Assertion failure when I run an exe directly but it works in Visual Studio
If you are running the exe from the Debug or Release directory then your game probably can't find your resource files. Each Visual Studio project has a "Working Directory" property (Project -> Properties -> Debugging
), which is usually set to the base directory of your project $(ProjectDir)
. An easy solution would be to copy your exe to your base directory.
For example: Copy GamePlay\samples\mesh\Debug\sample-mesh.exe
to GamePlay\samples\mesh\
