I've used pointer scans for a long time and never had any trouble with them, but just recently it has completely and totally stopped working. Whenever I try to scan, it creates the pointer map and then idles infinitely. All threads have the status "Sleeping" and it always returns 0 results. It creates pointer files, but they're all blank. I have tried reinstalling Cheat Engine and resetting all settings, but nothing works. Any suggestions for how to make it work again?

make sure the output path contains ascii characters only

not sure what causes the freeze. can you upload the pointermap somewhere (generate pointermap or the one you generate on pause) and tell us the address you're looking for (so i can recreate your scan)

I figured it out. The external drive I use for my pointer scans had filled up so Cheat Engine was waiting indefinitely for more space to create the scans. I wiped it and it's working normally again. Thanks anyway!
