Automatic terrain downgrade

[lagger86]

When I log in to the MA's I am downgraded to non detailed terrain....this is not really a problem because my computer loads the needed "stuff" to run at least 60(usually 75) FR's. after a few minutes(more like seconds)I'm good to go.  I am just wondering if other people are having this happen. I ran the beta a lot and found what works for my system, and I have to say I love the upgrade. I am just wondering how long do you have or why does the game default to the non detailed terrain? I have run the new version very well(if not better) than the old one. This is not a whine by any means, but maybe people are getting
defaulted to the non detailed terrain and don't realize it. This may have been brought up, but I find that the longer I am in an arena the better the game runs.

It has happened to me as well.I just hit the Default video setting on the clipboard and it sets it straight.

Yea, they need to up the timer on it or make it so the first 60 secs u log in the arena it doesn't do that.  I get 50-60 fps with everything turned on including max AA and shadows.

Yep, this started for me with the latest patch. Every time I log in it uncheck's all the boxes under advanced. I run with everything on full detail (except SS and AA) and get a FR of 45-60.

We put a "safety net" in the game for those who were/are experiencing problems accessing the various detail options which kicks off the "Detailed Terrain" option when the frame rate drops too low.

HiTech has already stated he needs to make some changes to it in certain circumstances.  Look for a patch to address this.

Good deal

The timing is way too short.  Since it takes a few seconds (or longer) for the game to load, it always turns all the advanced graphics off, requiring us to turn everything back on as one of our first in-game motions.  Doesn't hurt gameplay of course, but very annoying turning it all back on every time.  Also, it is screwing the film viewer up, as per this thread:

Is 30 seconds before everything gets turned off a good compromise?  Too long, too short?  Right now it's way to short IMO, since nobody's PC instantly loads AH in less than a second.
