SFML Debug Time Takes 40 Seconds To Open
« on: July 24, 2018, 10:15:07 pm »
 Hello :)

I've recently ran into an issue with SFML where debugging (on visual studio 2017) consistently takes 40 seconds. Debugging was working fine, then abruptly it began taking exactly 40 seconds to load the window. The console application loads immediately, but then the SFML window takes 40 seconds.

I created a new project to see if the same issue occurred, and it did

Here's the only code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

Loading debug symbols does take time. Have you activated to download Windows debug symbols? That can take quite a while as well.

Thanks for the reply
So if I download them it'll fix it? How do I download them?

Just tried that. Issue still occurs

Does it help knowing that it's exactly 40 seconds each debug session?

Use VS Diagnostic tool to try find out what takes so long?
