After a software update, VS2022 stopped working correctly. When I hit a break point, I don’t get any local variables and their values, instead I get a “wait…” label that looks like a button, and also VS is growing in memory size until it crashes my Windows, or I either stop the debugging or VS itself.
So far I get the best results by using x64dbg, but it has it’s own issues, namely that almost all guides only discuss its reverse engineering capabilities, and I need a development tool, so I don’t have to rely on printing to the console as debugging, which has a lot of issues (leaving in the print commands, etc). I’m programming in D, but it should work with any other debugger made for C, and up until recently I used VS for that purpose.
A simple downgrade solved the issue, but regardless of that I’ll try to look into some alternatives, especially since VS has licensing issues, which is fine for me as I use it for open source projects, but might not be fine for others who would use it for closed source projects, and I made my open source engine in a way it allows for be used in closed source projects.
