I have dx11 app which drops performance on win7 when linked with steam.dll.



App hangs in dx11.device->CreateDeferredContext for ~8ms in ~75% frames in main thread.



No such issue in app built without steam. Also cannot reproduce on win10.



I suspect that Steam hooks DirectX calls and does something to them, like adding additional synchronization or something.



Any help is appreciated.



App info:



  • 32 bit app built on Windows 10 with visual studio 2017 (version 15.4.5)

  • command buffers with deferred context are created each frame (hang is there)

  • Swapchain present mode for Windows 7: DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_SEQUENTIAL with VSync

Problem environment:



  • Lenovo laptop with Windows 7

  • NVidia GeForce 840m with 378.66 driver

  • DirectX feature level 11.0

  • Disabling "steam overlay" in steam client settings doesn't help

  • GPU frame time according to performance queries is low (~5ms)
