GraphicsApiValidation.IsValidationRequested

Returns

bool true if validation was requested; otherwise false.

Description

Returns whether graphics API validation was requested via a backend-specific command line argument (for example, -force-d3d12-debug-as-errors on Direct3D 12).

A return value of true doesn't guarantee that validation is actually running. Use GraphicsApiValidation.IsValidationActive to confirm the debug layer initialized successfully.

        if (GraphicsApiValidation.IsValidationRequested() && !GraphicsApiValidation.IsValidationActive())
            Debug.LogWarning("Graphics API validation was requested but the debug layer failed to initialize.");
    }
