Grind Assist setting broken after S2 update

I'm also having this same issue. Hopefully it will be fixed soon

For anyone struggling, if you hold forward when jumping, you will be able to briefly disengage the game's stalling/grinding mechanics. I know it's not said anywhere in game but this is your best workaround, so please upvote and share this information. 

I was wondering why I kept going into grinds even though I was trying to do manuals.
So thus far, Full Circle managed to fix... well, did they fix anything, or did they really just introduce six new bugs (that we know of thus far)?
Good lord, this is almost funny.

THIS!!!.  Please fix this ASAP!

This is a huge issue! Some game settings reset on launch as listed in Known Issues, but the separate issue here is that the Grind Assist setting appears to do nothing at all anymore-- it is stuck at a magnetizing assist, even when changed from 100.

Edit: Launched the game and did some testing to see if I could find a trigger. Upon launching and setting Grind Assist to 0, grinds are still magnetized. Shifting up to 5 then back to 0 seems to properly apply less (or 0) assist. But after completing (starting?) a mission, opening a box, or redeeming an item from the season pass, it starts magnetizing again, and the setting needs to be reset to 5->0 again to apply.

I'm not sure how consistently this happens or if the assist even works properly after setting 5->0, but maybe this can help devs look for causes of bug.

I would like to stress this is not just the bug of the option resetting, the primary issue is that Grind Assist remains ON even at 0%. Sorry, I feel like I need to really make that clear.
