In UE 4.13.2, 4.12.5, and 4.10.4, using the checkboxes for:

Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>Subtitles Enabled = false  
and  
Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>Subtitles Forced Off = true

Subtitles will still appear after relaunching the editor, until the checkbox values are cycled.

Steps to reproduce:

- New empty C++ project
- Check Subtitles Enabled and Uncheck Subtitles Forced Off in Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>
- Add a new SoundWave, DialogWave, DialogVoices for speaker and spoken to, SoundCue.
- Assign the SoundWave to the DialogWave, the DialogVoices for the DialogWave, and have the SoundCue play the DialogWave.
- On map begin play, SpawnSound2D with your SoundCue.
- Play in Editor or New Editor Window.
- Subtitles will display, as expected.
- Uncheck Subtitles Enabled and Check Subtitles Forced Off in Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>
- Play in Editor or New Editor Window.
- Subtitles will not display, as expected.
- Restart the editor.
- Verify Subtitles Enabled is unchecked and Subtitles Forced Off is checked in Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>, but don’t change their values.
- Play in Editor or New Editor Window.
- **Subtitles will display, incorrectly.**
- Check Subtitles Enabled and Uncheck Subtitles Forced Off in Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>
- Uncheck Subtitles Enabled and Check Subtitles Forced Off in Project Settings-\>Engine-\>General Settings-\>
- Play in Editor or New Editor Window.
- Subtitles will not display, as expected.
