TGEA 1.0.2 Hang after breakpoint...

by James Laker (BurNinG) · in Torsion · 03/18/2008 (4:36 am) · 4 replies

I'm still unable to debug using Torsion unfortunalety

I've added the fix at www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=66290 but wasnt so lucky.

Is there anything else I should've changed or applied?

Specifically what behavior are you seeing? Please give as much detail as you can about the steps your taking to reproduct it.

A couple of quick thoughts...

1. Try disabling any firewall software you have running.
2. Launch your game outside of Torsion, enter dbgSetParameters( 6060, password, true ) into the console, then use Torsion->Debug->Connect to start debugging. Does the problem still persist?
3. Launch your game in the VC++ debugger, connect same as above, when the hang occurs break in the VC++ debugger. Where the engine hung?

When I try to debug the TGEA screen is always in front, so I can never see what's happening in the background. So thats the problem. Any solution to that except for always running in Windowed mode?

I highly recommend debugging in windowed mode.

I cannot say that i've ever tested Torsion taking any Torque engine out of fullscreen on a breakpoint. I would expect that it wouldn't work. In fact even VC++ doesn't do this AFAIK... try setting a breakpoint in VC++ and running your game in fullscreen.
