I can never seem to find pointers for some reason. Take the game Stardew Valley as an example, I always end up with 20 or less "THREADSTACK0"s that stop working after a while.

There are games where mulilevel pointers just do not work.

Those games are using: Lua engine or made with .NET, Mono, Microsoft XNA, GameMaker, ...

Ah, yeah I just googled it and it seems it was partly made with XNA or something like that so maybe thats why.

Sidenote, the pointers I had in my addresslist just started working again for some reason, super weird. When I first turned on my PC and attached CE to the game none of them worked at all.

Some pointers may work from time to time...

Mulilevel pointers should work for games with unmanaged code. Mainly older games; before ~2010.

Quick google search for you:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3563870/difference-between-managed-and-unmanaged

Also, some games can be mixed: have managed and unmanaged code at the same time.

Other games, such as "Tomb Raider (2013)" or "Rise of the Tomb Raider" can use more complicated structures to keep even basic character parameters (health, ammo, EXP).

edit: typo

I had no idea managed and unmanaged code was a thing. I mostly just mess around with CE when i'm bored. Knowing that should definitely help thanks lol.
