INI

;
; Base Driver Deny List
; =====================
;
; Hardware checks are controlled by the console variable "r.WarnOfBadDrivers". The the console variable options for more information.
;
; What to do when a certain driver or hardware shows problems:
; - If the driver exhibiting the problem is old, add it to the DriverDenyList with "<=". In general it's better to ask users to upgrade.
; - If the driver exhibiting the problem is the latest, add it to the DriverDenyList with ">=". We should not assume the next driver version fixes the problem.
;
; Expectations on QA:
; - QA always tests the latest driver version.
; - When a new driver is released, QA should test it and if it does not introduce bugs the SuggestedDriverVersion should be updated to the latest driver.
; - If the latest driver is denied, it is not removed until QA verifies it is fixed.
; - If driver specific bugs are found, enter them in JIRA so that they can be tracked.
;
; Expectations on Engineering:
; - Bugs on older drivers are added to the DriverDenyList and otherwise ignored.
; - Bugs on the latest driver are added to the DriverDenyList but treated as critical bugs for which we must try to find a workaround. We must also notify the IHV to help if we cannot find the problem.
;
; INI sections:
; [Vendor OS] where
; Vendor: GPU_NVIDIA, GPU_AMD, GPU_Intel
; OS: Windows, Linux
;
; Explanation of the INI entries:
; - "SuggestedDriverVersion": string used to communicate to the user which driver version is appropriate (not used by any code), empty if unknown.
; Can use multiple so we can add per RHI appending ";D3D12" for instance for a specific RHI; having no ';RHI' will return that one if the RHI is not found
; - "DriverDenyList": array of tests that can be made to mark a driver or a range of them as problematic
; "DriverVersion": to compare against the "unified driver" (see log) version e.g. "123.45.2" "==123.45" "<123.45", comparison operators: == != > < >= <=
; "Reason": string used to document the reason for denying the driver, could be shown to the user
; comment above each deny list entry: more details about the problem, potential workarounds
