apitrace VS d3d8to9

You have several tools, this can be done by printing debug messages using extensions such as KHR_debug, or using specific tools which will inject themselves between your OpenGL calls and your driver such as apitrace or RenderDoc. I recommend running your program in RenderDoc regularly even if everything seems to work fine as it may help you catch some subtle bugs.

That said, the profiling situation for non-NV users is not completely hopeless. You can still use API timer queries to get an idea of how long events take on the device. Tracy also supports GPU profiling, but I suspect it's just a fancy way of inserting timer queries. apitrace also claims to support profiling OpenGL apps, but I'd be wary of overhead as it's doing a lot of other things besides profiling.

At first I thought Feral probably used it accidentally, but this thread about the symbol's use in apitrace seems to shed some light:

I don't see anything wrong with your code, altough I'm not familiar with Avalonia or Silk. I suggest you try to use apitrace for (a probably long and painful day) debugging it.

I get that it's hard to debug without direct access, but isn't there some dump or log that they could generate and provide? Maybe something like using apitrace?

Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer @pepp · 6 months ago Developer https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/blob/master/docs/USAGE.markdown is the basic doc. For Steam games I usually go to the game's folder (probably $HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Indivisible) and try to run the game with apitrace (apitrace trace indivisible-executable). It should print a line to indicate where the trace file is written to (apitrace: tracing to somefile.trace.

So Blood Omen 2 runs fine when i use the d3d8.dll from, this link https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases and fixes my menu issues/freezing on Windows 10. But i also wanted to try the Conceptual edition mod which comes with its version of the Revamped d3d8.dll which upon launch of the game always crashes it. Any suggestions, I can play Vanilla fine now but i really wanted to try the mod . There is a substantial size difference between the two dll files if that helps. I wondered if i can merge them ?

Occasionally, you can get directx8 games to work using d3d8to9, and rarely a game uses shader model 2/3 but can still run. Those sorts of games are definitely exceptions, though.

You can get wrapper here

This one: https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9

I have been working on RTX Remix integration in Freelancer for a bit, the problem is that you need to use a wrapper such as https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases to convert all calls to DirectX9.

/u/mainmeal5 /u/MCMFG have you guys tried this: https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9 ?

I found a fix! Download this https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases/tag/v1.11.0 and paste the file in the game directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia\Mafia). Game will run on dedicated GPU even if the game settings still show the integrated graphics.

You are welcome. Consider using d3d8to9 and other patches for a better experience.
