Thanks for updates and making these changes.
However, I find some minor issues with the changes which you might already aware of.

1. At the time of taking screenshot or pressing Alt+Tab is giving me 1-2 seconds glitch and stopping the game for that time.
2. I have to select vulkan renderer everytime I start A3 client even after selecting quality and applying the changes.

This is my current system configuration.
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor, 3400 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
Motherboard: BaseBoard Product B450M PRO-VDH (MS-7A38)
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GT 730 (2 GB)

Hope you can fix these issues at the earliest.

1. Screenshots now use PNG compressed lossless format as opposed to using Bitmap Format in the past. This will result in substantially smaller image sizes at the expense of more time required to compress and save the image. It also makes it easier to share the images since they are already compressed and are small enough to share over email or in the forums. On fast enough PC, this should be negligeable. Ensure that you have installed the game in the SSD drive.
   
   Instead of using Alt+Tab, use Windows Key + M or D or arrow down key to reduce the time taken for the game to minimize.
2. Vulkan is not supported on your GT 730 graphics card and that's why it goes back to using DirectX.
