Game Version

[e.g. 20264.5.3999]

Operating System

[Windows 11]

What Happened​

First installed the prealpha, and selected sandbox as the first thing, from then on, once I launched the game it went straight to sandbox and did not let me choose anymore between testing or sandbox.

This is what my game settings document looked like, even though "selectSystemOnStart = true" was on true, the select system on start screen did not appear.

[system]
selectSystemOnStart = true
displayChangelogOnChange = true
checkForUpdates = true
lastSystemId = "Sol"
lastVersion = "v2026.4.5.3999"
gameSettingsVersion = 0
startVehicle = "Rocket"
startParent = "Earth"
startSituation = "RocketStartingSituation"
startGameType = "Sandbox"

What Was Expected​

The option to select between testing and sandbox at the start of the game

Reproduction Steps​

  1. installed pre alpha
  2. Selected sandbox as the first thing
  3. After that every time I open went straig to sandbox

Reproduction Rate​

Always
