Switch from OpenGL to software for chaotic edition

I've dealt with this exact issue before, SRB2 is unable to swap renderer's on the fly sometimes. When you change it in the menu, you just have to close the game and restart it and it should be in the other rendering mode. If this doesn't work, you'll have to delete config.cfg to force it to launch in software though.

You should just be able to press F10 (in OpenGL), and then press F11 twice to switch to Software.
F10 toggles the renderer and F11 toggles windowed mode.
This issue does not occur when in windowed mode, so the method I mentioned makes use of that.
Another thing is that you can go from Software to OpenGL without having to do anything funky. I don’t know why the graphics don’t freeze when changing to OpenGL but do when changing to Software, but it’s just how things are.

Yup; A longlasting bug is that, whenever you go from OpenGL to Software in fullscreen, the screen freezes (the game works fine apart from that) until you refresh the screen (as said by Jammin', by pressing F11 to go to windowed mode)

The game just straight-up crashes if you switch renderers with models turned on (Not that i would know from experience of anything

No it doesn't, at least not on my end.
That's a bug on your end.
