Hello, I have a huge problem. I can't run my program in Debug, I use the D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG when I want to initialize DX 11. However, it works in Release mode. I tried toreinstall the DirectX SDK but it's not successfull Yesterday everything was working fine and not today The source code that initialize DX 11: UINT createDeviceFlags = 0; #if defined(DEBUG) || defined(_DEBUG) createDeviceFlags |= D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG; #endif D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL featureLevel; HRESULT hr = D3D11CreateDevice( 0, // default adapter md3dDriverType, 0, // no software device createDeviceFlags, 0, 0, // default feature level array D3D11_SDK_VERSION, &md3dDevice, &featureLevel, &md3dImmediateContext); if( FAILED(hr) ) { MessageBox(0, L"D3D11CreateDevice Failed.", 0, 0); DXTrace( __FILE__, __LINE__, hr, DXGetErrorDescription(hr), FALSE ); return false; } These are the information I get: First-chance exception at 0x7751c41f in SpinningCube.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: _com_error at memory location 0x0031ec88.. An undetermined error occurred hr=E_FAIL (0x80004005) Thanks in advance !

Can't you flex your MVP muscle, MJP? Make them change their mind? Haha.

Yeah I think it's a really poor move on their part. This means that if you want a free graphics debugging tool you'll have to stick to Nsight and GPU PerfStudio.

There is also Intel GPA

Microsoft's decisions lately have generally left me feeling disappointed... They look eager to rid themselves of "freeloading" developers despite their products being a positive thing for the platform. I knew the moment Microsoft tried to get rid of the proper Express editions where we were heading.

If the former is true, then that's really unfortunate for the large number of indie game devs that can't afford it.

Yeah that's really disappointing.

If you're strapped for cash, you can actually buy a professional version of an older VS version such as 2008 for very cheap, but the latest version always costs a kidney!

It seems that Microsoft is determined on making the lives of indie developers/students a lot harder... First they stop supporting XNA and now this, I'm pretty sure developing for the next XBox will be close to impossible for indies, let's hope the PS4 will be more indie friendly.

I'm just glad my University provides Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate licenses for free to all students.

MJP wasn't at the summit this year. But the rest of us gave the feedback to them that the VS tools provided need to be in the free version (and also not hidden under the C++ parts of Visual Studio). They did seem to hear the message but I have no idea how fast they can react even if they agree with it.

I have tried nSIght and GPU PerfStudio 2.0 as well as Pix. Each application crashes upon startup now. They worked fine prior to the update that we are discussing. Does nSight or any of the other applications run for anyone who has done the update? if so, have you done anything besides installing the Windows 8 SDK.

I am using windows 7 and visual studio 2010

thanks much
