switch renderer from commandline on Windows?

[jack_norton]

Since have many users with broken videocards, I thought perhaps would be easier if we could set the renderer from the commandline? like after I compile a game I could setup different shortcut from the installer to appear in the start menu:
Play Flower Shop (GL) -> FlowerShop.exe
Play Flower Shop (DX) -> FlowerShop.exe /renderer:DX
Play Flower Shop (Software Mode) -> FlowerShop.exe /renderer:SW

much easier than having to explain every time to hold shift down before starting the game bla bla (remember many players aren't expert of computers). Thanks!

Are we really getting huge numbers of people with broken video cards like this? And what sorts of problems are we getting from these people?

Well I think it's small as percentage, but it's annoying and I think could be solved better this way.

mostly laptops, probably very old ones!

I have to correct myself, I'm getting ALMOST ONE SUPPORT EMAIL A DAY NOW. Surely compared to the percentage of users playing is very small, but... before 6.13 I wasn't getting any! I don't want to get back to have the game default to software renderer, but I think the idea above should be added. Just a simple commandline switch so people can just try the various premade shortcut options without emailing me every time
