Server Side Game Settings 5.22

I'm not sure if anyone else is having the same problem. But the new server side game settings that was introduced in patch 5.22 doesn't seem to be working for me. I enjoy playing at some of my friends house and I have tried on two different computers but the settings haven't been the same at any time as what I have on my computer. So I'm not sure if I have missed something or if they're something I need to do for it to take affect.
