Build stops responding when building a project that uses DirectX11 graphics API

--

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “repro-project“
2. Make sure the project uses DirectX11 graphics API
3. Build And Run the "LUMINA v1.5 - SMOOTH NORMALS ROOM DETAIL OPTIMIZED LOCAL LIGHTS SwapChain Bug" scene

Expected result: The build does not crash or freeze
Actual result: The build stops responding

Reproducible with: 2021.3.17f1, 2022.2.4f1, 2023.1.0a26
Could not test with: 2020.3.44f1 - due to errors in the Console when downgrading the project

Reproduced on: Windows 10 Pro

Notes:
1. Reproducible with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
2. Not reproducible with Vulkan or DirectX12 graphics API

  1. Resolution Note:

    The shaders used an infinite loop in pixel shaders and used an atomic exchange to break out from it. HLSL allow_uav_condition that should enable this are technically only for Compute Shaders. Hence it's undefined behaviour in HLSL. By changing the shaders to have a finite loop iteration count the TDR vanished.

    Having a finite iteration count means the results can sometimes be incorrect. But that's the best one can do with SM5.0 to fully be within the spec.

    Hello All,

    In my case, something that help me to fix the issue was this commnet from a post in the forums:

    "
    After upgrading to Windows 11, I had to go to System->Display->Graphics->Change default graphics settings and TURN OFF "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling". This fixed my swapchain problem.
    "

    https://forum.unity.com/threads/constant-crashes-failed-to-present-d3d11-swapchain-due-to-device-removed.987834/page-3

    Hope it helps you to fix it.

    I can confirm this to be an issue in 2020.3.44f1 as well.
    Developing for VR with Meta Quest 2 connected through Air Link running on an AMD rx480.
    The editor crashed 3 times in the timespan of an hour, with graphics drivers timing out at the same time.

    An update, it seems after i updated my 1050GTX drivers get stuck in some of the most demanding scenes in LUMINA URP and HDRP in DX11. I never had any issues with previous drives in either versions in any scene.

    With DX12 both assets work fine as well.

    I post my new drivers details from DX Diag and Nvidia panels, in case can help.

    471.35 in Nvidia panel and 30.0.14.7135 in DX Diag

    It is also apparent that Nvidia states Run time DX12 and DX Diag also reports DX12 use, thus i assume they have completely abandoned DX11 and thus the issues of random crashes.

    My laptop is a DELL XPS 15 9560, 1050GTX GPU.

    Some extra information

    The issue does not happen in my DELL XPS with 1050GTX GPU laptop when using DX11.
    Also never had a report on this for Unity 2019.

    Our team started seeing these issues with Nvidia driver 528.02 and 528.24, on both Unity 2022.2.2 and Unity 2022.1.24. We stopped seeing the issue when we rolled back to using driver 527.56.
