right click Torchlight in your games list and hit the ‘Properties’ option. In the Properties dialog, click the ‘Set launch options…’ button. In the dialog, type ‘SAFEMODE=1′ Then launch the game normally and it should start up with a safe set of options. Once the game loads, you will be able to adjust your options, BUT You will need to remove the ‘SAFEMODE=1′ parameter from Steam before running the game again or it will just reset your options again.
