Recently updated CheatEngine, and since then it keeps .pdb files open, which makes my builds fail.

Is there a way to disable this or to automatically release the pdb when the module it belongs to, is unloaded?

Thanks

once the process is closed it should release the pdb

if not(it's still processing the pdb data) , force open another process with ce to force stop the processing

No way to make it not open the pdb? My module gets loaded/unloaded and I can replace my dll while the program is running, so I would rather not close either the program or CE.

I might have to resort to removing the pdb before opening the process in CE.

rename the pdb or call lua command openProcess(0) before compiling

or attach before the dll is loaded

Ah yeah, it works when I have the DLL unloaded and then attach. Thanks for the suggestions Smile
