Hey all, did a quick search and couldn't find this exact issue. For some reason when I log in now, my graphics are defaulting to super low quality that looks like a bad comic book drawing. Motion/travel is jerky and super laggy... it's super annoying. Added a screen grab in attachments. When I logged in I got a message, something about a crash detected/game failed to launch and graphics requirements. Never seen it before, and I've been playing for months and months with my current setup. I rebooted the PC and relaunched and message didn't come back, but graphics quality issue was present. It doesn't change, no matter what I do with my settings. Several people suggested checking "experimental" settings and turning off Cel shading? It was already off. Also suggested relaunching tequila as administrator, that did nothing. I noticed in screen options it tries to launch automatically in "Borderless (monitor 1)" and if I press the windows key the task bar at the bottom of screen doesn't show up. I was always playing in 1920x1080 before (my default monitor setting), and if I switch to that and apply, the graphics don't change and the windows bar still won't show up, then if I switch back the screen goes black and won't recover. I have to open task manager and kill the game.
I'm pretty much at a loss at this point and don't know what to try next, short of uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and if I do that I don't know if it wipes my account and characters or what? I don't see any reason why this started all of a sudden, since I've been playing for months with no issues. PC is about 5 years old, so hasn't been any driver changes in a long time. I checked drivers just to be sure and all are up to date. Running Win7 Home Premium, so no Microsoft support/updates anymore. Last updates were security updates for Office 2010 installed on 4/22, and I've played every day since then with no problems until yesterday. MB is Asus Z87-plus with I7-4790 processor and 16 GB RAM. No graphics card at all. Just been using the onboard graphics chipset, as it should be plenty to handle this game. Been debating getting a graphics card, but really don't know what to get that would be an upgrade, and don't want to spend $500-600 on a GTX1070 or anything that high end. Just want to figure out why I can't change the graphics settings for starters. Any suggestions?
