Regarding Visual Studio 2015


Recommended Posts

Posted

Visual Studio 2015 will have issues compiling older code due to it using a completely new CRT (C runtime library). This means that any .libs that you have used will have to be recompiled from scratch. I strongly advise against using it unless you're an advanced user/OpenJK and co. release new windows libraries for it. That is all.

@@DT85, this could be related to the random crashes I experience using the DF2 recompile of OpenJK using 2015.

 

Someone tell me how to generate a crash log and I'll post it here since it's the only known version atm to have been compiled with VS 2015.

For the record; from Windows Vista onwards, you can create a dump file for any process from the Task Manager. Right click on a process in the list and click Create Dump File. It'll take a while to generate, but after it's done it'll show you where it's saved.

 

Dump files can be used to debug the state of the process in Visual Studio as it was when it was running. They're much more useful if you have the .pdb files for the game EXEs and DLLs there too.
