*) How to use the "Switch" button/keybinding:
e.g. maybe in order to have more FPS while raiding you want to reduce some graphics settings.
So you hit the button once. Now your current settings are saved and you have switched to a second setting.
Please note: The screen may flicker during this GX Restart.
Now you could reduce screen resolution, visibly range, effects or go to fullscreen mode etc. pp. and have more FPS.
When your raid is over you would like to switch back to your previous high quality settings.
Simply hit the switch button again and all your previous settings are restored.
You may bind a key for this too.
That's it.

Originally posted by borbies The error is generating from a description, and can easily be fixed by going into your local (for most of us that would be enUS.lua) and changing this:

TWEAKWOW_PROCESSAFFINITYMASK_DESCRIPTION = ""
So, remove all the words in the quotation marks.
I reinstalled TweakWoW after deleting its saved variables and then applied your fix. It works perfectly! Thank you so very much! :-)

I'm not able to update this addon because my wow-account is inactive. Sorry for that.
@Xarl
Diese Stelle im Skript hat mit Beschreibungstext beim CPU-Regler zu tun. Eventuell hilfts ja in den Dateien deDE.lua und enUS.lua jeweils die Stelle " ..string.format("%s", GetCVar("coresDetected")).. "
im Text raus zu nehmen. Die Variable mag WoW in dieser Form möglicherweise nicht mehr wies ausschaut..

I've having a problem with my settings reverting to default everytime I login. Seems like it was a 3.3 thing as I didn't have the issue prior to the patch.
>.<
I can't give you any more information as it's not causing a LUA error or anything. It just simply reverts.
just a quick question, is there anyway to know which setting profile i am actually using?
coz i did some setup and press the switch (by keybind), it doesnt seem to have changed anything or saved anything, and i hit the keybind again, everything the same.
It would be nice to have some chat message may be to show whether i am using the "Solo" settings or "Raid" setting.
For me, simply just these two profiles are perfect!!
You should reimplement and modify HorizonFarclip as HorizonFarclipScale, which takes values from 4.00 to 6.00 (The stepping between full integers is pretty big)
Can you please make it so I can lower mouse sensitivity to 0 instead of WoW's default lowest which is 0.5? It's annoying to have to set it to that every time I log in.
As of 3.2, HorizonFarclip has been converted to HorizonFarclipScale.
The locked min and max are 4 and 6
HorizonFarclipScale 6 is equivalent to the previous HorizonFarclip max
TextureCacheSize has been converted to use a value in MB, with the default being 32, and the max (at least on systems with 4gb ram) being 64.
And as of 3.3
The gxApi cvar has a new setting of D3D9EX which, when in use, locks the TextureCacheSize to 0 and replaces it with gxTextureCacheSize, which is defaulted to 0 - auto. (no clue what the max is)
