Requirements & useful links

This is the text that you need to add to the Chrome shortcut target field to run it in debug mode (delete the existing contents beforehand):

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c “SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe^ –disable-gpu-sandbox –gpu-startup-dialog

If your Chrome is installed in a different location to the one above you may need to go in and change parts of this text.
