All Custom Game Options deselected

[CaptainAdrastos]

Hello,
Since version 0.40 I have the problem that all my custom game options like "Raging Barbarians" or "No Technology Trading" are not remembered anymore.
In addition this properties got re-arranged with 0.41a
This is very annoying.
How can I make Civ to keep the selections I once made?

I am playing FfH2 0.41 with patch "a" (clean install) and Civ Beyond the Sword patch 3.17

The options not being remembered is not new, and is working as intended. There are some problems that are caused by remembered game options. If I understand the situation correctly, it causes players who switch between mods to end up with options selected that they didn't want and can't unselect.

As for the repositioning of the options, that is new in 0.41. The positions are likely to change again, since there are unfortunately some options that are hard-coded into certain positions.

If you know you won't have the problem of options being transfered from mod to mod then you can set ForceGameOptions in the FfH 2 ini file to 0. I'm not sure if the ini file is overwritten with each FfH 2 patch or not.
If you play any other mods, or BtS without mods, then you should not set it. As Emptiness said you can end up with options set that you can't unselect.

You can also set options to what you want in CIV4GameOptionInfos.xml. Just change bDefault to 1. This is unfortunently reset with every patch, so you'll have to remember to do it again.

Awesome info! And to be honest, the only mod I'm playing is Fall from Heaven 2. In my opinion this mod is better than Civ 4 itself. No offense!
Unforunately I've installed patch 3.19 yesterday and now I can't start the game anymore. However, I've read that this problem may be fixed soon.
Well, thanks for the .ini -hack again and no further questions
