there is a dat file in the data section of the toribash 3.1 directory that wasnt there on previous versions, i am just durious about what it does.

edit:I think i just realised its something to do with my graphics card not being able to handle shaders. Oh well, you can still talk about it if you want to

Lol at the end it's like PHAIL!
But yea I was wondering what this was also.

Yep, that's what it looks like to me. It's your hardware specs; will probably help when solving shader problems.

It is for shader trouble shooting. If your shaders fail to load it will create this file and send it to the game server when you join.
