Issue with renderdoc capture from Chapter 11 #52

Closed omd24 closed 4 months ago

omd24 commented 4 months ago

I'm trying to take a capture using renderdoc latest version (1.31) from Chapter11 demo but renderdoc fails to launch the application on startup (previous chapters worked fine). Not sure if this is due to some validation layer errors or something is wrong on my pc. Can someone else also test this to see if renderdoc can launch that specific chapter demo? Also I appreciate if someone provides an alternative way to study frame. I tried Nsight but it doesn't show the UAV contents which I'm looking for.

IIRC I had issues running RenderDoc as well when we introduced mesh shaders. I don't remember the chapter we introduced them. Ray tracing might also cause issues. We didn't report this, but it could also be an issue on our side. Unfortunately RenderDoc sometimes fails silently when it fails to create an instance or device, so you might need to build a debug version to understand what's going wrong.

For this reason I used Nsight for the remainder of the book and it usually worked fine for me, even with bindless. Some resources are named to help you identify them. However the Nsight version I used is more than a year old, I haven't tested with newer versions.
