is it intentional that you can select the mecanoids and shakturi as opponents in game setup?

Seems my settings are not being saved, have to choose them anew each time I start the game. Before installing the patch I removed the roaming/codeforce folder entirely from appdata. It was restored upon starting a 1.9.5.4 game, but remains empty apart from steam crashdump txts. Opened the game set up my options, started new game, adjusted automation settings and then saved to new location in My Documents, exited and went for a look.. can't see any sign of automation prefs or setting defaults files. Restarting the game brings up Galactopedia which I previously unticked and dismissed and all other settings are default too.
I was also experiencing this, and wondered if it was due to my Documents folder being on a different drive to my C: drive?

Anyway, I fixed the issue by manually creating the game settings folder, i.e. \Documents\My Games\Distant Worlds Universe. The settings are saved now, having done this.

Goodness me I hope not - There is nothing worse than applications that don't conform to Windows standards. %userprofile% and %appdata% are there for a reason afterall. [:D]
