PC Filter settings difficulty and length are not loaded from config

[Griffon26]

Category: Code

Reproducibility: Always

Summary: After restarting the game the server browser filter settings length and difficulty will always be set to 255, which shows as "short" for length and "-" for difficulty.

Description: After setting all filters to non-default values and applying them, the config file reflects the settings. Saved* will have single digit values.
After exiting the game, starting it again and opening the server browser the length and difficulty setting are no longer what they were. Applying the shown settings results in the following two values that are different from before:

SavedDifficultyIndex=255
SavedLengthIndex=255

Online/Offline: Online

A possibly related symptom is that if the map filter is set to ANY and you join a server that's running a map you don't have, then afterwards the map filter will be set to the last map in the filter list (one position above ANY).

So it looks like the map filter is stored as a position in the map list, which means that changes in the map list can cause changes in the selected filter.

I get this issue just by leaving the server browser and returning, no game restart necessary. I finish one map and go back to the browser and it's back to short normal games.

This problem persists in the latest patch.

@Lorkenpeist: you're right that it doesn't require a restart. It happens when you've restarted or when you've played a game in between. But it doesn't happen by just returning to the main menu and going into the server browser again.

This problem still exists. Did anyone ever find a fix?
