To get function names and line numbers for internal CRYENGINE code you'll need to build CRYENGINE from source and generate .pdb files. Make sure to build the engine with the Profile configuration so that .pdb files are generated. The following video gives an overview of how to clone and build the CRYENGINE :
Next, upload all of the .pdb, .dll and .exe files in the bin folder using . Make sure to note the application name, version and database as you'll need these values later.
To point the CRYENGINE crash reporter at BugSplat you'll need to make a few modifications to the .cryproject file for your project. Open the .cryproject file in a text editor and add the following snippet of JSON:
Make sure to replace {{application}}, {{version}}, and {{database}} with values specific to your game. Note these values must match the values you used when you uploaded symbols for CRYENGINE.
Right-click the .cryproject file for your game and select Launch Game. Once the game has launched, press the ` (backtick) key on your keyboard to display the console. Type ?crash to ensure that all of the variables from the Project Configuration step have been loaded by your game.
To generate a crash report, enter sys_crashrpt_generate into the console:
Navigate back to the crash and notice that the Stack Key is now CrySystem!CXConsole::ExecuteCommand(2427) instead of CrySystem!CCrashHandler::GetExceptionPointers(1566).
By default, building your game should output .pdb files so that minidumps can be debugged by a remote machine. If your build does not output .pdb files, you will need to change the with CMAKE and regenerate the solution.
Symbol files are required to display function names, file names and line numbers of source code in crash reports. Once you've built your project's solution, upload the resulting files in bin using .
After you've submitted a crash report, navigate to the page. Click the link in the ID column to see the details of your crash report. In this case, the last 4 stack frames are all related to the crash report generator, and the frame of interest is the 5th frame of the call stack. Create a by expanding the 5th row in the Active Thread and then click the Create Subkey button.
