When toggling the graphics settings to safe mode, it doesn't remember the settings the next time I open the client. Also for some reason when I do this from the login screen, after switching to safe mode and going back to the Username/password interface, my password is included in my username, so instead of just Winter it would say something along the lines of WinterPussSlayer99
I use safe mode as it consumes far less memory and does not include the memory leak experienced in other graphics settings.
