Board Game Arena

I am calling $this->userPreferences->get() in my first game state after manager gameSetup on the PHP side. Intermittently it is not retrieving a value and only returns the empty string.

Do I need to wait on the PHP side for something to happen beyond transitioning to the first game state for userPreferences to be reliably available?

How are you calling it? This works
$pref = (int) $this->userPreferences->get($player_id, $code);

I did not have the cast to integer before the call. I will give that a try. Thanks.
