RenderDoc cannot capture the application #25

Closed omd24 closed 1 year ago

omd24 commented 1 year ago

Not sure if this is a RenderDoc bug or an issue with how vulkan is set up but just trying to take a capture of chapter 2 demo with RenderDoc and it seems it cannot figure out the api. The status window says "Connection Established" and runs the app properly but under the "API" field says "None". As a result the F12 to take captures doesn't work. Also there is no renderdoc overlay on the demo window.

Interesting, we did have some issue with RenderDoc once we started using mesh shaders, but chapter 2 should work. For Vulkan, the first time you launch RenderDoc you have to register the RenderDoc layer. There should be a message in RenderDoc that asks you to register the layer. I will also try on my machine to make sure it still works on my end.

Not sure what was the issue but reinstalling the RenderDoc did the trick ¯_(ツ)_/¯
