How to choose Vulkan renderer in Tier 2?
I noticed that in Tier2 there is no such thing as #renderer "Advanced"

Can't we use

AGk::#renderer "Advanced"

Putting AGk:: before using AGk commands in tier 2

No, there is no agk::#renderer as # is an illegal character for function (or class method in this case) names in c++.

In core.cpp there is a line (although i don't know exactly where) where the renderer is being set up. (I remember seeing it while seaching for such an option.

If you use studio, the renderer is set to prefer best by default (Vulkan where available).

I think if you CTRL-F prefer best, vulkan, opengl or something you should be able to find the place where you can force vulkan (in core.cpp).

Found it.

Line 316 in the linux template, Core.cpp, in the main function (not sure about the other platforms) find:

agk::InitGraphics( &data, AGK_RENDERER_MODE_PREFER_BEST, 0 );

And change to the render mode you want
(ADVANCED, LEGACY, etc.)

If we force it like that and send apps to market, if the devices don't have vulkhan graphic cards then apps won't work or have undesired effects. Unless it automatically reverts back to opengl (supported by all cards) of vulkhan not found.



This will need heavily testing on devices that doesn't support vulkhan

It will work on ours but may not others

Just be weary of that scenario

Keep in mind you have to change the line in core.cpp, not add it to your game.cpp
