Xenia: Pleas add primary GPU selection, i can start have on notebook with Optimus Nvidia+Intel.

[ruthan]

Hello,
i copy already worked installation from other machine and tried Windows 7/10 on Core i7 7700 + Geforce 1050 TI machine with Nvidia optimus, i set Nvidia as primary GPu in invidia panel, but im still getting black screen in all games which i tried - Gears 2 / Forza Horizon for example, DX12 / Vulkan.
You should also add some DX12 is not supported on Windows 7 dialog, its trying to start even with this settings, which is not possible, until MS will free DX12 for WIn 7 for everyone..

I tried official and custom builds, lots of versions.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say but xenia should be set up to tell nvidia optimus to use the dedicated GPU always

[randprint]

DX12 won't work in win7 that should be obvious, and gears 2 and forza only work in xenia-canary and as far as I know they are untested with Vulkan

You can change GPU in the config file in documents/xenia with d3d12_adapter.

It already says so on the download page:

It's not our fault some people can't read.

I know that is on download page, its there is no reason why is not make it handled in code.. it cant work. Its simple check if OSversiom==Win7 and DX12 is set.. its easy to spawn Message Box - unsupported configuration detected..

I tried web version and also AlexVS builds, there are working with Gears 2, Gears 3 forza 1+2etc.. i tried Blood Forge too, its able to reach at least menu with web version, but on this machine.. i have always with any setting with build working on other machine, everytime just black screen. With vanilla version Gears should at least reach menu, but again crash and black screen.
RPCS is working fine.. i really thing that is because of Optimus, that is Intel HD 630, intead Geforce 1050 TI used.
Everything is updated to last versions.

I config for DX12 is for example this:
d3d12_adapter = -1 # Index of the DXGI adapter to use. -1 for any physical adapter, -2 for WARP software rendering.

Same with Vulka part:
[Vulkan]
vk_device = -1 # Index of the Vulkan physical device to use. -1 to use any compatible.

How its working even you have 2 GPus in system? Or maybe emulator not even counts with 2 Gpus situation.

[Margen67]

If you're referring to D3D12on7 xenia doesn't support that.
Also, GitHub is not for tech support. Go to our Discord server for that.

I looked into log, problem can be elsewhere (its from Win7):
!> 00000028 LoadLibrary(XAudio2_8.dll) failed
!> 00000028 ResolvePath(ShaderDumpxe:CompareBackEnds) failed - device not found
!> 00000028 ResolvePath(DeviceHarddisk0) failed - device not found

!> 00000028 ResolvePath(DeviceHarddisk0) failed - device not found

I have emulator and images on crypted - Truecrypt / Veracrypt volumes, so far in 10+ years of usage, i havent problem with any WIndows program with it.. Its should be transparent with Windows as any other volume. So i suspect that there would be probably some problem if someone is using Bitlocker.
Im using lots of other emulators, they are fine with crypted volumes.

"Im using lots of other emulators, they are fine with crypted volumes." Xenia is unlike any other emulator.
