I am working on troubleshooting some issues and out of curiosity wondering...
What is the technical or practical difference between setting MS_FORCE_SOFTWARE_RENDERING=1 vs QV_D3DVERSION=0?
The goal is to force V8i SS2 (08.11.07.443) to "Software Graphics" of course, and both of the above appear to accomplish that.But is there any difference for curiosity sake?
Thanks,-G-
Hello G,
You are correct. Both variables do the same thing when set the way you mention. The only difference is MS_FORCE_SOFTWARE_RENDERING has an on/off switch (1/0), and QV_D3DVERSION has 3 values:
11 — Direct3D 11
9 — Direct3D 9
0 — software graphics
