I recently updated my DirectX 11 (C++) application for dual-monitor, dual-window support. Ever since then, when I try to debug any pixel in the PIX debugger, I get the following error:

A call that previously succeeded failed during playback:

EID: 1375 
Call: IDXGIFactory::CreateSwapChain() 
HRESULT: DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL

For more information click 'Help'.

I am no longer using D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain, but instead using D3D11CreateDevice and then CreateSwapChain to create separate swap chains for each of two windows (one per monitor). I used the SDK sample MultiMon10 as a reference when making my changes, however I can still debug pixels without error when running the MultiMon10 sample project through PIX. So it can't just be a matter of "CreateSwapChain" not being PIX-friendly.

Any ideas what could be causing this error? Debugging pixels and stepping through shaders has helped me out a lot in the past and I'd hate to lose that capability.

  • Sorry, I never did find a solution. I have since been using nVidia's NSight for graphics debugging. It is nice, but you need two computers to use it - one for running the debugger, and the other for running the software. This is because it allows real-time debugging of code running on your GPU, so it halts the GPU (and hence, the display) of the computer running the software. – Tim Coolman Nov 30 '12 at 20:47

Seems like I am hitting the same problem. It also happens with Visual Studio 2012 Graphics Debug. Must be something with CreateSwapChain in DX Debug mode.

I've been using Intel's GPA tool instead to workaround this issue. I find it very useful. It can be used to debug on the same machine or through a client/server model.
