Report history
The previous version allowed you to change the player count even in High Form, but then people didn't understand why their game wouldn't start with 4p in High Form.
I agree it would probably be better to have by default min=max=2 players so that people don't get confused and only go up to 4 players after having set Deathmatch, but that's not something I can tweak in the gameoptions file.
- I'm not sure there's a way to specify which are the default values (I guess they would be the first one for each option but I'm not even certain)
- Once you've started at least one game, the default values for you will be the last you used, so generic default values would have very limited use
- I think, and there is a general consensus, that the game is mainly intended for and far better in 2p High Form, so I'd like that to remain the default way of discovering the game
