Known Issues and Limitations

2024.3

Intel® GPA Framework has been released for Direct3D 12. Vulkan and Direct3D 11 support is released as Beta, and is subject to change.
Performing a subcapture of any Vulkan stream by the subcapture tool is not supported. This will be addressed in a future release.
When using the screenshot layer, if a large number of screenshots are requested in close frame-intervals (every or every other frame) it is suggested to use the async=false layer flag to prevent unusually high memory consumption and out of memory errors. This may result in a slight decrease in performance since screenshot cut and writing will be not run in async processes.
Frame 0 or the setup frame cannot currently be specified as a repeat frame in gpa-player’s range repeat functionality.
Subcapture functionality only supports Direct3D 12 at this time.
GPA CPP Generator does not support source-level generation of calls beyond the last frame delimiter in a stream.
User input for restore points and deferred stream capture may not be registered in certain applications. Please use time-interval restore points and capture layer parameters for deferred stream capture if user input fails.
At present, the Intel® GPA Framework contains only Release builds (no debug builds of libraries).
The capture layer supports only 64-bit applications. However, the injection mechanism will work with 32-bit processes for the purpose of allowing the capture of applications that require 32-bit launchers.
A modification of shaders in HLSL representation can cause the gpa-player to crash if the original shader representation was different from HLSL (Vulkan).
Support is not provided yet for collecting query-based metrics from Vulkan transfer queues. When used, they are ignored by the MetricsExtractor when the graphics API pipeline statistics based query managers are used, but are accepted by the Intel Hardware Metrics Discovery library query manager which may return metrics results. No validation of such results has occurred.
Crashes have been observered in some DXR/DXIL shader profiling scenarios, and the data obtained has had a zero duration.
Deferred and Continuous capture/playback of Unreal 5.1+ titles using raytracing may show visual corruption.
Link errors occur with use of the gpa-cpp-generator generated gpa-cpp/CMakeList.txt. To work around this limitation, replace '${GPA_FRAMEWORK_LIBS}' in that file with '${GPA_FRAMEWORK_LIBS} $ENV{INTEL_GPA_FRAMEWORK}/lib/*'.
Playback of titles using XeSS with PSO filtering disabled (by supplying --disable-pso-filtering argument to gpa-player) will produce black or corrupted final framebuffers.

The gpa-metrics-collector tool will write the wrong GPU identification details in the generated metadata file (*.metadata.txt) when the platform has multiple GPUs, the GPU to use is specified using the new vendor/device id options, and the associated GPU index is not 0 (the default GPU). This will be fixed in a future release.
