    - Disabled the UI option to toggle Hardware Vertex Shaders / Software Vertex Shaders.
    - - This will still be supported through the eqclient INI, with the VertexShaders option under the 'Defaults' section.

    For anyone who may have had switched it off previously by accident trying to get better FPS (chuckles) either delete eqclienit.ini OR edit eqclient.ini and locate

    VertexShaders=False and change False to True.

    Just fyi this was added 2006-2007 iirc (or earlier), due to some video cards that were coming out, or CPU with integrated GPU that did not have the ability to process Vertex Shaders. The allow hw Vertex Shaders has hw standing for hardware. By having it unchecked it moved the rendering to the cpu/software instead having it generated by the GPU.
