I'm not running Steam as Administrator (as I'm attempting to keep all programs under regular User-land priveleges to assist with debugging). VS2005 has to run as Administrator, so that is the only application running as administrator. It could be that launching HL2 is giving it Administrator privileges due to inheritance, and Steam.exe is wigging out when that happens.

Another thing I have read about is running Steam as an adminsitrator in Vista. Are you doing that with Steam and VS 2005? You may want to do the same with hl2.exe in case there is some sort of inheritance going on. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Everett Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 10:14 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Crashing on Debug Mike, Yup SP1 for VS2005 is installed, as well as the SP1 VS2005 Vista x64 patch. Steam runs great outside of the debugger for the most part. Only a few quirks here and there, primarily when Steam patches itself and restarts... sometimes it will crash or won't restart... re-run Steam and it's fine. I get no UAC prompts ever when running Steam, so that's good... although I don't have it installed inside of Program Files so that could also be part of the reason why. The only time Steam consistently crashes is when I attempt to run HL2 and debug at the same time. As I said, I can get inside of a map just fine and then attach the debugger. Outside of that if I attempt to debug Steam and HL2 will just lock up and then Steam will crash (it seems to be when it is loading the cache files). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Durand Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 3:59 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Crashing on Debug 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. Otherwise steam.exe will crash. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony "omega" Sergi Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 2:30 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Crashing on Debug -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] you added -allowdebug on your command line from the debugger?
