Perf Markers are white on white

Development Tools Nsight Visual Studio Edition
#1

In the Scrubber window, the perf markers are not visible because they are white on white background. While the profiler is initialized, the Scrubber window is a bit grayed out and at that time I can distinguish that the markers are there but it is still hard to see and just during the profiler is initializing.

Is there a known reason for that? A VS customization setting somewhere? A strange thing is that for the Scaleform part of the frame, perf markers are visible the right way

For example: “Scaleform::Render::HAL::BeginFrame” is visible on a black bar. Everything that is not Scaleform are missing black bars so the white text is not visible.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi fpageau,

I just have a similar reproduce here, seems you are using some invalid color parameter for the perfmarker APIs, like the ‘0’ below.

D3DPERF_BeginEvent(0, L"MuHaHa");
pd3dImmediateContext->Draw( ARRAYSIZE(g_MobiusStrip), 0 );
D3DPERF_EndEvent();

Maybe you can set the perfmarker APIs’ color to this:

D3DPERF_BeginEvent(D3DCOLOR_COLORVALUE(1, 0, 0, 1), L"MuHaHa");
pd3dImmediateContext->Draw( ARRAYSIZE(g_MobiusStrip), 0 );
D3DPERF_EndEvent();

Then you can see the red bar in the Scrubber window.

Hope this helpful, ;)
