when i've changed game options to another, saved it by pressing Enter and back again to game options, i see the default settings!
i have the latest version of toribash...
When you are viewing replay after fight and you go to Game Rules to change it EVEN IF YOU WILL SAVE IT it won't change because you can't change rules when a replay is playing.
When you start the game replay are playing then. Just click singleplayer and be sure that you can move your tori THEN change the rules and click singleplayer again.
