Empire Total War Graphics Stuck On Medium

Topic Subject:Can I change graphic setting outside the game
War

For Empire: Total War on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Possible work around for Text blurring'. However I may have found a short-term solution. I have discovered that by going into optionsgraphics and then clicking the v-sync checkbox, the text is displayed normally when the game screen reloads.at least temporarily. Empire Total War Graphics Locked. Hey guys, I recently got a new laptop and when going to play Empire on it graphics settings above medium were locked for me. Empire: Total War; Stuck on medium settings. User Info: jjwilliams48. Your graphics card doesn't have enough memory to run the higher settings I believe.

I have come across a very strange issue.
I just installed aoe3 on my laptop understand that it can't handle aoe3 at it's full glory. When I loaded it up the in game graphics were all jumbled up but the menus still worked. So I played around with the setting untill it finaly looked proper. My issue is the shader setting. When set to low it works well, if set to high the graphics are jumbled and nothing looks as it should be. The problem is when it's set to medium the game kicks me out.
My issue in discovering that setting it to medium will get me kicked out of the game, I no longer am able to change it back to low cause the game crashes every time I get to the menu screen. Is there anyway of reseting defaults outside of game play? I just want to set my shader to low but It won't let me do it. Help

go to
C:Documents and SettingsYour NameMy DocumentsMy GamesAge of Empires 3Users
open the file NewProfile.xml in notepad
find this line
<Setting Name='optiongrfxshaderquality'>2</Setting>
and change it to
<Setting Name='optiongrfxshaderquality'>1</Setting>
and save and hopefully that should do it.
NOTE:
Make a backup of your NewProfile.xml file in case im wrong and it messes it up even more

Disclaimer: i cannot guarantee this will work, its only my best guess, the file i've pointed you at is the correct one to edit though.
This month I have mostly been playing Zelda Breath of the Wild
