NVPerfHUD 4/XNA program crashing

King Harold · Post by **King Harold** » Fri 22 Jun, 2007 4:23 pm

Today I decided to have a look at what a little XNA program of mine is doing with the graphics card, so I made a NVPerfHUD build (it requires a different build since you need a different device) and ran it with NVPerfHUD 4. So far so good, everything worked.. until.. I tried to enable the PerHud: CRASH! It crashed slowly enough (a tenth of a second or so) for me to see a message comming up on the PerfHud before it closed, but not slowly enough for me too read it or hit PrintScreen.
This is not really fatal to my dev-ing my proggy, but it's annoying.
Any tips?

Is anyone going to help or should I just leave this increasingly inactive forum

I think you get the award for most non-threatening threat ever.

This is a calc forum, not an xna forum. Have you tried taking a picture?

I know it's not an XNA forum, which isn't an excuse for the lack of help here, surely someone knows something about XNA.
I've tried to take a picture but I don't have very long to take it, a small fraction of a second, I've tried it many times but I can't get the timing right.

And apparently the 'threat' did have some effect..

edit: about threats, they are just announcements of what you will do under specific circumstances, you can find it "threatening" or not - that's objective. So a threat is always threatening or it wouldn't be a threat at all.

Ehh? Some ones hitting the dictionary today.

Theres probably not anyone *still* here that knows anything about what your doing. Even if they did theres not a lot info present to help.

You could try gamedev.net or the msdn forums, that or video camera.

That almost sounds like a tip..
The reason I asked here is that I've looked all over the internet and there is nothing about NVPerfHUD crashing when activated that I could find. There is how to enable a XNA program for NVPerfHUD but I already knew how to do that and that part of it seems to work.
Who left who knows more? Ben probably know a lot about it (he seems to know a lot about everything) and afaik he's still here..

I'm not around all the time.

I've used XNA, yes, but have never heard of NVPerfHUD (which seems to be where the problem lies) so couldn't possibly comment. I'd try GameDev.net as Jim e suggested.

#gamedev on irc.afternet.org might also be able to help.
