Problems with using the new chaos visual debugger

[HYF_Perfect]

My game has a dedicated server with a public IP address. On the client program, I run p.Chaos.StartVDRecording Server IPAddress, and the message in the upper left corner indicates that CVD has started recording. Next, in the CVD, I click the “Connect to Session” button, enter the IP address in the trace store address field of the pop-up window, and press Enter. However, at this point, my CVD becomes unresponsive and is unable to retrieve the live session.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have. Thank you very much for your time!

The IP argument needs to be the one where the editor (and by extension the trace server) is running, which in this case should be your PC or workstation. The console command needs to be executed in the application itself. If you want to record a dedica…

If you have any other question or issues with CVD, just let me know
