RenderDoc is a graphics debugger that captures frames and is presently accessible for Vulkan, D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES development. It can be used on Windows, Linux, Android, and Nintendo Switch™, and is released under the MIT license as open-source software.
If you have any inquiries, feedback, or concerns, you can submit an issue on GitHub, contact me via [email protected], or join the IRC or Discord channels for discussion.
To install RenderDoc on Windows, download the appropriate installer based on your OS (64-bit or 32-bit) or obtain the portable ZIP from the builds page. The 64-bit version of the software can capture frames from 32-bit programs. RenderDoc is only supported on 64-bit x86 Linux, but a precompiled binary tarball is available, and it can be installed via your distribution's package manager. Alternatively, you can build the software from the source code.

Changelog
(v.1.26)
- OpenGL: Pixel history is now supported on OpenGL.
- Vulkan: Improve the heuristic for when to use a GPU readback for reading mapped memory over CPU reads.
- D3D12: Enable that same heuristic that was accidentally disabled in a previous release.
- D3D12: DXIL handling refactored once again, to more closely clone LLVM's codebase and be more reliable at editing/patching.
- All: Fix an issue with thumbnails being stale in some situations.
- All: Fix a crash when a completion modifier like ctrl-space or ctrl-E is used in an edit box with no completion options.
- All: Speculative fix for a race condition with performance counter viewer windows.
- All: Fix RGP captures being unable to trigger remotely.
- All: Fix cumulative calculation of durations for fake profile markers.
- All: Disable Qt behaviour where typing a key in the buffer viewer would try to 'find' that letter, causing large hangs on very large meshes.
- All: Fix a crash in rare cases when showing tooltips for some columns in mesh viewer.
- All: Fix a problem where editing an environment variable modification to have an empty value made it unselectable.
- All: Fix terminology being reversed between D3D and GL/Vulkan for the shader stages in resource usage.
- Linux: Create utility GL contexts as explicitly matching the used API, in case GLES is being used.
- Android: Increase timeout for remote servers starting to 5 seconds because Android is a garbage platform and a tiny program can't start in under a second.
- D3D: Fix an issue with debugging pixel shaders trying to artificially create matching I/O signatures with preceeding stages when SV_PrimitiveID is used.
- D3D: Fix an issue where a missing callstack on the first instruction of debugging could cause step-over/step-into to misbehave.
- D3D12: Fix a crash that can happen when device lost happens during load.
- D3D12: Stop using dxc type annotations as they are broken.
- D3D12: Fix several new DXIL formulations or features.
- D3D12: Don't initialise AMD extensions when AMD driver is detected as loaded, if it's not currently in use.
- D3D12: Fix a problem capturing when a mapped buffer is not used directly but instead aliased with buffers on the same heap that are then used.
- D3D12: Fix missing specified colour formats on internal PSO.
- D3D12: Fix a deadlock if a resource is mapped while a capturing is finishing and cleaning up captured maps.
- Vulkan: Fix a crash when using extension-only defined queue families.
- Vulkan: Fix a crash when external/foreign queue families are used.
- Vulkan: Fix a crash deleting a BDA buffer while another is being created.
- Vulkan: Fix handling of dynamic rendering shading rate attachments.
- Vulkan/GL: Fix handling of stencil-only multisampled textures.
- GLES: Remove unsupported EGL extensions (currently only EGL_KHR_no_config_context) which cannot be supported.
- GL: Work around driver issue on Intel windows by declaring extra extension in internal shaders
- GL: Update window size before processing context activation, to fix an issue with incorrect window size on captures of frame 0.
