Finally fixed it. I was doing this:
IInput* input = new CInput;
Whereas I should have been doing this:
static CInput g_Input;
IInput* input = (IInput*)&g_Input;
The project compiles fine without g_Input, so it's presumably accessed
from an engine DLL. Quite why attaching a debugger makes that access
fail in a way that doesn't generate an error is beyond me!
The screen was black because the game was starting up with a
third-person camera (that's handled by IInput for some reason) which
prevented some variables from initialising, and I found the solution
above before working out what was happening to the mouse.
@Olly: IInput also handles usercmds. Our problems may not be
coincidental. ;-)
