Attaching VsCode to 3dsMax 2020 - Timeout Error while Attaching to process

[johne9RN66]

Hi,

I'm trying to debug my python tool using VsCode by attaching it to the 3ds Max Process but it seems that it doesn't work anymore, it always gives me a timed out waiting for error

What are your steps to connect VSCode to 3ds Max?

It just simply attaching to a process id then looking for 3dsmax.exe but we managed to find the solution, it's because the vscode-python extension already dropped support for python2 which is used by 3ds max 2020 which I was using.

So I just rolled back to this version v2021.12.1559732655 (but I tried on another PC the first version that was released this year-2022)
