After two years, it's a little late in the game for this, but I just became aware of an issue with the
(permalink) feature. You can find it discussed here:
http://www.titanquest.net/forums/gam...creens-43.html . The discussion starts on message #852 - if you don't find it on the page I linked, try
http://www.titanquest.net/forums/gam...creens-86.html - and that happens to be the problem.
In fact, cut-and-pasting any page url from the address bar will cause the same problem...
Couldn't the page number in your URLs be a variable that accounted for the user's settings?
