My hardware certainly isn't very impressive, however it runs srcds.exe only and is completely dedicated to the game.
No complaints about lag issues, only about the glitch.

Any help is appreciated.

mapcycle.txt and maplist.txt both contain:
mvm_decoy
mvm_mannworks
mvm_coaltown


#BUG 2:

Sometimes bots simply don't want to spawn when everyone is ready (all F4)
This appeared in the console over and over again, while attempting to start the wave:

Code:

Unknown attribute 'Where' in WaveSpawn definition
invalid Where argument 'spawnbot_lower'

- This bug only seems to occur in mvm_coaltown.
- People complained about some guy running in the air causing this bug.
The people all left, new people joined the server (without restart) and bots spawned again like they are supposed to.
So this might be an exploit, i've only seen it happen on the map mvm_coaltown so far.
