Where are the arguments to this D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapchain call stored in x64?

Question

I have been trying to reverse a singleplayer x64 game to learn about reversing games. My problem is that I am trying to trace the arguments from a D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapchain call and as far as I know the first 4 arguments should be stored in the registers rcx, rdx, r8 and r9 and the rest should be pushed to the stack ontop of the shadow area of the stack.

Looking at the assembly I am posting below from IDA, it only pushes something far beyond the shadow area and the data does not seem to have anything to do with the call at all. So im wondering if DirectX calls are different somehow? Or am I simply just looking in the wrong place?

Answer 1

The API D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain function in question takes 12 arguments
From your disassembly find out what var_1c0 etc is defined as ( i would presume it is -0x1c0 )

so (218 + (-0x1c0 and so on it would be ) = 58 , 50 , 48 , 40 , 38, 30 ,28 ,20,r9,r8,rdx,rcx) etc etc

you can see pub const D3D11_SDK_VERSION: DWORD = 7 at 1e8 = (218-1e8)/8 = 30 which is the 7th argument according to the documentation

HRESULT D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain(
  _In_opt_        IDXGIAdapter         *pAdapter,  ==== rcx
                  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE      DriverType,  ==== rdx

                  UINT                 FeatureLevels,   ===== 1f0 == 28
                  UINT                 SDKVersion, <<<<<< == 7 ===1e8 == 30

);
