Anytime I try to access the settings menu, be it during gameplay or from the login screen, Defiance closes. :s

yes it does, in addition my magical 8 ball tells me that u play defiance on a 120hz screen which is plugged into your grafixcard via dvi.
This bug exists since alpha .in beta me and countless people reported it again - and it is still in the final version of the game.
You can avoid this crash by connecting your 120hz monitor via hdmi cable instead of dvi because hdmi is limited to 60hz. You could use another monitor... - switching your monitor from 120hz to 60hz doesnt work because it still is actuall capable of 120hz via dvi.
TL;DR : its a bug its an old bug, has been reported over and over again. neverever even one official dropt a word on working on it.
What the ****...
Devs scare away 99.99% of the people that truely care about their gaming experiences enough to buy good monitors and then don't give a **** about it?
Refunding this.
I saw this in beta and didn't report it because a ton of other people did - oh well. Sure would be nice to be able to adjust the graphics and gameplay settings. Can't believe the game shipped like this.
And yes, I'm using a 120Hz monitor connected via DVI. I have the ASUS 3dvision 2 rig with a GTX 650 TI OC connected to a Core I7-860
Haven't tried the HDMI trick, but I might just to see if I can adjust the settings and then go back to DVI. Super convenient.

There is a lot more that ONE word that tells us the devs are working on this issue. See this whole thread that Sledge started to gather more info so they can reproduce the issue and find a solution:Originally Posted by SEEKER

The few, the proud, the DEFIANT!
My issue is that they only created that thread now. This isssue has been there and heavily reported for weeks, and only now are they actually investigating what systems are having that problem? There was no attempt during beta to survey users even though it was clear that it is a widespread issue, I am almost convinced that absolutely every system with a 120hz monitor is effected, from what I heard.
There hasn't been anyone in the hundreds of threads about this issue say "oh, I'm on 120hz and it works!"
people don't usually go out of their way to tell others that something is working as it should, and if someone did - which some have through various fixes - the threads die out from new ones being posted about the error not being able to be corrected.
No, but in the many threads on the issue I would have expected at least 1 person to say "hey, it works for me on 120hz". I can't claim to have read them all, but I have read several hundred comments on the issue in dozens of different threads. All they had is other people reinforcing the issue, and some messy workarounds (hacking registry, using different cable etc).
You must be new to MMO forums, because 40% of posts in a widespread problem thread on average will be people saying they don't have the problem so it's obviously your pc that is the cause, for every MMO I have played, and I've played mmos since ultima online.
second part of my post said the ones who did get buried. Several people have reported a fix, there's a registry change method, switching from DVI to HDMI also can force it down to 60hz. Also saw somewhere there's a 3rd party utility that might do the trick, for a temporary fix. Most people running 120hz are having this issue, there are very few who aren't.
8 years of everquest, not that it matters.
