Debugging the DLL for a Steam installation?

[Kailric]

Has anyone had any issues trying to debug a Steam install of Civ4? I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express and after I attach to the Civ4 Process and return back to the game it will crash if I have any break points out. It will also crash if I try to debug a FAssert. It plays just fine, however, if I do not have any break points. Just wondering if anyone has successfully debugged a Steam installed version so I can eliminate whether it is related to the Steam install.

PS I use to have the CD installed version and had no problems debugging but after updating to windows 8 my cd installed version was eventually deleted by the evil windows 8. I can't find my CD atm so I can't test it out.

with CIV5 it works fine. You did clean compile for the debug dll?

As Sephi said, you can attach the debugger to the Civ 5 process to debug your DLL and Steam won't complain. So I doubt that that Steam is the issue.

Thanks for that info, that helps. Unless, Civ 5 was designed to work with Steam and Civ4 wasn't is the only thing.
