Description

« Hide

Just mentioned this to Torley this morning and he said I should open an issue. The mouseover help for "Enable OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects" sez "Enabling this may cause some OpenGL drivers to crash." o.O

Sounds like a feature I really want. LOL There should probably be some more descriptive help written to say what VBO actually does. =^.~=

Thanks for reporting this! This probably falls under what we want to do with simplifying the Graphics Preferences in WindLight.

I don't think simplifying the graphics preferences is a good idea (they've already been simplified too far).
