Why does Ira choose the settings herself?

Today, when I logged into the game, I discovered that the game had decided for me that the current graphics settings weren’t suitable and that they should be forcibly set to low. What the hell is this? Why is someone deciding for me what graphics quality I should play at? Everything has always been fine, but no, they had to ruin the already bad impression of the game

I have the same issue - yesterday afternoon all was fine on my old pc (could play wt on “high” with 30-40fps) - after the evening update I am forced to ULQ - wtf!

I have the same issue. I got 13 years old PC, I was playing on HIGH settings before the update. Now it says that I have top update my very old R9 380 graphics card drivers but I can’t cause I got blue screens if I do so. I had no problems with other games. It is so absurd to force a player to use ULTRALOW settings. You can’t change the settings in game either, texture quality is forced to LOW and can’t be changed.

I have just bought a premium account for 180 days, there is no way that I can play this game with these silly settings. You may suggest to lower the settings, or force it JUST ONCE but forcing ultra low settings every time I open the game is just terrible. And on top of that I can’t change them back to normal HIGH settings.

You can bug report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

Same problem here. After yesterday’s update, game displays a message that my graphics card driver is outdated and forces ultra low quality.
My old PC (i5 6600, 16GB RAM, AMD R9 380) ran the game with no problems at max settings - never dropping under 30fps in ground battles, 60 fps in air battles.
Now somebody decided that my gear is too old and forces me to play at ULQ. Game looks horrible.
Hope this is resolved soon.
