Open EA Input-Settings and press OK, with or without changes, and the OnInit() executes TWICE. Really messes with the idea of trying to politely handle errors. Anyone else noticed this and reported it? At first I thought it might be my complex coding, so I grabbed sample code from the Code Base....
