Pdxsl paths incorrect in visual studio shader debugger - how to fix?

I’m trying to use the VS graphics debugger but cannot step into the shader code because the pdxsl files cannot be located. VS always wants to look in c:/projects/paradox/… which does not match the path I am using. This is clearly being caused by the #line directives. However, I have tried rebuilding from the sources and can’t seem to change those references. Any ideas? Please see screenshots below.

In the sources, setting EnablePreprocessorLine to false will remove the #line directives:

Thanks for the info. Ideally I would like to be refer to the original pdxsl files, however… any way to accomplish that?

@jmkinzer so you have the repository of Paradox cloned to C:/Projects/Paradox but VS is not able to load it? Could be related to the use of / instead of \ that VS doesn’t like… we will check

Ah no, I actually have Paradox cloned just to c:/Paradox. I couldn’t figure out where the path c:/Projects/Paradox came from… am I required to have it on that path?

No that’s not normal. We will check why there is such a behaviour.
