What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

In the NetPlay Dialog, after choosing a game to host, the window will say "stopped game" and then when changing options (for example, changing the buffer, turning on recording inputs etc) will also cause it to say "stopped game", even when no game is running

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Open Netplay, choose a game, host it, change options (can be done without others joining the lobby)

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
I don't know the exact release date but this didn't happen in your release from about six months ago. Might be related to NetPlayDialog.cpp line 431 " if ((state == Core::State::Uninitialized || state == Core::State::Stopping) &&"
