[PS4] [ECO] Turning off NPC voting causes my game to freeze

I can duplicate this issue. If you turn off NPC voting in Manage Worlds, the menus get stuck on the screen and you can't close them. You have to force close the game. This doesn't seem to happen if you disable NPC voting in Live mode.

Edit: The freeze also doesn't seem to happen if you are in the choose a world screen, so you can disable the voting on loading a new game before choosing a world. You won't end up with random votes happening from having to load to live mode to disable the voting.

The freeze does happen if you try to disable voting from inside a selected world.

So, TLDR: Disable voting from the World Selection Screen in manage worlds, not in a world. Or you can Disable voting in Live Mode.
