Low quality mode now has to be toggled on every time you refresh/login to the game. Just for further explanation, I refreshed the page to see the new updates and noticed low quality mode was turned off and so I turned it back on. Later I refresh again and it turned itself off again and so I decided to turn it on and refresh again and it did it again. I tried a few more times as well as asked a couple other players and they also experience this.
I play on kongregate and that is the only place that I have confirmed this, but I thought I would post it in the official forums as well.
