Cheat Engine

Hi all,

I'm very new to game hacking so first of all, I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question.

I've been practicing on simple games like assault cube with no issues.
I wanted to see if I could do some simple memory scanning on Ark Survival ascended which is a UE5 game. But the scanner never returns any results, not matter what I search, even searching for a 4byte integer of '1' returns nothing.

I assume I'm doing something wrong or maybe there is some sort of protection on ARK Ascended that is stopping the scan?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You're most likely not attached to the right process. Unreal Engine based games files called ({GAMENAME}--Win64-Shipping.exe). Also, a UE5 based game isn't where you should test what you've learnt. Try UE4 ones or something else if this is hard (depending on the application you're after).

Thanks, I've now found the right process and I'm getting values back. But not the ones I'm looking for.

Yeh I'm not trying to skip ahead to the harder games or anything I was merely curious and will carry on with the easier stuff for now.

Appreciate your help!
