Nsight Graphics cannot connect to .exe file

Good morning,

I’m developing simple graphics application in Vulkan API. One of the steps I wanted to take was using Nsight Graphics 2023.4.1 to capture and analyze frame but while launching the tool, I encountered this error. I made sure to turn on antivirus and launch NSight Graphics as administrator.

As my app is messy I also tried to launch other .exe but always end up with the same result, also on. Similar story with version 2024.1.0.

My Setup:
OS: Windows 11
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-1235U 1.30 GHz
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics

Hi karollo343,

Thanks for using Nsight Graphics and providing us your feedback. Your screen shot looks unusual, the first one comes from Nsight Graphics, the second one comes from Nsight Compute. These two are different software.

To ensure your target system is properly set up, could you try to launch a simple bundled app within Nsight Graphics? Click: Help → Samples → vk_raytrace, and launch the bundled app. If it works, the issue likely isn’t with your system configuration. To identify the problem, could you please provide a simple example that would allow us to reproduce the issue? This will help us in investigating and resolving the problem more efficiently.

If you also have some questions about Nsight Compute, could you please share your feedback to the corresponding topic?

Thanks
An

Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried to run vk_raytrace like in provided instruction. In response I got the following error:

Crash Information:
Reason: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ
Address: 0x0
Assertion: Unknown assertion type 0x00000000

At this point I’m almost sure it’s an issue with system configuration.

Hi karollo343,

Maybe you can try the bundled sample on another machine? That will help you isolate the issue quickly.

Thanks
