I don’t want to see public chat. Sorry for everyone who does, but I don’t.
So I log in, and I uncheck the “public”, like so: https://i.vgy.me/Y4vn8u.png
But every time I log in again, e.g. after a crash/disconnect or simply “the next day” or any other reason that caused me to exit and then enter the game again, the public option is checked again.
I consider this a bug, because other options in the game’s settings are being saved between sessions.
