1Add a safe mode to reset graphics settings on crash

So many people, especially mobile players, mess up their graphics settings (like render distance or shaders) and get stuck in an infinite crash loop. They launch the game, it crashes right away, and they can’t even get into the settings menu to change it back. A lot of players end up reinstalling the whole game just to fix this, losing their worlds in the process. I have a simple idea to fix this: If the game crashes within a few seconds of loading a world, and this happens 2 or 3 times in a row, the game should automatically ask: "It looks like your graphics settings might be causing crashes. Would you like to reset them to default?" This would be such a huge help for new players who don’t know how to edit files, and it would stop people from having to reinstall just to fix a bad setting.

    Also, I think the pop-up message should be changed.
    Instead of showing a notification, please make the game automatically reset to default graphics settings after crashing three times.

    If the game is already crashing frequently, the pop-up may not even show up properly.
    Automatic reset is the only reliable way to actually fix the issue.
