MGD (version 3.5.1.19fd655b) freezes on me when I try to view a frame capture. I can capture the frame, or load a previously saved capture, but when I click on any of the glDrawElements calls in the Trace Outline, MGD freezes. I captured the trace on a non-rooted Galaxy S6 on Android 5.0.2.
I'm on Win10 64 bit, using the 64 bit version of MGD. The trace file is about 13 MB. I increased the -Xmx value from 2000m to 8000m. It doesn't entirely freeze now, but clicking on a glDrawElements causes it to become unresponsive for a few minutes, after which I see the framebuffer in the Framebuffers window, but a message box opens up that has a low memory warning (81 MB remain). I can click around a little bit, but if I go to a new glDrawElements I get more low memory message boxes. mgd.exe is using 1,101,0216K of Private Bytes with a working set of 966,772K, and I have 5.6 GB of free memory. Increasing the -Xmx value doesn't seem to change anything.
Hi cegbert,
Thanks for providing the details. Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce the issue on Windows 10 64-bit.
Is there any chance you can send us the trace file so we can use it to reproduce the problem internally?
Cheers,
Jacek
Sure. Let me know how to send it.
Great! Please send the trace file to mali-tools-support AT arm DOT com
Thanks for the trace file. Unfortunately I still can't reproduce the problem - Mali Graphics Debugger v3.5.1 seems to be working fine with your trace file on my machine with Windows 10 64-bit.
I've raised an internal ticket to track this issue and I'll ask someone to have more detailed look at it.
Regards,
I tried on a different machine with Windows 8.1 and I'm seeing similar results.
Sorry to hear that.
The graphics engine can use hardware to render UI, so could you please let us know what graphics card you are using? Are the latest drivers installed?
Also, please try to add -Dprism.order=sw to mgd.ini to use software renderer - it may help if there are issues with the graphics card drivers.
To make sure Mali Graphics Debugger uses the options set in mgd.ini please open the application and navigate to:
Help -> About Mali Graphics Debugger -> Installation Details button -> Configuration tab
and verify that you can locate the newly set options there.
