Cannot Set CPU Shadows

[Calismic]

I have always run the game with CPU shadows, for reasons unknown setting GPU shadows makes my game look like a flashing disco, but I digress.  Since the latest patch and launch of Velious I can no longer set my options to CPU shadows.  The pulldown is there, it will let me choose it, but when I hit accept it just goes right back to GPU shadows.  Any suggestions?  The GPU flashing shadow lights are giving me a headache.  Thanks!
