All the gamestate values that I've found so far start at address "MyApp.exe" + 000123 with offset 000321. Is there a way I can tell the pointer scan this so that it doesn't have to do so much work?

The pointer scanner doesn't work like that. Use "Base address must be in specific range" to reduce the number of results; however, it won't speed up scans at all.

The pointer scanner works by starting at the destination (i.e. the pointed-to address) and looking at what points to it. When it reaches a static address, it'll throw the path out if the base address isn't within the range (saving disk space), but it still spent time finding that path.

If you want to start at a base address, use the structure spider instead.
