I downloaded Cheat Engine 6.4 so I could use it on Dark Souls 2. I even downloaded some CT file for it from here. I have no idea what I am doing. I tried the tutorial that came with it until like step 2 or 3 when it told me to pick something that wasn't there.

I then went to YouTube and watched a good couple of videos. None told me what I needed. I am completely lost and can not get anything to work right it seems. I am afraid to play around with it too much in fear of breaking it, the game or worse my whole PC.

That is another thing, I am not the smartest person when it comes to PCs. I really only started playing games on it because Steam made it so easy to.

So yeah, any help, please I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome to Cheat Engine, if you can post on the forums, then you can use Cheat Engine! It's that simple!

Perhaps this would all be easier to explain through pictures, so I recommend you look up a better tutorial on the internet.

First off, do you need an active internet connection to play the Dark Souls 2 game?

Dark Souls 2 seems to be an action RPG, according to their Wikipedia page.
"The game uses dedicated multiplayer servers"

You can't alter values with a Multiplayer game using Cheat Engine.

A "CT" file is a "Cheat Table", it's not a trainer in itself, though most (like myself) consider it to be.

You can open the Cheat Table in one of these two ways:

1) Open Cheat Engine (I recommend you get the latest version from the site)
2) Click File
3) Click "Open File"
4) Browse to your Cheat Table and double click it.
5) Alternatively, you can click the yellow folder icon below "Edit", just left of the save button, which itself is left of the loading bar, then browse to your table and open it.

Another way is, to simply double click the CT file, how cool is that! Surprised

That option will only work though, if you have set your file extensions properly, the Cheat Engine installer does that automatically for you, but just in case it didn't, you can use the method above. If, after double clicking, you get "Windows can't open this file", click "select a program from a list of installed programs", click OK, then when you are at the "Open with" window where you have to select your file, click Browse, and then go to the directory where Cheat Engine is installed. Double click the Cheat Engine executable (files with the extension ".exe"), making sure the "always use the selected program to open this file" is ticked, click OK.

Once the Cheat Table is opened, at the bottom you should see a bunch of scripts or addresses, and five rows: Active, Description, Address, Type, and Value. Ticking a box under "Active" would cause a script to become activated, or the value of an address to freeze ("Freeze" is a fancy term for keeping a value constant, meaning it would not change in game and stay the same unless you untick the box)

To get the Table to work, while making sure the Dark Souls 2 game is running, click the blue icon with the magnifying glass on it, click "Window List", then select the Dark Souls II game.

Step 2 is "exact value scanning" and Step 3 is "unknown initial value", which one exactly are you struggling with?

Don't say that you can't get anything to work right, you managed to download Cheat Engine and the Cheat Table, remember?

What exactly were you looking for? How to run the Cheat Table? Or how to attach the process?

Don't worry, Cheat Engine won't break your PC, but since you're experimenting with a game that may potentially be an online RPG, you run the risk of getting caught by their anti-cheating mechanisms, which would result, at most, in getting you permanently banned from using the game's multiplayer services.

You don't need to be a hi-tech computer nerd to use Cheat Engine, anybody can use it, it's very simple.

I don't know how to separate quotes like you did, so I will just answer the best I can.

Dark Souls 2 is mainly a single player game. it has elements of online, some times people can invade you and you can invade them and it has kind of a PvP thing going on. As far as I know, you can play the game offline. Although I never tried.

I do have the CT file set up so that when I start the game I choose the exe file thing, and double click the CT file and the stuff at the bottom pops up. That is mainly where I am stuck.I can not check all the boxes with the red "X" that I want to. Just the ones that drop down other options to check. For example, I can not check the box for max health. I assume this is do to the address being something like P:0000000 and not a bunch of random letters and numbers. Also the Value is stuck as "??"

I have learned this is things you can do with the "First Scan" and stuff, but not sure how that works because all the videos I have watched basically shows how to do that as creating a table (I assume).

The tutorial lost me at step 3. I found nothing anywhere that said "unknown initial value".

What exactly I am looking to do is be able to run this game with cheat engine so I can finally beat it. I don't know any other way to answer that question.

Thanks

Where it says Exact Value, click on it and then choose Unknown Initial Value. Things like these are called comboboxes or select (if you use php) and they contain a lot of other options other than what is shown.

Start the tutorial that you can find in CE folders. Although i'd recommend you learn how to use Windows if you don't know a combobox to begin with.

Good luck Smile
