Sorry for the silly question, but when I first started the game I choose 3dfx, and I would like to try Direct3d or Glide to see how they differ, but I can't access that window anymore. Tried looking through advenced settings, but no luck.
Any ideas how to get there, other then reinstalling the game?
Thanks!

A quick and dirty workaround (until that's hopefully fixed):

Go into the systems subdirectory (where all the executables for WoT itself and the wrappers are located), sort by "date modified" and depending on ascending or descending order there should be a bunch of LOG and INI files on top or at the bottom respectively.
One of those LOG and INI files contains information in regards to that initial choice of which wrapper (nGlide, DirectX/Direct3D/software Rendering) you have decided to go with. Hadn't the time to pinpoint exactly the file (or files) so I just axed all of them (and made sure that it's only LOG and INI files I'm deleting). Upon starting the WoT.exe the next time it brought up the wrapper selection window again.

I will try this out. Thank You Swedrami!

If you installed using GOG Galaxy, to the right of the "Play" icon is an icon that looks like two sliders, where the upper slider is positioned slightly to the left relative to the lower slider. Click on that icon and mouse-over to the "additional executables" menu and select "video setup." This allows you to select your graphics options.

Thank you, for the help!
I have since found that editing the WoT.ini I can change the renderer, play around with settings, setting FOV higher etc. :)
