I haven't seen this posted before and I doubt most players care but my friends and I have noticed that the "Show Founders Tag" check box is missing from the options pane while in a match.

This has the irritating result of removing our founders tag if we make any options configuration changes while in a match, requiring us to then go to options from the main menu after the match to manually re-enable it.

Now I like the idea of being able to toggle the tag on and off, sometimes I just don't want it out there, but I don't want the game making that decision for me.

It has not been in game, that I can recall, at any point. I know that it is because it pulls the option while loading, and in game it can not be changed because it is a preloaded option.

It's called sloppy coding of their in-game options. Rather than not changing that variable and just leaving the option off, they leave the option off the in-game screen, yet feed it a default "off" value instead of ignoring it.

Classic rookie HTML programmer mistake: checkboxes don't return "yes" or "no", they return "(whatever value)" or don't exist... not checked and not existing are completely indistinguishable.

Still no excuse for it, especially as this bug has been reported repeatedly since Day 1.
