    Changed graphic settings from Good to Fastest, ended up with a spinning windows 10 loading cursor, then received a Network Connection error.

    Booted to login screen. 30 more seconds at "Login Queue position 1" and I'm back in the game.

    I was then able to switch between graphics modes relatively quickly.

    Did this occur only once, or have you been able to reproduce this? There has always been somewhat of a hitch that occurs when adjusting video quality settings, but we haven't seen people being punted to the main menu before.

    It happened just the once. On subsequent video changes it was near-instant. I'll see what happens today.

    Thank you. And to confirm, near-instant subsequent attempts were also between large video changes, say from Beautiful or Fantastic to Fastest?

    Yes, I was trying to figure out some lines on the screen - if they might be related to video settings. I turned shadows from high to off, then from off to high (no issue). The went from "Good to Fastest" and got booted.

    Then when I was back in, any switch worked very quickly - fastest to beautiful, beautiful to good, beautiful to fastest, everything went pretty quick.

    This was all on the overworld map.


    Just logged in straight to overworld map and changed from "Good" to "Fastest," it took about 25 seconds for the change to take place. I expect that if it goes past x amount of seconds (60?) then you time-out.

    Subsequent changes now take 1-3 seconds.

    Edit - after playing for another half hour, the first "settings change" took around 30 seconds again. Explorer prompted me to close the program because it wasn't responding, but waiting eventually had it load.
