Setting WGPU backend without using env variables

[ThomasAlban]

I'm having the same issue as mentioned in #8395 but my organisation does not allow me to set environment variables, so is there any other way I can set the WGPU backend? Thanks

Could you provide more info on your setup?

I assume you are on powershell on Windows. Check this stack overflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1420719/powershell-setting-an-environment-variable-for-a-single-command-only. Does any of the answer helps you? My Windows knowledge is a bit dated, so I can't give you more precise details.

But setting environment variables should be local to a shell session (I know, it's counter-intuitive), which means there shouldn't be extra permissions needed to set them.

You can use WgpuSettings::backends https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/render/settings/struct.WgpuSettings.html#structfield.backends

You can set it using WgpuSettings.backends on the RenderPlugin. https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/render/settings/struct.WgpuSettings.html
