graphics settings

i cant find anyone whos talked about this recently, and i've ONLY STARTED having this problem since the most recent update.

i cannot get my graphics setting to stay where i set them. when i enable certain settings the game tells me i need to restart in order for them to apply. but when i do, it all resets to the lowest graphics settings and the game looks AWFUL. i cant get landscaping to stay loaded on my screen so i cant see what my builds look like properly.

im also noticing some lagging/loading issues that ive never had before. when i try to move across a lot, the game jolts every time a mirror or window or windowed door shifts from opaque to transparent.

my game is basically unplayable right now.

i already know the solution is not to update my graphics drivers bc i did not even 2 weeks ago.

    marzrov​  Are you running the Nvidia App (or perhaps GeForce Experience), and have you allowed it to "optimize" your in-game settings?  If so, please disable that option.

    If that's not the issue, please change the graphics settings one at a time to see which one is causing the game to drop to the lowest settings.  If it's all of them (or I guess a few in a row), that would also be useful information.

    I'd like to see a dxdiag as well.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
