It has been neglected for years now.\r\n\r\nSimilar story with the Direct3D driver, it's a hit and miss depending on Windows version and GPU version and vendor.\r\n\r\nI suggest we stick to some version of OpenGL 3 specification and make the best out of it. Focusing all graphical efforts on it. And when it is complete and stable enough then we can move to something else.\r\n\r\n\r\nI do believe that will be the right choice, since it is widely used, multi platform and reliable API/Lib.\r\n\r\nSo, what do you have to say? Shall we focus our graphical efforts and amazing shaders on OpenGL only, making the best out of it?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/minetest/minetest/issues/comments/418181850","html_url":"https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7694#issuecomment-418181850","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/minetest/minetest/issues/7694","id":418181850,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxODE4MTg1MA==","user":{"login":"sfan5","id":1042418,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjEwNDI0MTg=","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/1042418?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5","html_url":"https://github.com/sfan5","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfan5/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-09-03T19:32:59Z","updated_at":"2018-09-03T19:32:59Z","author_association":"MEMBER","body":"> One of the reasons for dropping support would be preventing confusion many users face when selecting the driver and the frustration it causes when the drivers selected does work well.\r\n\r\nMy question to those users would be: what are they are doing in the \"advanced settings\" menu if they do not understand the settings they are changing?\r\n\r\nI get that the variety of choices, of which 50% \"don't really work\" is confusing. But this isn't a user-facing setting, it's hidden in the depths of advanced settings, you are not supposed to choose a driver."}}
