So I was playing a game and I found that the game keeps switching the memory location holding the games information. For example, Health was stored at memory location B1633910 and then later was stored at A2517150.

Fortunately, I was able to deduce that a pointer was switching these locations. So I searched for a pointer that had decreased (in this example) by F11C7C0 (the old address, B1633910, minus the new address, A2517150). One result came up, A76A3910, and low and behold, it was the pointer which was manipulating data storage location (with an offset of C to my particular data).

However when I "Add Address Manually", check Pointer, and type in A76A3910, it returns the long pointer address 9BBC1828A2517150. As you can see, the last 8 digits correspond to the address that I found. This wouldn't be a problem except that this pointer, with my offset of C (making it 9BBC1828A251715C), returns a value of ??. Meanwhile, if I add the non-pointer address A251715C, it returns the appropriate value.

Why is the long pointer returning a value of ?? while the non-pointer is returning the appropriate value? Is there anyway to get it to return the appropriate value?

That fixed it. Thanks!
