Hi,
I have just upgraded to v1.13 and I noticed that there is a SETUP.INI file that can be used, but there does not seem to be any documentation on it.
The Readme file mentions two flags, runtimetest and blitflipmode, but nothing else.

Can anyone supply a list of flags that can be used and how to use them, or point me to where I can find the documentation?

Anyone have an explanation of what these mean? They may fix some of my problems, but I don't fully understand the DirectX side of things.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

Hel IVIonkey,
Was there more to this reply?
It finishes with STARTUP section and refers to settings below, but there is nothing below.

Thanks in advance,
Gubinz

Here's my entire setup.ini file. I got it directly from Rich, so it's the latest and greatest.



I can figure out what most of them mean. If you're not sure, experiment with them.
