From your broker.
It it possible to get older versions from MetaQuotes?
It it possible to get older versions from MetaQuotes?
No.
But there is a user proving them on a Telegram channel. (I don't have the link sorry).
I'm having a similar problem with variables not reliably updating in the debug window and an issue with breakpoints disappearing. It appears the variables have the correct data, but the variables are not updating in the Watch List as verified by printing variables to the Journal. I'm running v5 build 4481 dated 14 AUG 2024 on Windows 11, but have experienced the issues over the past several builds over the last few weeks. I've tried MT5 installs from several sources and all update to the most current version.
To demonstrate I created two integer variables (i, j) and a while loop that prints each variable in the Journal and increments each variable by 1. I added breakpoints at each line. The attached files show the progression of the debugger through the section of code. Below I'll annotate the observations in each image attached:
1. This is the code with breakpoints set at each line before starting the debugger.
2. Is the same code once the debugger starts. Note that a few of the breakpoints disappear.
3. The i variable is updated but the update is not reflected in the Watch List in the lower right.
4a. Debugger enters the while loop.
4b. Journal correctly showing the correct variable status.
5. After completing first pass of while loop. Variables not updated in the Watch List in the lower right.
6a. Debugger after 2nd pass, but variable states not reflected in the Watch List in the lower right.
6b. Journal correctly showing the correct variable states for the same step as 6a.
7a. Debugger after several passes through while loop, but variable states not reflected in the Watch List in the lower right.
7b. Journal correctly showing the correct variable states for the same step as 7a.
8a. Debugger correctly updates both variables in the Watch List after existing the while loop and after the first Print step.
8b. Journal correctly showing the correct variable states for the same step as 8b.
9a. Debugger correctly showing similar states as 8a just after the final Print statement.
9b. Journal correctly showing the correct variable states for the same step as 9a.
Appreciate insights, recommendations, an improved build, or links to stable builds that don't update to the most current versions.
The developers are perfectly aware about it.
It has been repeated thousands of time that you should not use a beta version if you don't want to deal with additional bugs.
Download and install MT5 from your broker, not from MetaQuotes.

I'm in the same situation as you.
