Server Cannot Change the Difficulty Level

If you change it from webadmin and it didn't properly change it, just do it again and it will work. I think if match is started it has problems to change it properly, but if you do it twice it works 100%.

Change difficulty -> Change Map -> if you see in lobby it didn't change as you wanted don't click ready and again -> Change difficulty -> Change Map

Or you can directly do a Change Map from webadmin by adding the difficulty and length settings you want in the Additional URL Variables it will work 100%

for exampleto set maxplayers, difficulty (0 for Normal up to 1, 2, or 3 for Hell On Earth), and length (0 for Short, 1 for Medium, 2 for Long): ?MaxPlayers=12?Difficulty=3?Length=2

Also if you have your server with the Take Over feature enabled people can randomly borrow your server by creating a Lobby from their main menu, selecting settings and creating a private game. The game will look for random server with the Take Over feature and change its settings according to the players criteria. Then when their game is ended, they leave server but settings are not restored they stay as it was for the game the players who Took Over your server for their private game had.

You can disable this from web admin in Settings -> General -> Allow takeover: [_] Enabled or [X] Disabled
