Hi Ben- Are you on SP1 of VS 2005? If not then I suggest you install it since I saw this in the SP1 release notes:
Debugging on 64-Bit Windows installations: Visual Studio 2005 SP1 contains several debugger fixes that work when you debug 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows installations. Only a subset of these fixes work when you debug 64-bit applications on 64-bit installations. This is because Visual Studio 2005 SP1 does not change many of the 64-bit debugging components. If this problem doesn't exist run running VS 2005 under other versions of Windows then I'd say that the issue has to be a general problem involving VS 2005, 32-bit apps, and 64-bit Vista. Steam runs OK for you under 64-bit Vista outside of this problem with the debugger, right? -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Everett Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 1:17 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Crashing on Debug Also, one thing I can add is that I can attach to the hl2.exe process once a game has been created (in a map)... but cannot until that happens.
