Summary0000351: Host game options not applying properly
DescriptionWhen you go to host game menu and show unexplored planets toggle is off you will still see all planets. After you toggle it it gets applied as it should. But the ship types on generated map will change then - this makes me believe that more options are not applied properly when you enter host game screen. If you click generate map button just after entering host game screen (while in that not correctly updated situation still) it regenerates the map without refreshing the options from toggles.

Changing of map style will apply options properly.

This may also relate to the problems with toggles being forgotten for expansions allowed and simple/norm/complex ships in the lobby on my system.
 Reinstalled on my Vista system and everything was ok until I used the updater. see report 336

checked, both mines and astro trains are disabled there
whats weird is that though I am able to build mines and I have seen ai train stations, I have not yet seen any AI mines or trains. Didn't play for long, though so I may have easily missed them

I just toggled all my selections off and back on including the exp and created a game. Looked using {ctrl+alt+s) at the stats and they showed things like astro trains disabled, Hybred hives for AI 1, and 3 minor factions active. Settings.dat was in sync. Exited game, then restarted the game and hosted again w/o changing any toggles (toggles in lobby still showed astro trains off and 3 minor factions on etc. However, using {ctrl+alt+s) to look into the game -- Astro tranes were enabled, no minor factions, and no ai plots. Additionaly the new settings.dat showed no changes from the earlier one ie. 3 minor factions on, trains disabled, etc.

Early Conclusion: settings.dat is telling the lobby which toggles to turn on/off but that is not getting reliably transferred into a new hosted game

uploaded zip with screenshots of the ingame galaxy stats and settings.dat files

Actually I thought that this is a UI issue in host game screen only - it seems it actually transfers to game badly too.
