The error in this one has been fixed. However, when you exit the lobby and go back, it reverts your settings to the last ones you used when starting a game. A quick exit and restart of the lobby is a nice way to "reset" your lobby to the last settings you liked, if you messed it up.

I think I initially implemented it to revert on close-and-open, but then someone bug-reported that so I made it not revert in that case. Of course, what I thought I made the lobby do and what it actually does have practically no significant relationship :)

Well, whichever, I guess. ;)

Well, the issue I encountered is that the last settings I used when starting a game were Show Unexplored Planets unticked; going in to the lobby again for the first time indeed still had the Show Unexplored Planets option unticked; but then after the error which previously occurred above, the Show Unexplored Planets option was clearly ticked - despite the GUI still showing it as unticked.

So, in short (my that was a confusing sentence) my previous experience was the opposite from that which you describe, Chris - the error (perhaps) was causing it to forget the setting from the last time I successfully started a game (despite the GUI actually showing the correct setting).

I will retest it in the new version as soon as I can!

Okay, now I understand -- thanks for that! I'll be interested to hear if it still does that.

Although the related error has now been resolved, following the above steps still has the described (erroneous) effect on the Show Explored Planets option.

In short, the bug's still there, fellas!

I can confirm that this is still the case. With this option previously selected, re-entering the lobby shows all planets and you have to select this option twice to go back to unexplored planets being hidden in the lobby.

* Fixed a bug with the lobby that could cause it to have its visual state differing from the actual underlying selected options on the second run of the lobby on a game start.
** This also led to things such as AI Modifiers that were visually "already selected" not taking effect for real until they were clicked again. Fixed.
** This fix also causes the lobby to remember its existing state when players click out of it and back in.
