Game settings not saved in gtk3 client
Recently (after 3.0.5 release) fixed #43748 has hopefully resolved some parts of this. But from your list at least 'ruleset' remains, as it's not a server setting as such.
AI skill level has been turned to a server setting in freeciv-3.2 development version: #44105
The topology part has some interactions making it impossible (or at least; it would cause more problems than solve them) to save them. There's an improvement coming in freeciv-3.2 development version that wrap is a separate setting (that can be saved): #42289
There's an open issue about client not sending requested settings again after a ruleset change (so once you switch to that 'experimental' ruleset, your saved settings won't apply): #43747
I reported this against version 3.0.6, so the fix mentioned for 3.0.5 didn't fix it.

I reported this against version 3.0.6, so the fix mentioned for 3.0.5 didn't fix it.
Fix wasn't in 3.0.5, but had been pushed in to the repository after 3.0.5 had been released. Sorry for not being more clear. It was pushed also later than you had reported an issue.
Ah yes, I reported it against an older version, probably 3.0.5, and it was updated since then. But the settings are still not remembered. I first change the ruleset, then the settings, then click on "save". Most settings aren't remembered, but a few are.
I have to change the game settings every time, because they're not saved, no matter how many times I press "save", "apply" or "ok" in each settings tab. I'm using the gtk3 client, default Archlinux package.
The options I always have to set are:
Main:
1. Ruleset: experimental
2. Number of players: 4 3. AI Skill: hard
Geological: 1. Map size definition: tiles per player
2. Tiles per player: 35
3. Map topology: wrap east-west, wrap north-south, isometric (not hexagonal, yuck)
Sociological:
1. Player initial units: ccwwxk (I always have to add the k)
2. Migration probability within nation: 40
3. Migration probability between foreign cities: 40
Internal:
1. Set of nations to choose from: core
The rest of the options I never change, either because they have been save before or because the defaults are fine with me.
