Disabling shadows in the options in game crashes the game at next reboot, you have to delete the save files again in order to play. this was found out / reproduced after a other player reported a bug that his terrain started glitching after disabling shadows. on his restart he had the character select crash as well and deleting the save files resolved it


1: log in game (full load)
2: disable shadows
3: restart the game bug found

4: remove .save files = temp fix. long term players cant disable shadows. un known if more options will cause the character select crash bug.
