    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    So why is the lobby option named like this?

      So I've posted this twice before, but apparently if I post this as a joke nobody understands it, so I will attempt to do a normal post for once.

      In the lobby options, the option to select how many phantoms there are is named like this with those options to select:

      What does this mean? xd

        It's from a (sim) mod that you have installed. Even when sim mods are disabled, their lobby options are still shown. The implementation is a little rough.

        A work of art is never finished, merely abandoned

          Which mod caused it?

          If you have uninstalled the responsible mod, and it still shows those values, then you have to delete any leftover trace/values which was written by the mod in your Game.prefs

            I have no idea which mod is overwriting the phantom options and now that I know how this happened its honestly too much effort to figure out which specific one is doing this.

            But now I know how to fix this, thanks

              Take a picture of your mod list. Then it can at least be reconstructed.

                The problem is not reinstalling the mods, the problem is figuring out which specific one is doing this.

                  Based on your mod list, I could identify the problem mod and perhaps offer you some sort of solution. But I might be misunderstanding you ^^

                    There you go! 🙂

                    Obviously there are some phantom mods here and there, but without deleting it (and maybe even have to reset game.pref) there is no way for me to tell if that is the mod doing this.

                      If you feel sharing your Game.prefs file, I might be able to help clean up any leftover entries and send it back to you, so you dont have to reset everything. Or create a moderation ticket and share it there with me if you dont want it public.

                          Mod.pdf I know the crossed-out mods and they're OK. Unfortunately, I don't know the rest. Does anyone know the rest?

                            So I deleted almost every SIM mod I had and was done to this list (including deleting the phantom mod, but the option was still ingame):

                            image.png

                            Then I deleted "DrunkenPhantomFixes" and the option disappeared.
                            After reinstalling the normal Phantom mod the option was back to normal. Then I reinstalled the DrunkenPhantomFixed and the option went back to "Fuck Youse Benny"

                            (Yes I got randomly motivated to do this. And @Saver regarding the mods on the list, most of them are from Sainse, Azot or myself)

                            Just posting this so you can do what you want with this information.

                              Sounds like @DrunkenChaos 's phantom mod for @Schmuckbenny and the other MLT guys

                                  It renamed my lobby options without my consent and used insulting terms!! Must have happened when i joined a random phantom lobby
