Play this game now

[MyHeroZero]

Is there a place to set preferences for the behavior of the "play this game now" button on the "game has ended" screen? I often will finish a game and want to play another using the same settings as the one I just played, which are also my default settings on the main game page (say, turn-based, 3 players, etc.) When I click the "play this game now" button, depending on the game it might automatically start a real time 2 player game. Or give me the error "Sorry, you need to reach 100 ELO to unlock Arena mode for this game. You can play a Simple game instead (use the top-left dropdown)." when I have never played arena, and I don't see a top-left dropdown. TIA!

Also I did search the forums for "play this game now" to see if this question has been asked before but I got the message "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: now play this game."

It's referring to the setting in the old lobby (Play Now) - it seems to remember your last setting. If your last game was an Arena one (for any game, not just the one you're currently looking at), it will default to trying to do an Arena game. The top-left drop down is on the Play Now page, or you can use the normal drop down on the game page as well (new lobby).

If you've never played any game as Arena, then it's probably some kind of bug that it's switching to that setting. I've sometimes felt like that may be the case for me, but hard to know as I do play Arena. In any case, I'm not sure if that bug is reported or needs to be, but either way, I suspect it wouldn't be a high priority to fix.
