GFXD3DDevice::setActiveRenderSurface - cannot have an active render target bound to a texture sampler!
The release exe simply crashes. Nothing particularly useful in the .log file, but the assert that the debug executable throws out may be useful.

Following the steps Jaimi posted I can reproduce this bug. When running the debug .exe you get:Fatal: c:\tse\engine\gfx\d3d\gfxd3ddevice.cpp @820

OK, I checked in a fix for this. It won't actually change the rendering on-the-fly, but at least it won't crash. There is a bunch of setup for each rendering path, so it's more efficient for it not to be able to change in realtime. This shouldn't be much of a problem since neither the end user, or the person editing will need to flip it on and off frequently.
