How to Block People From Join Your Match?

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

There's a player joining my matches all the time.
He's joining my Fort Hope, and he's also joining my currently started match.
How does he do that, and how to block him from doing that?

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

I can kick him out easily, it's more annoying for him because he has to load all the time, and everything I need to do is to press the kick button. What intrigues me is how he's doing that, how a player can simply join other players match and lobby so easily without a way to stop it.

someones going to ask you to confirm that he is NEITHER YOUR STEAM NOR B4B FRIEND in the menu?

Find a group of friends and only play with them by invite and private matches. I know it's not easy to do, but if you play with random people you like, then friend them. There are also Discord servers and LFG chats etc where you can find good players. Eventually, you will have enough friends that a few people will always be available.

No.
I actually blocked him from both. Yet he's able to join Fort Hope and matches at will.

You can't.

If they're on your friend's list they can join you freely even in private matches, so ensuring they aren't connected to you there and playing private exclusively is an option, but you can still randomly queue with them in public lobbies.

However, private lobbies don't seem private. I've had randoms join multiple times and players that can force a connection through friends lists or certain elements of steam can ignore the restrictions. Basically, there's nothing to do.

I think you should read my OP again. I don't know why did you say that, really.

Maybe I did not understand you correctly then. When I had this problem I blocked them and set my games to private and that way only people I friended could join my game.

He isn't in my friend list, neither in the game, nor in Steam. I blocked him both in game and in Steam, by the way. It's easy to deal with this toxic player, I just need to keep kicking him until someone join and take over the slot, which isn't hard, I just need to press ESC and kick him, there's no vote, there's no delay. It's more working for him because he'll have to endure loading all the time. Anyways, it's kinda annoying.

Where do I find the option to send the match to be private?

When creating the lobby in the lobby browser. It won't be much good though, people can still join uninvited plus private lobbies tend to bug out after a few rounds and become public. This game's private matches just aren't private.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Oh, found it. Nice.

[Steve (Dawn's Hubby)]

But if what Wizard is saying is correct and the game ignores the private game setting and allows uninvited and non-friend players, then you have to wait for that bug to be fixed, I would think.

If this bug occurs after a few rounds, so isn't that big of an issue, after a few rounds I can recreate the lobby, or restart the game.

He's just a common default ♥♥♥♥♥♥ player. He couldn't handle 1-1 in Nightmare, he died before the BOT, and then cried a lot because I was dealing with a wave of Tallboys while he was dying. This happens, there are a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ players playing Nightmare, this is why I would love Nightmare to be blocked and only accessible after completing all maps in Veteran.

@D.A.R.K. I feel for you. The kid who kept following me around was an underage boy and that was really uncomfortable. I hope they correct this problem soon for you.
