Game freezes when attach (no signal)

[thirder37]

I'm trying to attach to "The Finals" game, but the game freezes. There are no messages in the console about receiving a signal, and in the GUI there is no text STOPPED next to the process name. The F3 key doesn't help either.
I'm running on Ubuntu

That's interesting, I can think of a few scenarios:

• Are there any exceptions thrown into the console? Maybe PINCE is encountering an error and can't recover properly
• Does the game run with proton/wine? We've got a related issue Issues with proton/wine games #238
• A little less likely but maybe GDB is producing an unexpected output, can you enable GDB logging via settings and post the GDB log? It can be accessed in Memory Viewer->View->GDB Log File

1,3) There seem to be no errors, I am attaching a link to the logs, please look at https://pastes.dev/ZUiegCBkUd
2) The game is launched via steam using Proton Experemental

Yep, that's the problem. GDB has issues with proton/wine games and that reflects on PINCE too. I'll be closing this as a duplicate of #238

PINCE works better with native targets, you can use scanmem for searching memory as an alternative

Duplicate of #238, closing

when I use scanmem after scanning the game closes because it detects the scan

[korcankaraokcu]

Yeah because scanmem uses ptrace by default, you have to disable the ptrace option of it. Also, I've noticed that the game you're working on is a multiplayer game. The game will obviously try to deploy protection measures. Unfortunately, this is only as far as I can go with helping. You'll have to figure out the rest by yourself for legal reasons
