DirectX 9, vertex shader constants

Stan_B_ — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 17:40:32 GMT

I am looking at a series of ergs which set vertex shader constants, and I am not sure if GPA is displaying vertex shader constants correctly. For example, in the video below I am looking at 3 ergs in which the constant c7 is set to 0 in the Vertex Shader Constants tab though there is no SetVertexShaderConstantF that modifies that register. Am I missing something?

Hi sbobovyc,

Hi sbobovyc,

Thank you for the incredibly detailed post and video. This will help reproducing what you are seeing.

From your video it does look like there may be an issue. I'll have a developer look at it, I could be missing something as well.

Also, would it be possible to private message me a link to your frame file? It may help the devs out if there does end up being an issue.

Cheers!

Seth

Hi Sbobovyc,

I received your frame file. I'll add it to the defect and let you know what we find.

Thanks!
