The process appears to be completely different now.

1. Near the beginning of your code change 

   [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]

   to

   [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]

2. Add the following to the beginning of the OnStart() function 

   var result = System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
   
               if (result is false)
               {
                   Print("Debugger launch failed.");
               }

3. Build you cBot
4. You don't need to attach the process anymore. When you run the bot, or run a backtest in cTrader, you'll get a popup appear asking which instance of the debugger you want to attach the process to. The top one should be your cBot code, the second option will be a new VS instance. Pick your cBot.

Your breakpoints should now be hit.

Once done with debugging you can either reverse step 1 or comment out step 2. Personally, I prefer the old version but this is probably a change that came with .NET6 rather than a change that Spotware made.
