I think it's a little different, for me at least. Now, I need to do something for my mouse sensativity, I hit main menu key, scroll to that, and whammo. I'm good. I hit escape and keep playing.
The only trouble is this. One menu in the game seems to effect every other menu's position memory. I got stuff from the safe zone, went out, and wanted to change my mouse sensativity again. I hit escape and enter, because that's where I was positioned in the menu. I heard, Connecting... and I was confused. I lost not much rep, but what had happened is that my menu position had reset itself. Yes, people might complain about having a prompt, but having a prompt is reasonable, and there's no good reason not to have it. If people are going to complain either way, why not take the most reasonable route, and certainly worrying about what people will and won't complain about preimptively won't help figure much out, if we already know that it's impossible to please everyone. Look at mouse support. How many people were either nervous, irritated, or downright crappy about swamp being a mouse-run game. now how many of those have changed their tune. my point is that it could save people a little grief, and it can't hurt anyone at all to implement an are you sure prompt. Microsoft word has this, because people make mistakes. Makes sense to me.
