So I'm a long-time lurker/user, first time poster and I've run into a major problem: When I load up a .CT file, the main cheat engine window disappears, leaving me with a window of just the CT table. Now normally that'd be fine (despite the fact that it's never done that before and I've not changed the CE file at all), but then when I try to USE the CT table, the Lua scripts don't run properly. Or rather, some of them don't. For context, I'm trying to run technojacker's table for Dark Souls I, specifically trying to get the weapon swap mod to work. whenever I try to open the main table, the window freezes, and then if I manage to get the table open, most of the scripts run fine, EXCEPT the "Lua script enablers", which includes the weapon swap mod. Pictures below

a window also pops up when I load the script, also below.

I really am at my wit's end, I've ran tons of scripts before, never ran into anything like this.

Are you certain the table is updated to work with your current version of the game?

It sounds like it has some Lua scripts which execute upon loading the table.
Those scripts may be failing to find the array of bytes in your version.
The delay you're experiencing it CE scanning the entire game memory multiple times.

The scripts you're trying to enable are failing because they are unable to find the array of bytes as well.

That Advanced Options window always pops up if the creator populated it.

As far as I can tell this is the current version of both the game and the table, as others were using it not two days ago. The main problem is that CE's main window disappears when I load the CT file. That, and most of the scripts run fine. Also, occasionally the game will just crash when I'm trying to run the scripts. At this point I have no clue what the root problem actually is.

go to settings->general settings and check "Ask to run lua scripts from table"
when you load a table ce then ask if you wish to run it, just say no

I'm not sure how that would help, I WANT to run the scripts. The fact that they don't run is the problem.

What Dark Byte told you is how to stop that from happening automatically. The Lua script attached to the table is doing that, not running the script will stop that from happening.

As far as the script not running, as said make sure it's for your version of the game. TJ makes some good shit, but game updates can break even the slickest scripts. If the game is on Steam chances are it updated in the background unless you explicitly turned that off for that game in particular, for example.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks! still, unless it updated 5/30 EXACTLY, then It's something on my end. I truly believe the CT should work, and that I'm just being dumb and doing something wrong XD
