option_error: sorry, unsupported options present in configuration: UNKNOWN/UNSUPPORTED OPTIONS

I upgraded to OpenVPN Connect 3.4 on ios.

Immediately I got error:
There was an error attempting to connect to the selected server.
Error message: option_error: sorry, unsupported options present in configuration: Server only option

Log contains:

resolv-retry infinite

persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key

For this post, I changed the "Remote" line to remonve the actual domain name.

Any tips for how I can get back to having OVPN working?
Thanks in advance.

These two lines were causing the error:
push "sndbuf 393216"
push "rcvbuf 393216"

Removing them solved the problem.
