Cheat Engine

[Astaroth4256]

I have a bunch of pointers which seem to work, but sometimes when I start up a new game client and attach cheat engine to it then some the pointers are no longer valid. I have tried many and many scans in the past 4 months but I can never get the "ultimate correct pointer", the best pointers I got work in 90% game clients. For me this 90% is enough, but the problem is that it doesn't work this well on my guild mate's PCs. For him the pointers are valid for ~10% game clients unless I scan for them on his PC. Since I can't find the 100% valid pointers, is there any other way to get these dynamic addresses in game client's memory? I use c++ for this.

let your friend generate a pointermap and then use that as a comparison during the scan.

then try a deeper level and/or broader offset range.

2 hours for a 7 level deep pointer scan and still going, I'd have to do this ~15 times every game client update which unfortunately I can't do. I tried messing around with the scan options but then I don't get any valid pointers at all. Is there no other way? I also can't do dll injection

set max different offsets per node to 3 or 4
that tends to reduce the scans a lot

2h+ scan time down to 500miliseconds. Why did I not know of this earlier wtf

[Dark Byte]

It will limit the pointers found by not checking if there are bigger offsets after the first 2 or 3 offsets with a pointer, and since usually you only want the paths with the smallest offsets, this is a win-win situation

[Astaroth4256]

Why not make it stop at 4 by default and leave the possibility of disabling the option to stop at 4 or something? This could help many unexperienced users

i guess i could do that.(with it remembering your choice)
I already moved it from advanced options to the main settings
