Inside engine VS fails to show pointer content - as if it does not know anything about this type
Meanwhile in some other places it works as expected
I tries Debug build - result is the same
With launcher build I didn’t notice anithing like this
Does anyone know how to fix it?
You mean the pointer in debugger doesn’t have drop down arrow?
I would do a clean rebuild and load engine symbols when debugging. that should work and give debugger needed information.
This was the first thing I tryed. It didn’t worked
Looks like VS2019 bug
My post Visual Studio Feedback
Same problem here!
some symbols display normally, but some others do not. Even they are in the same dll, pdb.
For attached image, AGameModeBase can’t see the content on the watch window, but AGameMode can see it.

Please note that UE4 is built with msvc toolsset from VS 2017, therefore the the symbols do not match your msvc version meaning some of the information could be incorrect, or missing.
To fix the issue either use msvc toolset from VS2017 or build the engine from source with VS 2019.
oh! thanks!
unreal engine is clean and build with full source code with visual studio 2019

Yes you are using latest msvc from VS 2019 obviously as you can see from the output window, but engine libraries were built with VS 2017. there is no official prebuilt engine for VS 2019. but that doesn’t mean you can’t use VS 2019 with the built libs. symbols will in 95% of cases work just fine.
