Hey Dark byte,
I've bought new computer 64 bits, i3, win 8.
And was ready to make some haxs.. but everytime I try to enable speedhack it crashes flashplayer..

Can you check it out?

Sorry, but i don't have Windows 8, and will probably wait for windows9, just like i did with vista.
Anyhow, try running flash in win7 compat mode

So you did that too Dark Byte? Yeah I was the same way stayed with XP all the way till Win7! As Vista was like their failed attempt at Windows 7. My previous computer had it pre-installed and I dumped it right away. It was so slow and way too 'secure'. Their idea of security was to not let you do anything at all, that way you supposedly couldn't ever be compromised. Instead it just wouldn't let you the administrator do things you were supposed to have access to (even running as admin, etc, it was bugged so bad), also it was so slow, even a slow loris was thinking of changing its name ! lol...

@DaSpamer: What do you think of Windows 8 so far? I've been using it since the end of October. I actually don't mind it at all and I still feel like I'm at home similar to Windows 7. Maybe there's some major changes under the hood that aren't quite visible (I haven't noticed too much difference from Win 7)

Others have complained that CE doesn't work the same. I have not experienced this. CE still works fine for me on regular desktop games, including speedhack working on games that it worked on before. (With the exception of speedhack not working on Windows Store games, still I was able to hack a 64-bit free Windows 8 Store Game) Look here to test my scripts on that particular game (It may well be the first 64-bit game I've hacked) : http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=559328

Windows 8 still offers the Windows Desktop experience, and actually I find my self mainly only using it still. The start menu has been replaced with a start screen, which at first seems like a major change, however to me it just went from a menu taking up part of the screen to a full screen start menu. So it doesn't seem that different to me now, but you have to wonder why they chose to go this route.

Is it just they wanted to have their own Windows App Store like apple has its Apple App Store? And in order to force you to look at it once in a while, they came up with this start screen instead of start menu idea? They didn't drop the start menu, they just refashioned it into a full screen menu. The Windows key now pops it up instead of the old traditional start menu.

Some people have said that Microsoft is trying to change their name to Microshaft, and limit what applications you can and cannot run. That they'll start activating those 'trusted computing' chips and basically censor and control what we do on our computers.

I think however that is only limited to the Windows App Store itself and the applications allowed in it (Just like Apple controls it's App Store) Full desktop applications can still be executed normally like on previous versions of windows (At least right now I can execute anything I want still).

So all in all I don't think Windows 8 is a bad operating system (at least no where near as horrible as Vista was) I don't think it's a step backwards (As everything I could do previous I can still do) but I'm not sure if its a step in the right direction either.

So what are your thoughts DaSpamer? Or anyone else reading this who has Windows 8! What is your experience like, compared to previous well established good versions of windows (Like Win7, and XP)

I'd like to know what other people think about Windows 8. I kinda like it Very Happy

e.e
I wish I knew where all the stuff, I just got (couple of hours ago),
Start menu is weird, movie player is weird too (I didn't see ANY buttons to close it).
And to run flash in compact mode is not something i know.. (i don't know wheres everything, i used to use win xp/vista)

Ok speedhack is not an issue,
Real issue is that I can't attach c.e debuggers to find out what write/access to a address (NOT flash game this time..).

Found a nice game
http://www.kongregate.com/games/tripknotix/future-ops-5
Wanted to do infinity ammo, and try to make a wall hack..
But after founding X, Y and trying to see what access/writes to it, it shows nothing..

So I tried finding my ammo and nop the decrease function, and again.. it shows nothing...

I need you to make it somehow work mate,
C.E is all I do nowdays, and I'm always using those debuggers, without it, I can't do anything!.

Are you running as a admin?
Have you disabled all security and user admin control crap?
Uninstalled security tools?
Tried a different browser?
Tried a real game like the tutorial?
Tried veh debug?

You're sure you don't have an anti virus running that is "protecting" you from dll injection?
Have you tried the forcedinjection plugin from the main website? (and if you already use it, try disabling it)

Can you speedhack these speedhack test applications? (32 and 64-bit)
http://cheatengine.org/temp/speedhacktest.zip

If not, please post the assembler code of GetTickCount, QueryPerformanceCounter, and if possible TimeGetTime (not always loaded)

daspamer · Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 4:58 am Post subject:

I don't have anti-virus yet xD...
And will check it now..
and yes I tried forceinjectionplugin and tried to disable pepperflash (without pepperflash you can enable speedhack without the forceinjectionplugin)...

will test that file now..

edit:
tested it, and it doesn't work, windows popups that speedhacktest-x86_64.exe has stopped working.
and in c.e it says
failure enabling speedhack (DLL injection failed)
the injection thread took longer than 10 seconds to execute
injection routine was not freed.

Thank you for your continued fantastic program Mr Byte.

Joined just so I could thank you for this bit of code...I was so lost without your speedhack.

Very Happy
