OK,
 
Now I am having a fair few graphics issues with X2, and decided to do yet another install.  This time the option for using Hardware acceleration has disappeared from the preferences menu... completely bamboozled.
 
What the heck is going on?! 

The hardware accelerator option was added in the X2a update. Did you reinstall the update after installing X2?

I'm running X2a and do not see an option for "hardware acceleration".  Could you tell me where it is?
 
Thanks,

From the X2a Update notes. It is for Win8 users only.
 

Direct2D Technology Preview

In Windows 8, SONAR X2a’s Matrix View and built-in ProChannel Modules can take advantage of Direct2D, which is a hardware-accelerated, immediate-mode, graphics technology from Microsoft.  This option, labeled “Use Hardware Graphics Acceleration,” can be enabled in the Preferences dialog on the Display page.

Yup I'm using X2a, I rechecked, and it's not there. :-(

Weird!

Are you running Windows 8? I have it under Preferences display.

Hi John, yup I am running windows 8 and that's the same places I'm looking for it. Is there any way to uninstall the x2a patch and reinstall it?

The only way I know to back out X2a is to perform a clean install of X2

Figured that might be the case. I'm having so many problems that this will be the 3rd clean install I will have done :-/.

Thanks

Don't forget the registry edit so you can achieve a clean installation.
