A bit late but I can confirm that switching to high performance did allow me to complete the first quest in Path of Fire (Sparking the Flame). My connection was dropped by the client twice at the same point, just after you talk to the dude with the injured leg and his sister for the first time. It would be pretty slick if you could set a custom graphics setting so that you could simply switch between performance when faced with more graphic intensive content and the custom setup when putzing around or grinding; does something like that exist in the form of a mod? Would be even better if they just fixed it but here we are _(--)_/
