Hrm. That's less than ideal. Could be some sort of versioning issue. If you go to Visual Studio -> Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio, what do you see? I get:

I think that rather than trying to debug this remotely with you, I should just recommend that modders (yourself included), switch to using Visual Studio Code. VS Code is a sublime-text-like IDE that has nice integrated debugger support, and some friendly Korean game devs appear to have written a decent Lua debugger for it. I've just done some hacking to get their debugger working with SiS, so, (as of r37523) you should be able to just get setup as follows:

Install VS Code.
From your VS Code extensions tab, install the devCAT Lua Debugger.
From your VS Code extensions tab, Install sven2718's openhintvc extension.

Go to File->Open Folder and open your "Lua state" dir.
In the VS Code debug pane, select launch-sis, and hit the green arrow.

Now, if everything is working, the game should start in debug mode, and you should have access to both CTRL+click hotkeys and the ability to set breakpoints / view stack traces.

Let me know if it works

That's pretty awesome, I'm sure it will come in handy

Yeah, I admit, I implemented this mainly because I wanted a better Lua IDE *for myself*

The breakpoint integration doesn't work perfectly -- in particular, it seems like when the Lua you're debugging is being executed in a background thread, you currently need to call 'devcat_break()' explicitly, rather than trusting the IDE's breakpoints to work as advertised. The stack traces are also currently pretty messy, as they include a lot of spam generated by C helper functions.

All that said, it's a usable debug environment -- and once you're halted, you can evaluate arbitrary expressions using the "Watch" pane; which is pretty darn handy.

When I tried to work with the extension suddenly the extension as well as chrome keeps crashing and now even the browser is not opening at all. Please help me to fix the problem.

It's sounding like I should officially retire the Visual Studio 2017 extension. It's still working for me -- but, everyone else appears to have trouble with it. I'd just remove all the files and restart your machine -- I'd imagine that would fix it? In the meantime, the VS Code extensions may prove more useful for debugging/modding. They're talked though here.
