    Hello,

    I've been playing MW2 for about 2 weeks and today, I just got a message asking me to play on safe mode because I did not exit the game properly.

    I can play Multiplayer on safe-mode but graphics are poor.
    However in Solo is all good.

    How do I take off the safe-mode or bring back my usual graphics? :confused:

    Thanks!

    Just go into the games settings and set them back all to how they were. And for the record when the game asks you if you want to start in safe-mode for whatever reason just ignore it and hit no. Play as you regularly would.

    All safe-mode does is reset all settings to their default minus controls.

    All safe mode does is that it resets all the graphics settings to the lowest because the game assumes that it crashed because it cannot handle the graphics, whatever you have it set on. Just like Windows safe mode where you boot the computer with minimal required programs, the game boots itself with minimal eye candy.

    Ehhh I always exit it properly and it always says it wasn't....So I just ignore the warning! Screw safe mode! Everything runs fine, and saves me the time not having to re-config it every time.
