Actually I am not joking…
In the past, there are errors that cause game engine to crash - partly, it is caused by buggy GPU drivers that boast they can (in capability) but they do not deliver. Basically drivers that lie… lol. But people are looking at game engine, and say hey your engine is buggy. So the fix is ugly eg we check for the driver details (release, graphic card name) and subsequently block the ‘boasted’ capabilities.
But simple error like yours shouldn’t be left unfixed… it would be unacceptable if it is only fixed in the next version (4.24 etc(.
