Unfortunately it seems that there is a bit of a bug with saving the graphics settings for this game.
Resolution is saved correctly, so is gamma; however shadow quality and anti-aliasing reset after a restart to low settings.
The settings file is located:
C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Darksiders2\options.dopt
This file can be deleted while the game is running, and it is recreated as soon as the options are changed again. Setting this file to read only does not fix the problem.
Anti-aliasing in the game appears to be some type of FXAA due to the considerable blurring that occurs with textures. I've found that Mr Haandi's inject SMAA works ok on the low settings (SMAA seems to have a noticable performance impact on high on my GTX750), which allows you to retain crisp textures in game with some level of anti-aliasing.
Shadows aren't very nice; even on highest settings...but there isn't much that can be done as the option.dopt is not a plain text document that can easily be edited.
I've always thought though that darksiders 1 looked better than darksiders 2; but i'm still very happy to finally get them on GOG.
