Summary

0003383: +compatflags[2] command line options broken in 3.1-alpha

Description

Compatflags cannot be any longer set from command line when starting the server if game's config exists. This happens when either the main Zandronum config is used or when a custom config is specified with "-config" argument.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Compile commit from "Additional Information" or a newer one like c11f78a.

Variant A:

1. Game config must pre-exist.
2. "zandronum.exe -host -iwad doom2.wad +compatflags 5 +compatflags2 10"
3. Use the server console to check both compatflags and they'll both be zero.

Variant B:

1. "server.cfg" cannot exist.
2. "zandronum.exe -host -config server.cfg -iwad doom2.wad +compatflags 5 +compatflags2 10"
3. Both compatflags will be set correctly.
4. Close the server.
5. Restart the server with the same command line.
6. Both compatflags will be zero now.

Variant C:

Do either A or B but put compatflags options in a what.cfg file and in the command line do "+exec what.cfg".

Notes
(0024579) Ru5tK1ng (updater) 2025-10-12 03:39	Doesn't seem to be an issue in 3.2.1. You should be using -exec and not -config for custom server setting cfg files.
