Video/Graphics Resets
Every time I set Full Scene Glow Effect to "On" in-game and properly logoff, it resets back to "Off". I don't understand why but it just does that every single time. On a side note to this, Full Scene Glow Effect "High Quality" will not turn on while in-game unless switching from "Off" to "On". Meaning that I can't switch from "Off" to "High Quality" in one action.
Another problem (imo) is Video resetting the Graphics settings every time I change a setting within Video or simply press the "OK" button without changing anything. Such as switching from Antialiasing "Off" to Antialiasing "2", this in turn will reset Graphics to Space Junk Detail "High" and Distance Level of Detail "7".

Something similar happens to me consistently.
Clicking on the "Ok" button in the Video settings will change my Graphics settings to:
Background Detail - Highest
Effects Detail - High
Space Junk Detail - High
Doesn't happen if I Esc out of the Video settings though.
Mac OS X 10.5.6.

The 'Visual Quality' setting in the Video Options causes this. I'll see what's wrong with that, since it is supposed to change to 'Custom' when you change any of your settings. I think the game is thinking 'Custom' is a different valid setting instead of 'leave everything alone' setting.
