Game settings not working

What you set in the game settings in FB room are not always what are in the game when you look.
I had all boxes unticked and launched, ingame was correct. In next game I ticked all the boxes and saved info. when I opened the info up to launch all boxes were unticked but people said they saw all ticked.
In game the all switches were off.

Bug is still there Smile

Only this or also other combination of settings ?

Seems to be random combination, just tested by ticking evrey 2nd tick box saved/launched and was set in game (worked). I came out of game and started a new game. this time I ticked all boxes and saved. when opened the launch game dialog it was back to every 2nd box ticked and was like that in game. ?

2nd test was to tick *all* boxes (switches) within game and then back out and host. The result was all but one box (vulnarability) was ticked in the window. In game it was the same settings after launch. ?? wonder why it didnt see all switches ticked ?

gotta go will test some more later on .

Note: Also need to get players to repeat what they see to host to make sure all is correct. Out of 300 players I could not get anyone to repeat what they saw my settings at.
Might be because all boxes were unticked and thought I was a whimp ?? haha
going to test it more yet.

Ok got someone to test version 46 with me. (Thanks spieler)...
Seems that he saw my settings but when I ticked all boxes and saved, he saw all boxes ticked apart from 1 (Vulnerability).
So I unticked all boxes and ticked only Vulnerability and he saw the first, second on left side and 6 boxes ticked on right side.. ???
I have to go to work, will do some more later on.
So far what host see`s is correct but not what other players see.

For testing both users must have .46 version. It working for me correctly.

Mentioned bug was caused by M$ gus that dont know that hex 8000 is 32768, not -32768 as they addet in to Visual basic calculator Evil or Very Mad

To solve that problem generally i need to change HL version to a 3.2.xx that will happen over this weekend, after succesfull test ...

Done some extensive testing using a lot of different settings in IL2FB.
All settings in games I hosted were seen as correct with user with same version as me (46). Very Happy

Tests were done in IS room so people would not try to join, that shouldnt make a difference?
